Boston 2022 – Getting There and Being There
Boston 2022 – Getting There and Being There! Nothing compares to Boston in the Springtime – especially if you’re a runner (or runnah, as the locals say.) Check out the details of our 6 day, 5 night trip in April – getting there and finding beer! Parking – We used our normal vendor, US Park. This morning, the lot was very full and we had to wait about 20 minutes for shuttle pickup. That’s very unusual for them so hopefully it was a one time thing. Cheapskate tip – Visit Detroit Parking Coupons to save a little dough. They also offer veteran’s discounts and discounts for various businesses as well so be sure to…

Boston – The Search for Craft Beer, Lobster and Gelato
With our time quickly drawing to a close, we knew there were just a few more things we needed to find before we left – craft beer, lobster, our friend, Ron, and of course…gelato. I mean, if you’re STAYING in Little Italy and you DON’T have gelato, you could be breaking an important Boston law. The Quest before the Quest Before embarking on our ultimate quest, we had to take care of some things first. Pack up our room and stash our luggage Climb the 294 steps of the Bunker Hill Monument As you may remember from our tip on our first day, we discovered the Monument is closed for…
