What could be better than the magnificent beauty of fall leaves in New England? Adding three days in Cape Cod watching the waves crash over the shores should be a good answer.

As we journey to New England, we’ll pay tribute to our military and civilian heroes at the Air Force Museum, Flight 93 Memorial, Mayflower II and Plymouth Plantation before enjoying the surf, sand and sun.
