But there's SOOOO much to do in Boston, from full bore history lesson to screw the history, let's party! and everything in between. Throw in a side trip to the Maine coast for a few days, and you've got the trip of a lifetime. Kennepunkport if you're classy, Old Orchard Beach if you're not! Needless to say, I liked OOB better  |
Pardon the crash, but I am so excited for y'all to have convention in Boston! It truly is such a wonderful city, except for the driving which DubaiSis mentioned. My one bit of advice is CHECK THE TRAFFIC REPORT before you drive anywhere. Driving can be a horrific snarl if you don't plan ahead, and if the Red Sox are playing it will be even worse (unless you want to see a game, of course
). The T (local train line) is cheap and convenient in my experience, and it can save you a lot of driving time and confusion if you're staying within the city limits.
Also, shoutout to southern Maine! Old Orchard Beach is gorgeous, and anyone who goes up to Maine will be obligated to get something with local blueberries in it because the blueberries are absolutely delicious. If you've ever wanted to try some real New England lobstah this will be your chance. I could wax about southern Maine for days because my grandparents have lived there my whole life, but I'll pipe down now
Can't wait to hear back on how it goes.
