We followed this blogger on his trip to New York, and now we are going to follow him to Boston – 5 days in Boston and a week-long Holland America New England cruise.
Cost of Boston trip – October/2016 - Airfare $213 (used mileage) - XV Beacon Hotel (5 nights) $2266.10 - Cost of Cruise from Boston to Montreal - $2364 American dollars.
On Monday, I took a flight from Jacksonville and got
into Logan Airport about 7 pm. I met my
travelling companion at the airport – this is the same solo traveler that I met
in New York. We
both had our own hotel room, and each paid for meals. We split cabs and tips – it is nice to have a
companion in Boston.
We took a cab to the hotel ($30) and in Boston, you
go under the water driving in from the Airport through the Big Dig Tunnel.
We stayed at the XV Beacon Hotel, right
downtown. The hotel was located on a one-way street,
which made getting in and out of cars easier.
It was good weather in Boston – very nice for the 5 days, even though
Hurricane Matthew was blowing down south.
At about 9 that night, we went right across the
street to Emmet’s Irish Pub. The Pub was not busy - I had bangers and mash
with bone marrow with a beer ($25) - a
very nice historical pub.
