One If By Land and Two If By Air!

And I on the opposite runway will be.... I'm jetting off to Boston, Mass. for three weeks off and on in late April and May. I'll be the lead on a Change Management project. The first time I was in Boston, I was 9 years old. My family was living in Michigan for one year and we took a trip to Boston to take in the historical sights and visit my uncle, aunt and cousins. What I remember most is that the baked beans tasted NOTHING like my mom's baked beans, the brown bread had raisins (YUCK!), and there was a big-ass boat in the harbor. Now I'll be trekking back to Boston not as a disappointed child but a woman who loves history, travel and food. So I'm asking for your suggestions on what to do, see and eat when in Boston.

Boston

There was a young man from Boston
Who bought himself a new Austin (Healy)

There was room for his ass
And a gallon of gas

But the rest hung out
And he lost 'em.

I was only in Boston once: for a day and a half to do my randomly-selected rides on the Boston transit system. I liked what I saw. I think sometimes I would like to return but, except for a few new museums, I haven't the various things to do that could rise to the level of incentive.

Have a great journey. I think you will not be disappointed.

Hugz to you and your dearly beloved.

Great walks: the Freedom Trail, Fanuil Hall, Boston Common. Concerts on the Esplanade, teh Swan Boats, long drives in the New England countryside, especially to Concord to see the Old North Bridge, eat at teh Old Colonial Inn, walk the battlefield monument, check out the wonderful old houses where Louisa May Alcott and David thoreau lived, Walden Pond swimming in the summer... I can go on and on.
Lived there between 1969 and 1975.
