Four Points by Sheraton Norwood

Thought I would blog on here and give it a bash !! Just been giggling at Amy distraught cos she broke her shell garage torch lol Nevermind and have lost most adaptors for electricity already but never mind !! Went to Samuel Adaqms brewery and it was mint !! Amy got beermats for herself and David (making sure she gets 2 Louise lol) Got cool tasting glasses to ...

... for all his kindness, help and great motorbikes
~Jon & Sophie, who many years ago converted me from being just another dumb tourist to a world-traveler - thanks kids, perhaps we will get to do yet another adventure someday!(even if I missed Costa Rica LOL)
~And of course sweet Aranya in Patong beach who shared much quality time with me in Patong, Ko Phi Phi, Surin Beach, exploring the national park, etc ...

... gloves as she lost hers somewhere and also a hat that had ear warmers on it too........This place also had the snow storm pass through that we experienced in Phili and there is still heaps on the ground and cars here.....I think it was about 5 degrees max today.......like its 3 degrees celcius now and its only just after 8:30 ish..........

From there we took the Freedom Trail south which led us through some pretty cool streets and finally to ...

... in the side street to the stadium.....wicked.

On checking in there were 2 Irish guys that had a oint or two and one of them decided we were long lost friends and talked to us for ages. Linda mentioned that it was out honeymoon and I was here to see a game and he told the check in dood to either upgrade us or give us his room and he'll take ours.....
Not sure if we were upgraded, but this place is nice......Will take some pics in the morning....sleep to catch as it is now 03:30.

loved the flight, and the hospitality of the BA business class experience. I even had a facial as I though it would be done by a dolly. Then some big gay guy came out to 'facial' me. I was petrified. I have to say that he did a really good job though!!

I REALLY made the most of the free champagne and wine on the flight too. Legs were a bit wobbly on my return to the good old US and A!

... bar (I remember going there with Bryn 20 years ago, didnt recall the fact that they serve food... you get the picture) and all our old mates joined us. Including Arthur and his wife who stayed till the bitter end. Actually it wasnt that late a night and we ended up back at the Connollys who know then all and havent seen them for ages. Was so good to reconnect as many had come to our wedding. They are still great fun.

Off to Martha's Vinyard today for an overnight stay.

... a major city. On Tuesday, I was able to get a seat at Charlie's Sandwiche Shoppe - voted the best breakfast in America for multiple years - and had a heart attack inducing portion of cranberry pancakes, which was nice but haven't really needed to eat since then. It's off to Portland, Maine now for some Shawshank Redemption nostalgia.

... was ok - very american! Which is strange but done with some taste. Day 3 - I headed to Fenway park and managed to get tickets for the 1pm tour which gave me 90 minutes to wonder the area. I had a great time, first in Starbuks were 5 people were helping me choose where to eat and then an electrical store where I had another 4 people help me understand what 'ultra fast' means on a camera memory card (apparently not much!). I then headed back ...

So because my plane was over an hour late getting to logan (and one of the ONLY flights delayed!!!) we didn't get off the ground until 4:45 pm, when we should have left at 3:15. i asked 3 different people at the us air desk if i would make my connecting flight in pittsburgh at 6:15, and they all said i would be there by 6. what time did we land? 6:20. i thought for sure i'd missed it, because the lady at the us air desk said "they don't hold planes for ...

... new york next week. The pools are great, all 5 of them. I took it easy last night ordering room service and watching a movie in my room then a spa. I'm tired now from all the flying today so i will head to bed soon. This place looks really nice, lots of people around and things to do. Ill write more about Boston tomorrow night, Cheers. Rick
