Salem Travel Blogs

     Kerry and I decided to get up early and head to Salem today; Kerry had been there before but I hadn't and I really wanted to see it. Of course as our luck would have it evidently everyone else was also going to Salem or at least in the geneal direction of Salem as we no soo…

Salem is famous for its Witch Trials/Hysteria in 1692. It started when three young girls went into a series of fits and seizures. They claimed to be under the influence of dark magic. They accused three women who were on the social fringes of Salem, a beggar, an infrequent church-goer (major social…

My friend, Suzi & I got to Salem around 10am & went to the visitor center to decide what to see & do. It was supposed to rain but it ended up being a beautiful day. We first went to the WITCH DUNGEON MUSEUM with a reenactment and then a tour of the Dungeon.  There were ce…

The week after graduation five of us set off from PA to spend a few days in Boston and the surrounding area.  This was the first trip I made without adult chaperones in the US (I had gone on a mission trip to Mexico in January; we traveled on our own although there were adults overseeing us at…

Being the tourists that we were, we went into Salem for the afternoon. It was incredibly complicated trying to get there, as we missed a few trains before we realized exactly how to get out there, but the city itself was great. Very quaint and quite pretty (although it was freezing!). We went in…

Extensive trip spanning the BoWash Corridor (Boston to Washington DC)

A few friends and I went up to visit a friend of ours in Boston, and then went to Salem for the weekend.

What supernatural lover can resist a trip to Salem during a Hallowen season? Not I!

I took a road trip driving from Pennsylvania through Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachssetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine and then all the way back down again, it was a 9 day trip. Discovered alot of really interesting places along the way.

Took a weekend trip up to the Witch City with some friends to see the town decked out for Halloween. It's very festive and have some great tours, just remember to book rooms well in advance and expect crowds if you go this time of year.

Oh my,  I thought,  I am in the Navy now, I can handle this little boat ride.... Nah Nah Nah..... I needed a Dramamine.  It fit all of us from the Fitness group and we rode for about two hours in calm waters.  But they were not so calm for me.  As I have mentioned be…

So my friends, Jon, Kristi and I got some buddy passes to go up to Boston...but sadly Kristi had to back out due to work.  So it was just Jon and I on our trek up to Beantown. We left Monday bright and early in the Morning and got into Boston by 10AM where we got some transportation up to Sa…

I'll be back

Failing to see Cape Cod, we knew we had to make Salem. We drove back through Boston, making our way slowly past the "Big Dig" and in to Salem. Salem was a neat place, the buildings and homes had some great architecture. We made our way the the Salem Witch Museum and sat through an interes…
