Quickie! Who's up for a Boston Mini-Gathering?

[brianc]

Why?? well I just got an offer for a job in Billerica. I'm going to take it. and it looks as if I'll be starting mid July. I'll hate to leave New Mexico but it's a good job.

Nat, you'll have to give me some pointers on dealing with the loss of the sunsets.

Well, this is what I found out:

The Bad: The John Hancock Observatory has indeed been closed because of security concerns.

The Good: A block over, we can go to the Boston Skywalk Observatory in the Prudential Building. It's $7 per person, 360 degree views from 700 feet(50th floor?)above the Back Bay, open 10am to 10pm.

The Bad: Mass Bay Lines only go to Provincetown.

The Good: Boston Harbor Cruises offer 45min and 90min tours of the inner and outer harbors. Prices range from $12 to $18 plus 5-7% convention center tax. I believe they depart from Long Wharf (next to the Aquarium) 11am 1pm and 3pm.

See ya, -dave

Awesome info! and they both sound great...choosing between a 45 minute and a 90 minut I'll always vote for the shortwer but if it's longer I'll try to hold my cookies as long as possible...

get ready for the shock that will run through your body! (you never recover from the loss of sunsets --it's been 7 years now for me and you just simply migrate back every year or two at a minimum)

And get ready for some TERRIBLE driving. New York has great driving by comparison... but Glad to have you in MA and feel free to get in touch with us when you come our house is always open to hungry travelers and new settlers


That's cool that you found a job that fits more of the needs you were looking for---if I remember correctly you were going thru a bit of a struggle deciding some stuff out a few months back... what are you going to be doing in your new job placement.

$12.00 per person and $9 for kids

or the regular one is fine.... as well though this might provide for some interesting photos...

[stew]

can i get pictures of you hurling? and can i post them??

well, the sight doesn't give much info. at first, in a burst of irrational excitement, i thought that we might - just might - be going out on the Constitution for 45 minutes. LOL. but then my sanity prevailed. anyway, could be fun. i haven't "explored the historic inner harbor" before.

[natatbeach]

I thought it was a guided cruise ON the Constitution...atleast that's how I took it...

as far as gross pics Paul took a pic of me (pretending) to pick my nose (but didn't post it) but if I do blow---it's all you man. Anything special I should eat fro breakfast to intensify the experience for ya
