So with my new position at Expedient I have been getting to do a good bit of traveling. I have been doing the back and forth thing to Cleveland. Then spent some time in Richmond last week. All have been great, meals on the company that type of deal.
Finally hit the jackpot on trips though! I am heading to a meeting in Boston with EMC. Check out the hotel they put us in! [http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/BostonCommon/Default.htm](http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/BostonCommon/Default.htm)
500 bones a night! All on someone elses dime! i love it!
Since i was supposed to go up Wednesday and Thursday come home Friday I just decided to extend that trip to leave on Sunday. So I essentially got a free work/vacation trip to Boston… woohoo!
Anyone have any recommendations on what to do in Boston? i definitely want to try to catch a Red Sox game!

I walked the freedom trail. Pretty cool. You can get maps at the Boston Commons. If you are in no hurry, buy a tour bus pass. It’s like $20 and you can use it for 24 hours. Then you can do sightseeing as you go place to place.
Go see Old Ironside, too, the oldest commissioned ship in the Navy. Check out the poop deck. 🤣
Cheers kinda sucks cause only the steps look the same as the show. At the bottom of the steps is a hostess station.

Take it from somene who used to live in that area. . . Quincy Market, USS Constitution, anything on the Harbor (HAAAAbAAA), Walk around and take pictures of the architecture… That city has got a lot older shit than here in Pitttsburgh. Don’t get offended if people don’t give a shit if you exist- thats New England!
