A Long Day Of Travel
Last night (Sunday night) we drove from Naragansette back up to Boston so we could catch our 9am flights. I had booked a hotel in a Boston suburb that was only 2.6 miles from the airport…it took a while, but we finally found our hotel. It was smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood! I have to wonder, are things just different on the East Coast or is it that we just don’t pay that much attention to things when we’re at home!? After crawling into bed shortly after 2am we started our Monday at 6am with a wake up call and 2 alarms going off. We were out of our hotel by 6:30 and on our way to return our rental car. We were even able to squeeze in 2 minutes to drive by the beach just in time to see the sun rising over the water. It...

Well, today was the day that Aaron and Tina tied the knot. We spent the morning taking Aaron to breakfast then relaxing in the hotel room. It was a fairly uneventful morning until around 12:30 when we had to get 5 people ready for a wedding in a hotel room with 1 bathroom. Not an easy feat. The wedding went off with only a couple hitches; nothing major. We all ate, drank and danced the night away to celebrate their wedding. At 10:30 we headed back to Boston for 5 hours of sleep in an old apartment complex turned hotel out in the middle of knowhere in East Boston. 5 hours of sleep, 1 crazy shuttle ride, checked bags and security and we are sitting comfortably waiting for our flight to London.

Ello! I’m exhausted and it is almost 3:00am here in Rhode Island, but damn it, I’m determined to get something down, I can’t stop blogging two nights into this adventure. The PLAN for the day: Wake up at 8:30am, finish walking the remainder of the Freedom Trail, have some breakfast in Boston, head back to the room, make our way down to R.I., pick up the tuxedos for tomorrow, check into the hotel, leisurely head over to the rehearsal with time to spare. The ACTUAL day: Reluctantly crawl out of bed around 11:00am, take showers and pack up, sit in traffic in the Boston area for over an hour, eat a Taco Bell brunch on the road, drive another hour to the wedding town, barely make it to R.I. with enough time to pick up the tuxedos, abandon the plan...

Hi Everyone, Wow, what a day we had today. As stated in our earlier note we landed in Boston around 5:45 California time. We had very little sleep among the three of us but set out for a day in Boston on our own. Our first stop was a small cafe called Emerson’s to get coffee and breakfast. Nicole had an english muffin that was more bisquit than muffin and she thought it was delicious. Chet and I had bagel sandwiches and coffee. Acting like little kids Chet and I each ate half of the other’s sandwich so we could have a sausage sandwich and a ham sandwich. Chet’s sausage sandwich ruled the day! From here we went to a cemetery called Central Burying Grounds in Boston Commons, the oldest public park in the US. Boston Commons was made a public park...
Read MoreWe have arrived! (In Boston)
We landed in Boston around 5:45 California time this morning. Nicole made it through the entire flight without crying; what a trooper! Nicole didn’t sleep at all on the plane and I only slept about 2 hours. Chet; however, slept almost the entire trip and hit Boston with a hitch in his step. We have checked into our hotel, changed clothes and are about to leave for our day in Boston. The plan: 2.5 mile Freedom Trail, Boston Commons and Fenway Park. We’ll update with pictures later.

Ciao! Nicole here! This is my very first blog post EVER. I feel so high tech, yet so lost. It is currently Monday evening and instead of doing the un-fun stuff that needs to be done before we leave, I’m playing on here, simply for your enjoyment. I hope you’re enjoying this. You’re enjoying this, right? Well, now that I’ve confessed to not doing what I should be doing I’m feeling guilty and need to go do something “productive”. Hope you’ve enjoyed this first post and all that follow! Ciao for now!
