| Think of this package this way….you have three nights in NY, DC, and LA. How would you budget your time? Where would you stay? What would be your "must-see" places? That was the thought behind putting this package together. Nine days of on-the-go sprinting to see as many of these iconic destinations as possible. Nine days to amaze yourself at seeing places that you've only seen in pictures and textbooks up close and pinching yourself that you are really there. | |
