Boston travel day



This is a little out of order, but I wanted to comment on our travel day through Boston.We all got up rather early for quite a journey. The group met at the Pittsburgh airport at 5:30 a.m. for a 7:00 flight to Boston. Everything was on time. When we arrived in Boston a little after 9:00, we checked into the Airport Hilton at Logan to store all of our belongings while we walked around Boston all day. Our flight to Shannon did not take off until 7:15 p.m. (!)It turned out to be a lot of fun. We tooled around Boston in two groups. Everyone saw at least a bit of the Freedom Trail before it rained cats and dogs. Then, for lunch we had reservations at the famous Kingfish Hall in Faneuil Hall right in the heart of the financial district in Boston. Fantastic food.We had a chance to clean up a bit before we had to check in at ticketing. While we were tired, it turned out to be a good experience.
