Staybridge Suites Boston-Andover, Ma

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 ...

Well! Two ports in two days, that's going some and I couldn&#8217;t get off in either of them. Still Jacksonville next &#8211; whoopee &#8211; shopping and nails, etc.<br><br>We got to Boston and anchored right at the end of the Logan International Airport runway, a very busy airport. A barge brought the bunkers out, this took about 4 hours so we were then on our way to Hantsport, Novia Scotia. We arrived at the anchorage there about 10pm that same evening. We ...

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 ...

... which looked much like Hyde Park including a small gathering of bodies trying to resurrect Jesus through the medium of sound. They thought they'd done it and looked aghast when the ground rumbled beneath them but then David pointed out (to me) that it was just the subway. Oh, how we laughed at the Jesus-ites. This then led up to the Massachusettes State House built in 1798 which was beautiful. Benjamin Franklin statue - he was one of the founders of the USA. Quincy ...

... told me they enjoyed my question. Wow I was blown away. I hope many people will read the biography and be inspired by her life as I have been. I left the gathering with more questions than answers though. What did Swamiji mean when he said "The answer will dawn within you?" Did he mean I will just realize the answer in my conscousness at some future time? Was he politely saying that the question was too complex to be answered ...

... many innings. Falling asleep by the end, kind of like cricket I guess! Wouldn't have missed it though. The next day we walked the freedom trail - more evidence of the Brits abroad on the trail that directs you to the major sites in Boston's history, including the famous tea party. Saw a bunch of folk straight out of Oh Brother where art thou singing away in Boston common. Ate Chowder, traditional Boston ...

... We got back to the house at 3:30 cold and tired. Some of us grabbed a quick snack and some of us took a nap. The tour of Salem would go on rain or shine so even though it was raining pretty hard, we drove to Salem. We first went to the Grants' house for dinner at 6PM. She had made meatloaf, salad, chicken casserole, twice-baked potatoes, and bread. She also had apple pie for dessert! Then we ...

I am leaving for my month-long backpacking excursion in less than 48 hours and will be traveling with two friends from college, Liz and Audrey. About a year ago, Liz and I made a pact that we would travel through Europe together after we finished our AmeriCorps service in New Hampshire. Liz had only been to Italy (although she spent 5 weeks there!) and wanted to see the ...
