My partner and I are from the east coast, but it seems way more south than most everyone else. We're in Orlando, FL area. Not too convenient for us to hop on a train and meet up with anyone up in the northeast, unfortunately. Although we were thinking of a short summer trip up to the NE before the cruise. We're open to any recommendations on where to go... maybe Boston again, we loved going there for the first time last summer. -- Abby and Neta
