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: 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: Portability, quality, style, etc etc! Love It. Disadvantages: Battery does make unit tilt backwards a bit (but not really a negative!)
I have owned this fantastic netbook for 9 months now and I take it with me everywhere. I absolutely love it! I bought it solely for internet access as I like the odd bet when I'm out and about (!) so I can only really comment on this type of usage. Where shall I begin. Well the NC10 looks gorgeous, mine is the glossy black colour and it opens up to a more than generous keyboard which is brilliant for those emails and the keys are perfectly responsive. Then there is the large 10" screen with fabulous brightness and clarity. Perfect size. Bought a nice protective pouch to keep the unit in and then just pick up and go! Battery life is outstanding. I get easily six hours internet access on one charge. The other great point is that the NC10 only takes a minute to boot up and then you're online! BRILLIANT product. LOVE IT! My favourite ...
