Day 1: Marblehead, Salem, Gloucester, Rockport
I LOVE going up to New England. I feel like it's a second home to me. However, I didn't start off my trip on a good note. My plane departed Dulles at about 6am but there was a slight problem. As we were pulling away from the terminal, the cabin lights wouldn't shut off. At first, the stewardess was asking if anyone cared if the lights stayed on.
