Enjoy yourself. I'm so jealous.
You have to do the double decker bus tour. It gives you a very good overview of the battlefield. Then buy the CD tour for your car. This way you can get out and walk. The other thing is just walk it and note epecially where Pickett’s division stepped off. It’s an eye opener (at least to me).

I’ve ‘walked the charge’ and it simply blew us both away considering how long it took, and how much fire was coming from basically a 180 degree arc by the time they got to the copse of trees. We did the CD tour, at the time it was a cassette tape (like I said, its been a long time) and that was very good. This time around the wife insists we get one of the National Battlefield Tour Guides - we kinda followed a couple that ‘bought one’ last time....LOL!
The Gettysburg.com website offers motorcyle tours...I’d love to do that but its about a six and a half hour drive via car, so thats out for this trip.
Anything else you think of, please pass it along. We’re even going to do one of the ‘haunted tours’ while there.
