When we go to Boston (My Wife's home town), we typically stay at the Constitution Inn at the Charlestown Naval Yard (Right next to the USS Constitution). We've also stayed at Wainwright hall on Ft. Myer Virginia when visiting Washington DC, and have also stopped off at the Navy Lodge at Naval Air Station Key West when down that way. We've also rented a cottage right ON the BEACH in Florida on Patrick Air Force Base. Much less expensive than using local hotels in each case!Response by SSG Gerhard S. made Dec 5 at 2014 6:52 PM2014-12-05T18:52:28-05:002014-12-05T18:52:28-05:00LTC John Mohor1426595<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I liked Hawaii and Garmisch a lot they were both great places.
