I have a question for those of you who live outside the National Capital Area (loosely defined as between Richmond, Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland). Does this guided tour () look interesting to you?

My partner and I went to Turkey with Go Ahead Vacations in 2001, and we get their vacation catalog quite frequently. In fact, it’s a little too frequent - the catalogs are basically all the same. Today, though, we got a special “New Tours” catalog, and it included a tour called Birthplace of a Nation: Williamsburg to Gettysburg. For a nine-day vacation they are asking $1,999 which just seems really expensive to me. But it occurs to me that maybe it feels expensive because I’ve lived here my whole life. I have been to every stop on the tour at least once, and sometimes more than once. So I’m wondering - does that look like an interesting tour to non-locals? Would you pay for the convenience of having a packaged tour like this? (Obviously the whole thing could be done for less money if you stayed with friends, etc.) If money were no object, would you want to go on this tour?
