Advantages: Excellent dollar rate, laid back city Disadvantages: Spent too much shopping and did not get to see the famous New England Fall trees!
About a month ago now, my partner Paul and l headed off for a short break to Boston, Massachusetts, from 2nd December until 7th December.
We flew from Belfast City airport with BMI – at a cost of around £80 per person return, flying on to from London Heathrow with United Airlines to Washington Dulles then to Boston’s Logan International airport. This cost approximately £550 for 2 adults.
Now we flew with United for one simple reason – United are Star Alliance members – we could have flown direct to Boston with the likes of British Airways or Virgin Atlantic – but we would not have gained air miles and membership miles (l know its sad!)
The overall flight took from 8.55am and we arrived into Boston around 2pm (-5 GMT). So it was just over 10 hours – a direct flight would take over 7 hours ...

Advantages: Comfortable, clean, good location Disadvantages: Prices during the week
I like my home comforts when I am travelling abroad, but Mr Tart is quite happy to stay in any old hostel. We were looking for somewhere to stay on a trip to Boston and had decided that a guest house would be a happy medium. However, they weren?t that cheap and when I had a look on Expedia and found a Hilton for less money I couldn?t believe my luck!
LOCATION:
This Hilton is located in Boston?s Financial District. It is at 89 Broad Street. Despite it being in the Financial District we found it very easy to walk from the hotel to the main tourist sites of the city. Quincy Market and the Old State House were only 10 minutes walk away.
PRICES:
The price of this particular hotel seems to vary a lot depending on when you stay and who you book through. As the hotel is in the Financial District it puts up a lot of business ...
Advantages: Historic, culturally diverse and not too huge a city. Disadvantages: Not many, unless you don't like cities, or America, or fish.
can turn a corner with 40-floor towers at your shoulder and come face-to-facia with something fetching in red brick and Georgian design. Not unlike the City of London in some ways.
A perfect example of this is the Old State House, which is located pretty much in the heart of downtown Boston. It was from here that the Declaration of Independence was given its first public airing, and it was at the heart of the whole damned Boston Tea Party fandango. (No music, no dancing, no drink...not even tea! What kind of party IS this?) It was originally built in 1657, with rebuilds in 1711 and 1747. Pretty nice building all round. Visit it!
From Copley Square, where my hotel was located, there?s a fair choice of directions to start off your exploration of Boston.
You can head for the River, down Dartmouth Street, which will take you through ...
