    No, sir. Not a pilot... I'm just enlisted, you have to be an officer to fly. I'm a mechanic on B-1 Lancers.

    And also, New England itself isn't a state -- it's a term used for that particular region of the country and it consists of six states, Massachusetts being one of them.

    You need to remember that New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut) is really a very small region. It has a well developed interstate system so travel by car anywhere doesn't usually take longer than a few hours. You could fit the outline of New England completely inside the state of Texas, and I think it would still cover only about half.

    Extreme northern New England is very rural, almost wild rural. The coasts of CT and RI are rat races. Everything in between is fairly similar in terms of landscape, transit, commerce, early architecture, housing styles, etc., with just population density decreasing as you go north. It's a very homogeneous area as it was all settled and developed in the same period of time by very similar groups.

    Boston is a large city that can be crowded and very busy. But it has a certain quality that allows you to go at your own speed and enjoy the restaurants, stores, activities, and numerous historical sites without getting swept up by sheer amount of everyday activity that occurs in a place like New York. As a lifelong resident of southern Connecticut, I'd rather visit Boston than New York and have always considered Boston to be sort of the unofficial capital of New England. New York is really its' own animal, and not at all "New England".
