Getting TO/AROUND: One of the best things about a metropolitan city is its network of public transporation. With the oldest subway system in the country, you can't go wrong riding the "T". The "T" is a great way to get around Boston. The subway consists of four lines - Green, Orange, Blue, Red and all togehter covers most of the city and the immediate suburbs. Living in a city like New York, I am use to riding the public transportation and find the "T" to be efficient and easy to navigate. One thing though, the "T" stops running after 12:30 at some stations and up to 1:30 am you may be able to get on. Make sure to know you designation, your line and the time schedule (although a bit off).

Getting TO/AROUND: The Duck Tours offer guided tours of Boston and "what makes Boston the birthplace of freedom and the city of firsts". The lines were pretty long to get on one of these and I did notice that the majority of the people waiting to get on the tour were families with small children, young teens and some older folks. It is a bit pricey, but if you have a limited time to see Boston, why not? Prices are $26 per adult, $23 for students/seniors, and $17 for children between the ages of 3-11. Me, nah, I didn't (and probably wouldn't) get on one of these. Espeically in a city like Boston, a walkable city.

Getting TO/AROUND: Around Boston you will find may taxi's. We parked our car at an inexpensive parking garage (more on that later) and taxi'd our way around town. The taxis are pretty inexpensive and fast and easy to get around town, especially if you are getting ready to go out for dinner or a night out on the town. A girl can only walk so much, especially if she is walking around the city in "4 inch heels" (wink)...

Getting TO/AROUND: I am not sure why everyone says not to drive in Boston, but it isn't any different than driving around any large city. Just like New York City, Boston has its share of traffic congestions and problems finding a place to park. We drove from New York City to Boston and found navigating the city in a car easy. Maybe because Roni hails from Boston, or because we live in NYC, this wasn't so bad. One word of caution though, the parking can be a bit tricky and you just may wind up paying a bomb to park for just a few hours. We drove to Summerville, parked and then took the "T" in town a few times. We also drove straight into the city and found a really inexpensive place to park (more later).
