I could probably still do it.

If its the best for everyone else, I'll make it work. I'll just go visit her another weekend.

Sonya where are we staying?

I know you've got some good places in mind.

I'm so excited to say "wicked cool" all weekend.

And I WILL overdo it!

Good question!

I have ideas. It's an expensive time of year (new yorkish)

What type of place do we want? What things are important location wise?

Near faneuil hall? That's quite lively? We could go up near Boston commons/ newbury street/Copley but I bet it's more expensive.

Looked at prices- yikes! Looking at 300'ish for most near fantail/Quincy.

Then remembered mid to end may is college graduation weekends.

rooms will be lots more expensive and secondly, they will be booked by parents In the very near future- so to get a group together we should firm commitment in the very near future and book rooms asap.

Hate to say it, maybe another month may be better?

I am still game for mid may in any case...

Maybe we could do something like a Residence Inn and squeeze lots of people in a room. These are 2 room suites with 2 queen beds and a sofa sleeper. I believe that they have free breakfast too. The Boston Harbor on Tudor Wharf is $309 per night. Although I have no idea where that is. We could try the Embassy Suites too.

I booked 2 rooms there - we could put 5 in each room if necessary. You'd really have a hard time with 2 on the sofa bed.

It's fairly convienent (it's around the corner from where we used to live) and is a nice hotel.

I'll keep looking too.

Ok, hotels I like and areas I like.

The residence inn in near the Constitution. It's on the other side of the Charles river from the North End (yummy Italian area - should definitely be our plan for one night's dinner). Not particularily central.

I love the Omni Parker House - it's just down from the Boston Common and up from Fanieul Hall/Filiene's Basement/cheaper shopping/china town. It's the most central I'd say to the stuff we'd likely be doing. ($279ish for 2 double beds). It's an old beautiful hotel.

Park Plaza is beautiful. Central in it's own way - across from Public Garden, near Newbury Street (shopping), Boston Common, Copely (shopping), restaurants - less historic/more "big city"/high fancy shopping ($269ish)

The subway is great in Boston so we could stay a bit outside of downtown (not my real preference but is possible).

There are tons more hotels obviously. We could look at boutique hotels on Charles Street or ... well, everything is there.

Since we have moved on to hotels, are we considering the 5/13-5/15 weekend the winner?  Works for me.  Here is the latest tally.

And not picky about hotels either!

LL- :( Hoping you'll somehow be able to make it!


I'm not picky about hotels either. I would like to be "close to the action" but that's only if it's feasible.

I asked Mike if he'd be ok with me going and got a resounding "of course!" so YAY!!! Glad that part of it is over with.

Now to jump back on the diet wagon so I don't get a whole lot of DROPJAWS when people see me LOL.

I can't not wait to have a black & tan in Boston with everyone!! And I'll finally get to meet so many girlies I've wanted to meet since forever!

I think the prices are going to be fairly similar right in town no matter what the weekend, don't you think, Sonya?

Its a pricey city pretty much year round unfortunately. I think the Res Inn idea would probably work best to make it more reasonable $$ wise.

 You don't think it's too far from central? It's a pretty easy walk across the bridge to the T but it is a little outside of the main areas.

I'd like to move this to a private section before we make a final hotel selection.

The internets are a scary place, you know.
