One of the hard and fast Kretzer Rules of Travel is “If a city has a subway system, use it” This is because it will suck to try drive yourself around. I know this. I have learned this the hard way in Washington DC, and a little bit in Chicago. I have been to Boston before, and used the subway. …

It was a Sunday and the New England area of the US was in for a winter storm. Boston and surrounding areas received about 2 feet of snow! I wached the snow coming down hard while I had the New England Patriots playoff game on. I believe they were playing the Pittsburgh Steelers down …

     On Sunday we decided to take the train into Boston which was great since I have never been on a commuter train and have NO commuter train ediquette (how do you spell ediquette????), which was quickly brought to my attention when I played my McDonalds porn clip on my phone m…

Finally we landed in Boston about a half hour late which was not good at all! To add to that, we were delayed getting to our gate to unload because they were not ready for our plane. I couldn’t figure that one out since we were late to start with, but we’re here and that’s all that matters. W…

This morning we got up proper early and headed to Boston Logan to catch our flight back to DC.  Since I was flying with Sarah and Nathan this time, I decided not to put them through the hell of 3 connecting flights, and just go ahead and get on a non-stop.  We flew JetBlue to Dulles. …

The weather had been so fantastic in Milwaukee that when we left that morning, I conveniently left our sweatshirts hanging over the back of the couch. That isn't something I normally ever do. I usually have a hoodie with me even when it's hot outside, because the hotter it is outside, the colder th…

I had to catch a semi-early flight back to South Florida cause I had to work the next day. That and Maureen still had to work. We had originally decided to take the subway all the way out to Logan Airport. But then I started to think how crowded they might be with commuters heading towards work. So…

Sunday morning I was awoken some time in the middle of the night by a sound which I was sure was a mouse scratching something in or near the living room. I was mostly asleep, half delirious, and mostly just annoyed that this was waking me up, as I was sleeping next to a window and there was plenty …

We had a late start. it was a 2 hour drive from groton, CT. the drive was beautiful. it was the start of the leaves turning colors. going to the new england states in the fall is the best time to see the colors.  the last time i was here was in May 2006. i wanted to see more of the city. …

I went to Boston for a weekend to visit my friend Rachel and see Sound Tribe Sector 9 play at the Bank of America Pavilion. GOOD TIMES!

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…

When I first arrived in Boston last April, I had nowhere to live. Luckily, one of my friends who I'd be living with in Boston had cousins living in South Boston, and we were able to stay with them for a few days until we found a house or apartment. They were kind enough to invite us for breakfast o…

How can I describe the experience of watching a game at historic Fenway Park?  I will do my best, but you simply must take in a game if you're ever in the Boston area.The vibe emanating from Fenway on any Red Sox game night, whether home or away, is contagious! Even if you don't have tickets t…

This was my best transfomation today!   Matthew, (mbanos19) had a birthday on Nov 2nd and I looked at his profile photo and thought, I could give him a small gift by changing his shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.    Oh, and I removed a wire…
