This is a picture of the subway system (Green Line) that we used to get around town while in Boston. There's nothing too exciting about it, but it did take a little getting used in terms of where the stops were that we needed and how to know which line to take. The key thing to remember was Inbound meant going into the city (downtown) and Outbound meant going out of the city.
As I eluded to in my last blog, it took Eric and I almost 2 hours from landing to check in despite our "home" only being a few miles away from the airport. Some of this had to do with getting my suitcase, which I checked (I think it was just over the carry-on size), but the main problem was that we got off the subway a little before we should have and therefore wound up walking farther than we needed to. We also started walking in the wrong direction initially, so that set us back a little too.
Fortunately, we had maps with us and were able to correct our missteps quickly. We became very familiar with T, as the subway is called there, and how to get where we needed to go. It was a very convenient transportation system. I can see why it is so widely used. Too bad LA doesn't know how to make something like this work. Then again, LA is very spread out compared to Boston which only seems to be a few square miles.
Next up: our first sightseeing
On another note, Courtney had her first audition today! Traci blogged about it, so you can check it out at her blog via the link on the left side of this page (Traci's Treasures).
