Hi David
How are you,no unfortunatly I have never made it to the U.S.A. my travel has been mostly in France looking at the D-DAY invasion beaches and the battle of Normandy battlefields also a short visit to the WWI area in the east of France.
When I read the names who were showing a interest in the Vicksburg trip I though it sounded like a good chance of a real learning experience,so hopefully some other time.
