    Getting TO/AROUND: Several of the Boston hotels operate complimentary airport shuttle buses which pick up from all the terminals and the airport T station. Within the airport itself there are also several shuttle services run by the airport itself to ferry people between the terminals, the T and the harbour ferries. Add to this all the car park and car hire shuttles, throw in a few hundred taxis plus the various privately run shuttles and the result is total chaos!!!!

    The ring road around the terminals is all subterranean, is 3 lanes wide, and on both occasions when I have used Logan it has been total madness. The buses and shuttles will be triple-parked, the taxis trying to weave their way through, the odd private car attempting to drop people off will be greeted with loud blasts of the horn. The local State Police, sirens and lights whooping and flashing, seem to be responsible for moving on any unauthorised vehicles which adds further to the confusion.

    And here I am looking out for my shuttle but not knowing what it is going to look like - no wonder the person in the pic is scratching her head!!!!

     Interesting and amusing to read about your stop over in Boston - an excellent page, John!

     We'll probably be getting a car (although I understand that parking is nuts) because we'll be heading to Wilmington on Sunday night. St. Patty's day in Boston! Sounds pretty wild.
