Hawthorn Suites Boston - Andover

Bored sitting here waiting for my flight to Seoul (scheduled to leave @ 0050 hrs.). Catching up on some emails & research in the meantime. Still have a few more calls to make before the flight; will check in once I arrive in Seoul as it may be last contact 'til the return trip (not sure how technologically savvy our base camp will be). Happy holiday, everyone! Sent from my BlackBerry Tour

... the Consulate this evening (yep, after 5pm), the gentleman on the other end was gracious and helped me somewhat. I have to call back Monday morning (yep, the 16th, the day I'm leaving) to see if we can remedy my forgetfulness here or in-country (they allow on-arrival visas, thankfully!).<br><br>My flight will be leaving here (Boston) at 7pm on Monday, the 16th; I ...

... spirits this week, especially now that I have my lodging and travel arrangements sorted out. <br><br>I'm generally a plan ahead type of traveler and I can honestly say that I've been unnervingly (for me anyway) about details on this trip. No hourly schedules, no printouts of bus and train routes. But I think my general itinerary looks like:<br><br>1) Arrive Johannesburg 11/15<br>2) Visit some other ...

... again. This time Tony piloted her out, otherwise the pilot and the tug boat would have to wait outside for the next tide.<br><br>So here we are doing 14knots. The day is grey but warming up a little, although I can&#8217;t say it&#8217;s been cold.<br><br>We haven&#8217;t seen any whales yet, although we did see the spout of a Right Whale yesterday. We knew it was a Right Whale as their spout comes out V-shaped. They are a protected species here and we ...

... the British were coming we it was to Concord from Boston that he was riding.  This part of American/British history is really very interesting.  We never truly understood the events but now have a much better grasp on the events.<br><br>Rather than drag the RV all the way to Gloucester through Salem and Rockport we thought just having a day trip would be great.  So off we went to see Salem the location of the Salem witch trial but ...

Finally heading to Spain to start my month long trip! This will be an interesting trip as I don't know Spanish and I hear that english is not generally spoken. Let the Adventure begin!<br><br><br><br>The flight over from Boston went well other than a little hold up with the computers. This caused me to miss my connecting ...

... was a plethora of book shops, coffee bars, record shops, clothes shops etc. We went into a heaving starbucks and we people watched for a while. There were students, lecturers?? with heavy briefcases, parents catching up with their Harvard kids and nodding in all the right places, tourists like us gazing at the ceiling, floor, out the window, at maps. Definitely tourists! Harvard was a fascinating place. A private University, it was originally founded in 1636 so is ...

... of the entire universe! Here she is smiling at me! I was overjoyed and overcome. Amma asked me if I wrote it and I indicated "yes" with hands in pranam mudra. The question concerns a passage in Amma's biograpy on pages 168-169. Don't settle for my summary outlined in the question below read the passage for yourself! As a matter of fact order the biography and read the whole thing! You will be glad you did definitely one of the best ...

... many things. We went for a 2 hr walk and then returned for a rest before dinner. Nearby Bolyston St provided a range of restaurants to choose from and we have just returned full and ready for a good sleep. The A/C failed in the Dartmouth dormitory the night before so it was a bit hot for sleeping. Boston is a delightful city and we plan to do the 'Freedom walk' in the morning which includes the main points of history/interest for Boston. More tommorrow ...

... the illusion of blending the old with the new. It's absolutely stunning. After a lovely little walk down Commonwealth Avenue we drove up to the USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides", and then up to the Bunker Hill Monument. As I stood near the monument on top of Breed's Hill, I felt an overwhelming feeling of comaradrie with the country my of ...
