Since I had issues on Day 1 getting my pictures from camera to computer this is belated. Instead of "I will miss them" this is I am really, really missing them. I also just want to acknowledge my awesome hubby for supporting this trip. He could have said no and I might or might not have ended up doing it anyway - but he knows how much fun I have traveling with Becky - and it's been a long, Long, LONG time since I've had a real vacation (Florida notwithstanding ;). Anyway. Love them, miss them, Hubs and my fur babies.... read more

Well I would consider today a success. I learned some valuable lessons about the cabs around the North Shore. It's kind of interesting that Uber doesn't have a great name here. Plus if you find the right cab company the savings are minimal. They have also been having price surges on Uber. I'm sticking with the cabs. I made it to the Liberty Tree Mall to get a cable so I could upload pictures (really important), I also got some supplies like water and apples and such so I would stay away from the vending machines. If you missed my first post - I'm kinda in the boondocks. But oh golly are the boondocks beautiful with fall color. I can't wait to get some pictures tomorrow. I'm reposting the picture from this morning but taken with ... read more

So I delayed writing about my first day until I had a chance to sleep on it. Yeah. It was interesting. It started early on. My first experience with Terminal A at DFW. I am a Terminal C girl. Really, I don't think I've ever had the need to use one of the other terminals until recently. My flight to Denver last week left out of D. I like terminal D. It actually makes sense to me. Terminal A? Not so much. Now I know Jay and I are getting older but that place is just confusing. Enough so that the guys in curbside check knew the frazzled look once we finally got there. Did I mention we took the route that took us to the way far out parking before we got there? Yeah. Flight ... read more

Det lakker mod enden og vi har bare slappet af hele dagen. Vi sov længe og tog en stille og rolig dag. Dog skulle vi dog lige nå morgenmad inden de lukkede for det kl. 9.30. Vi nåede det lige for man må sige, at de er punktlige her på hotellet. Præcis 9.30 blev det pakket væk upåagtet, at der stadig sad en del ved morgenbordet. Hen på eftermiddagen tog vi en tur hen til boghandleren Barnes & Noble for at kigge på bøger, da udvalget er meget større herovre. Der blev brugt flere timer på at kigge og læse på selvbiografier, computer- og elektronikbøger. Det var et helt slaraffenland i forhold til de danske boghandlere :-). Ellers var det bare tilbage på hotellet efter aftensmaden, som var lækker bøf på 'Outback' (australsk restaurant). Vi kunne ... read more

I dag gik det videre til Danvers nord for Boston, hvor vi havde booket de to sidste nætter på Comfort Inn. Vi trængte til afveksling fra Super 8 motellerne. Dog skulle vi lige først omkring det lokale supermarked for at aflevere vores lejefilm til 1 USD stykket!! På vej nordpå var temperaturen mere "normal" end tidligere - omkring 25 C er meget passende samtidig med lidt skyer, så man ikke bliver alt for "svedet". Som altid skal vi lige forbi noget, vi har hørt om, men aldrig set; denne gang var det historiske Harvard Universitet, som havde rødder tilbage fra 1600-tallet. At der er lidt historisk over det kunne ses på de arkæologisk lignende udgravninger de studerende havde lavet i "Old Yard". Vi måtte også lige fotografere gamle John Hovard, som havde grundlagt det fine universitet. ... read more

5-28-10 We gladly left our hotel this morning, the beds were hard, but the hotel had really great free breakfast. We headed to Boston, MA today and visited the Freedom Trail. We started at the Boston Commons, where I accidentally drove through a pedestrian walk way that the police officer said was blocked off, but I drove through, not knowing. He said it was a $50 ticket, but was nice and didn’t give it to me and told Pam to navigate better. I then drove around and found by accident, Beacon Hill, it was so pretty there. Once Pam got the address to Breeds Hill she put it in the Tom Tom, we were off to the Battle of Bunker Hill Site, where they had a miniature Washington Monument. Inside is a statue, I have attached ... read more
