Despite being a programmer, I love reading military history books and visiting museums. Time to plan a visit to New Orleans. Riding in a real PT boat would be a blast. Much more likely than my dream of driving Tiger 131 (the one in Bovington used in movie Fury).

Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to go through the WWII Museum there. It is huge and extremely well put together, with tons of artifacts (including entire airplanes) and some of the best exhibit design I've ever seen.

If you do be sure to make a side trip from NO to Mobile,al and see the USS Alabama.

I recommend Airforce museum in Dayton, OH if you haven't been. It is a huge place so at least a 2-3 day affair.
