So I got the last of the needed tickets for my upcoming trip today. I have already purchased airline tickets, and got the hotel in Boston and even the train ticket that will take me down to Baltimore (featuring "snack service!"). what i was lacking is the ticket to one of the hallmarks of traveling for me these last few years.

I got a ticket to the baseball game. Actually, not just any game, but to a Red-Sox vs Yankees game. The place was already sold out, even though it's a Monday Day game, but it's the Yankees, so apparently normal rules do not apply. From what I hear, these rivalry games are pretty insane, and this year...well, the teams are neck and neck.

Of course, I had to get the ticket on the secondary market, but the company's concierge service was pretty good in getting a ticket that wasn't as overpriced as those on Stub Hub.

I'll be up in the rafters, but that's good enough, and I'll get to take another stadium off the list. My sister and I may go to a game in Washington or in Philadelphia the next weekend as I've already been to Camden Yards in Baltimore. Still, none of those are on Yawkey Way. So far the oldest stadium I've been to is Wrigley Field in Chicago, so seeing the oldest should be a treat.

Now I need to start contacting LJers in the area to see what they are doing, and where to go in the city. Does anyone have a Project Runway viewing party?

On another note, Chris just worked a three day stint of about 40 hours, many in the middle of the night dismantling and reconstruction his company's server room. He came home pretty late last night, after being away all weekend. His company put him in a hotel for a couple of days. Luckily things seemed to go smoothly today, he said, but I can tell he's tired.

Now if we could get him a vacation as well. Unfortunately, when I'll be on the east coast, he may be making a business trip to New Jersey, but not somewhere were we could meet up, I don't think. We'll have to see.

It's fairly easy to get from the airport to your hotel.

I checked the address of your hotel. Just take the Silver Line from the Airport to South Station, (fare = $1.25), then you will be about a 10 - 15 minute walk from South Station. There are lights to get you across the major roadways, and once you're on Federal Street you take a left onto Franklin Street, go 1 short block on Franklin Street, then right onto Devonshire Street. Also, you are not far at all from the Alley Bar, which is the Bear bar in Boston, (every Saturday night is Bear night!)
