Will update with details and photos on Wednesday, August 16th!  Please come back - I have some great photos to share.

My sister Nikki was struggling through a one year stint as an au pair in Boston, Masachusetts.The family were probably the 2nd biggest bunch of assholes on the planet. Their 3 precocious sons were a real tribute to poor parenting.I went over to be the nice big brother. Set them all into line and wh…

Sometime in between these two trips I went to Boston, got absolutely wet under the rain, had to buy new pants and top in some alternative store and went to Cambridge. But I don't have those pictures. I found these, apparently my last trip to Boston, I knew it was my last time for several years, may…

I have to say that Boston is my favourite city in mainland USA. The last time I was there - was three weeks before the planes took off from Boston airport to crash into the Twin Towers.Anyway. My friend lives in Boston, which was the main reason for going. They've finished the replica Cheers set…

After returning from Salem, we met up with some friends who were in town for the week as well at the Legal Sea Foods flagship restaurant. After dinner, Rocco, a Boston native who also happens to be a good family friend, took Mom and me out for our first cannoli in Little Italy, as well as drove us…

I've always maintained that if the world didn't have a London, then either San Francisco or Boston would be my next 2 favourite cities. I'd never quite considered the option of landing in Boston though, I was hoping I could get a direct flight to DFW but the wonders of AAdvantage Travel - you never…

I have hit a really rough patch of senioritis at work. I am kinda blah and done with my job. Don't get me wrong I adore my job, I am a Foreign Student Adviser at a great English Language School, however I want to be done with it.Yesterday Martin, his name will come up often in these blogs as he is …

Got an earlyish ferry out of Nantucket with Sallie...time passed quicker with two as we chatted the whole way. Arrived here in Boston, this afternoon and felt a little worse for wear but regrouped and headed out to see what the city had to offer. Decided to hit some shops to get some replacement je…

I had decided to go to Boston alone as part of a scouting trip to see how I would cope for a further 60 odd day trip to America in 2009 hopefully and also maybe a way of "finding myself again" after my wife left me so here is a small essay of my trip haha.   Day 1 - Are you go…

What a week it has been. I really hate to leave it all behind. The country has such extremes..like they say Fire and Ice. We are getting up at 0800 and finish packing. Heading down stairs to eat one last breakfast in Iceland. Our bus will pick us up at 1200  and take us back to Keflavik to the…

    My 16th birthday was on Tuesday, May 23rd. To celebrate, my parents said I could invite 3 of my close friends to come to New York City with me! It was quite an expensive trip since there were 6 people all together, so we only stayed one night. We left Boston at around 8:30 AM and…

Unfortunately I forgot step 1: don't book travel to hurricane-susceptible cities during hurricane season.  Oops.  My vague plan for my travels this year was to explore down south, as I haven't really been south before.  I definitely wanted to see New Orleans, so I booked a flight... …

Searching for digs the day before heading to city is a mistake we've made early on and one that won't happen again. On top of that, the third monday in April is Patriots day, a New England public holiday, and the running of the Boston Marathon.   We ended up booking a small airport hot…

I left South Station in Boston on a Greyhound bus.  I know the bus isn't the fanciest way to travel, but I've adapted to sleeping on the bus and finding interesting things to do during long layovers in the bus terminals.  Mostly I people watch or read/write.My favorite parts of the bus tr…
