I made it to Boston, and I'm now safely ensconced in the Sheraton, my home for the next 6 days. I spent today doing something of a hike around Boston (in the order of 5 miles, according to the rough approximation I did on Google Maps Pedometer). On my previous visits here I never had the opportunity to stray out of Cambridge and the immediate vicinity of MIT. I have to say, so far I'm impressed - there's lots of small, interesting shops and a great selection of restaurants. The theatre district looked lively too.
The flight was mostly uneventful, apart from the hideous check in queues (1hr30 of standing in line - shame on you, American Airlines). I also need to offer profuse apologies to the poor woman I was sitting next to on the plane. I made the mistake of watching Crank during the flight, and it wasn't just entertaining, it was laugh-out-loud funny. I can only imagine how annoying it was sitting next to some guy randomly chuckling every five minutes whilst clutching a PSP.
The jetlag is doing wicked evil things to me now (or maybe it's a stomach full of excellent steak and excellent beer), so I think it's time to succumb.
