606 Congress Street Boston, Massachusetts, United States, 02210, 617-338-4111
Well, we had a good first day in Boston. The flight was long but fairly uneventful other than the fact the pilot said we were approaching Boston and we were still 90 minutes away. But we got on the train - public transportation, what a concept - and got to our hotel, which is wonderful. It's right on Boston Harbor and we have a view of the harbor from our 18th floor room. After settling in, we headed to the Quincy Market for dinner. As we were walking down the street, Ryan noticed that sever...
Boston, Massachusetts, United States bordowsHey, this is Ryan! I've been hearing word that I'm a better writer than my dad. He told me to keep that a secret. Hmm... Anyway, I'll give you a quick run-through of the day. Well, after we woke up, we walked down to Long Wharf, where we went on a WHALE-WATCHING CRUISE! :P At the start of the cruise, the boat traveled at an incredible speed, causing the sea to spray in our faces and my soda to spray all over Emily. ^_^ Soon the boat slowed down and we waited for whales. They said we'd see Orc...
Boston, Massachusetts, United States bordowsHey this is Ryan P. Bordow Esquire, son of Melissa Bordow, sister-in-law to Jeff Sprout, former jail-bird. (I bet you didn't know that, Aunt Mel)! So today, we took the usual subway route down to Prudential, where we ate at an awesome little restaurant called Thornton's, which we hope IS NOT A CHAIN. They believe in loading their bagels with cream cheese. Yum. Then, we went up to the fiftieth floor of the Prudential observatory, the second largest building in Boston next to the Hancock... um....

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
Boston, United States opheliarising... arrive in New York with enough time to walk (instead of run) to my next flight, which will take me into Seoul, South Korea, where I'll have a layover. From there I'll fly into Jakarta and then on to Padang; I'll arrive on Wednesday, the 18th, EST (Thursday, the 19th, WIB). <br><br>I'll return home early Christmas Eve (the 24th of December).<br><br>Easy peasy. I hope.
Boston, Massachusetts, United States opheliarising... br>1) Get some usable/nice looking data for my thesis<br>2) Soak in some quiet sceneryon the Premier Classe sleeper between Johannesburg and Cape Town (27 hours on a train hotel and winding through the mountains and scrublands (karoo--as seen on the image to this blog))<br>3) Be depressed about Apartheid<br>4) Enjoy summer in December <br>5) Relax and be merry<br><br>And return just in time for Christmas break.
Boston, Massachusetts, United States mchao... to report that we are in their area. I think you get a longer sentence if you hit one than for murder. Did you know, they are called Right Whales because in the days of whalers being big business, they were the easiest whale to catch, because they were slow and travelled in groups, so they would say "These are the 'Right’ whales to catch!" Bit of history there for you, so you can wake up now.<br><br>I did my washing and drying today, I might iron tomorrow.
Boston, Massachusetts, United States patsypink... gang volunteers that answer the many questions OLPC receives daily. He directs the Contributors Program which recycles gently used XOs to further the reach of the OLPC mission. And, he does lots more. That the Vung Vieng Fishing Village Laptop Project is happening, is in large part, due to Adam's enthusiasm, encouragement and patience. Thank you Adam!<br><br>In case you are ...
Boston, Massachusetts, United States nsevers... t know what we are doing when it comes to beer drinking in England. I think that most of us settle for far too little cos we just wanna get p*ssed! <br>Now that I have tried some of the finer fruits of brewing labour, I realise that in relation to these, virtually all of our most popular beers...are...just....sh*te. Don't get me wrong - we have some great beers in the UK too (and local pubs that do quirky brews), but they are way too few and far between. Newcastle Brown ...
Boston, Massachusetts, United States jamiemeasures... in Paris but caught on, two hours later. Unknown to me they don't put your check bagages on your new flight, so had to wait in Madrid for four hours. Good note it is a really nice day in Madrid, so enjoyed that. i must say that the French and the Spanish are really friendly even though I am butchering their language
