CLASSIC ROCK DUDE!!! Boston a classic roack banned, famed for the creation and introduction of "power Pop" was formed in the early 1970's. Popular and in the limelight from 1976-1986.. this unique band has mad many multi platinum albums.

...took his own life. But they strived on and can be seen touring, doing the songs that were made popular as much as 32 years ago. Some of their most popular songs were More than a feeling, Don't look back and the popular ballad AMANDA. Classic Rock groups have formed the way music is heard and made today and you can't forget BOSTON. Though not a mega group like some of their day, their staying power and fan base of today, attribute to their talent ... Read review

Advantages Historic, culturally diverse and not too huge a city.
Disadvantages Not many, unless you don't like cities, or America, or fish.

...OK. Here’s a quiz question: What is the least friendly place on Earth? Is it: A) Downtown Novosibirsk on a Wednesday morning in February? B) A pub outside Ibrox when Celtic have just whupped Rangers...and you’re wearing a green scarf? C) Platform 3 at King’s Cross Station, four minutes after you miss your last train home...and your credit cards are maxed...and you’ve got no money...and you’re a little bit pissed, but not pissed enough to sleep on a bench? D) None of the above? The answer, of course, is D...none of the above, because without a shadow of a doubt the least friendly spot on the face of our planet is Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Sorry Boston. Lovely city, great people, very nasty airport. Very. More later. Boston in October, when the sun is shining, the Redsox are playing... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages Extremely efficient front desk, ideal location for power shopping and sightseeing
Disadvantages No ghosts, a/c leaked, staying at Marriott can lead to telephone solicitation later

...is to secure the facilities with an adequate block of hotel rooms for its members who are traveling from out of town. The 62nd installment of Worldcon (aka Noreascon 4) was held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston in September 2004. Earlier in the year, our convention committee presented a choice of two hotels, Sheraton Boston and Marriott Copley Place. Before booking, I dashed an email off to the concom, asking whether either of them was haunted. I hit the jackpot at the Royal York in Toronto the previous year, maybe I would this one as well. I was told neither had ghosts. It was discouraging, but when attending a Worldcon, staying at one of its hotels is part of the atmosphere. By the time I acquired that info, the party hotel had been fully booked. I took a room at the Marriott. Big chains hotels usually bore me, but I have never... Read review

Advantages: good basketball
Disadvantages: none

...I like the way Boston Celtics played in the NBA finals last season. Not surprising that they have surpassed LA Lakers to bag the championship. Paul Pierce had played a very inspirational game. He brought leadership and experience. He was the go to guy for the team. He scores whenever they needed it most. Kevin Garnet gave the team a major advantage because of his hunger in winning a championship. I saw him really emotional after they were proclaimed champions already. Since he hasn't got the most prestigious reward yet for all the years he stayed in NBA and that's winning a first place trophy. I salute all the other Celtics players in the likes of Ray Allen and Sam Cassell who really strive harder to support the team. They won because they worked as a team.... Read review

...Celtic Pride The Boston Celtics are a professional basketball franchise of the National Basketball Association. They are in the Atlantic division, playing their games in the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Massachussetts. This Celtic team won the NBA championship last year and they go into the current season as defending world champions. The had home court advantage throughout the playoffs due to their impressive 66-16 record in the regular season. The home court advantage did help them in the playoffs as they had to go the distant seven games with Atlanta & Cleveland and six with Detroit. They beat the Lakers in six games also to become World champions for the first time since 1986. The set of key individuals who got the Celtic pride back includes their VP of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge. He was in that great 1986... Read review
