Ok I am going to Boston in about 4 weeks. I will be there for 2 weeks and I need some ideas on what to do? I am going to a few Red Sox games but out side of that I need some ideas.

Thanks

Bring lots of money. Last time I was in Boston it was pretty expensive, and I stayed at a relatives house in Framingham.

Take several firearms with you. I understand that the Kennedy's have really preserved our rights and freedoms in that state.

ok, lemmie give you "The List"


1. Boston Common and the Public Gardens

2. Boston Harbor - you can take booze cruise or dinne cruise, there's also fishing and whale watching tours

3. New England Aquarium, located right next door to the harbor and all those great cruises

4. Faneuil Hall- it's right across from the harbor and aquarium, lots of shops,pushcarts and outdoor cafe's

5. North End- Mike's for italian pastries, I recommend the rum cake and cannolies

6. you'll wanna head over to Charlestown and take a tour of old ironsides and Paul Revere's house

Go see harvard yard and MIT. If you were coming in September you could visit me. That's something that should be on everyone's Boston "to do" list. ;)

Museum of science and the Omni theater are pretty nice to hit as well. Kittery ME and outlet shopping is probably 80-90 minutes outside the city (if you're into that sort of thing).

What no mention of the duck boats?




All depends on how old you are and what you enjoy doing.

Yeah I was talking about the land/sea duck boats and not the swan boats.
