There's always a downside to things and that was the flight back was with Virgin Atlantic which is always a pile of poop. They pack you tight in there and it doesn't help when people put the seats back, at least we only had to suffer it for 6 hours. The TV's on the back of the seats are crap, not that there was much to watch, the food is crap and if we would have had any other choice we would have taken it.
A few months ago I bought a what's called a file hub, which creates its own WiFi so you can stream movies and TV shows you have downloaded to a memory stick, you can then log in via your tablet or phone and stream your entertainment from there so I ended up watching TV that way, well worth £40.
We landed on time at 9.40am and got through the airport fairly quickly to the taxi we had booked so was home for midday. The wheely and the bags seemed to have survived this trip despite the TSA did cut the lock of one after we had checked it in but that happens from time to time.
So after 13 days in Boston, we had high temperatures of 30 centigrade and only a couple of showers. We also got good value out of the Charlie Card making over 100+ subway trips, although some were interlinking trips so it would only count as one fare, 8 buses, 2 commuter rail, and 1 ferry we did have to pay extra for the ferry and commuter rail.
The hotel was ok, but I'm not sure about 4-star ones, it's just too upmarket for us, although they were nice and large rooms with a wet room. All in all, I think we both enjoyed Boston and eating Dunkies but I don't see us coming back any time soon, in fact, this was all a bit last minute as we had planned on going to Philly but due to the price wasn't able to, that's for next year though. Boston was much like Chicago, you could see it all in 7 days I suppose, but given my age and lady Jane's mobility, it takes us longer to get around. I have to book 2 days extra off work just to get over the flight now.
So thanks for reading until next time in Philly or wherever.
Adios.
