Every day was an adventure. I'm back in New England, but cities always change...there's always something new to see. Thank you again, for stopping by. Please visit again soon. :-) Cheers. And thank you for your blog link.

They offer whale watches in the summer, which is always a fun time. And walking the Freedom Trail is eye opening and fun for history buffs. So much to see and do. :-)Kelly Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424296190091205312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-90250830345809054322014-01-22T07:28:29.592-05:002014-01-22T07:28:29.592-05:00Great get-away tips and a fine way to get away for...Great get-away tips and a fine way to get away for a weekend! Boston is a nice destination with plenty to do and I really enjoy the walking trails. In the warmer climate I've enjoyed the boat ride and believe Boston has quite a nice aquarium, which continues to be one of my favorites.

You don't have to spend hours in an airport or in the car or on a train, and you support the local economy. It's a win-win.

It's affordable and very user friendly...but a word of advice...use public transportation. The "T" is affordable, color coded and very easy to use. Driving can be frustrating, with the one-way streets and non-gridded layout. I hope you get a chance to visit Boston soon....I think it will be a place you will want to return to again and again. :-)Kelly Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424296190091205312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-12800442311549265952014-01-21T20:31:05.131-05:002014-01-21T20:31:05.131-05:00Kerry, we agree completely.

And you're not spending all day in a car, train or at the airport. :-) Groupon and priceline are fabulous for deals, and through priceline, we got a great deal. Explore your options and keep saving and planning for that big trip. Have fun! Please come back and visit again soon.

We spent Saturday shopping in local shops as they are trying to revitalize a small town nearby and we did our part by shopping local. I love to go into NYC for fun time instead of just going into work. We did watch the game, sorry your team is out. Ours has been for some time, but I am looking forward to the Superbowl being in the area this year!Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926597921523807422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-9904768929002667262014-01-21T04:06:19.824-05:002014-01-21T04:06:19.824-05:00Diwrnod Santes Dwynwen, the welsh valentines day i...Diwrnod Santes Dwynwen, the welsh valentines day is on the 25th of Jan, in case you wanted another excuse to celebrate.
