Well, we are back home from our trip, laundry done and sewing machine retrieved from the shop where it spent my vacation getting a repair (can you believe it let my finish the vital work before stopping on me!) So I am reporting in on our day in Boston...all your suggestions worked well. We took the Blue line from Wonderland station with no trouble at all. The tour was great and when we were worn out, we took the water taxi from the Constitution to the Aquarium and grabbed the Blue line back to our car...all in all a wonderful day! That was just one day..also Flume Gorge in New Hampshire, Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, Portsmouth, ocean sail out of Perkins Cove, ME to say nothing of sleeping with our windows open to the sound of the surf and waking up to the fabulous sunrise over the shore out those windows! First real vacation we have taken in YEARS and it was fabo!!
