Lots of stairs.  Luggage.  A guy who just got off the redeye AND the connecting flight.  Did I mention that it&#8217;s raining here?  Priceless.<br \/>\nFrom BOS, you take a shuttle basi for 10 minutes or so to the T station.  There, there was a Massachusetts State Trooper on station.  He was armed with an MP5 with a flash suppressor.   Serious stuff, so I declined to take a snap.<br \/>\nI took the Blue Line and transferred to the Green Line.  The hostel is across the street and down 1\/2 block from Kenmore station so it was convenient.  And even though check in is at 12 noon, I looked soo knackered that the desk staff found me a room that was ready to go.  Nice lah!<br \/>\nThe flight in was uneventful.  I was actually upgraded!   Waaaaaah!   So I sat in my big seat, had a cuppa coffee and promptly passed out for the duration of the 1.2 hour flight.  So if there WAS anything that happened, I missed it.<br \/>\nI did notice something about people here in Boston.  They are FAT.  Really fat.  As in unhealthy fat.   It&#8217;s got to do with how they eat.  Example: back home, regular coffee means black.  Here, it&#8217;s tons of cream and sugar.  Yeech.<br \/>\nTime for a shower.  Got 7+ hours of plane and train on me.  Yeech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally made it to the hostel where you can actually see Fenway Park from my window facing Comm Ave. That&#8217;s the park in the middle.
