Basically, I achieved GLD through the challenge, and I decided to go for PLT. In retrospect, I decided to reward myself with the accomplishment by going on a one night trip to Boston in the fall. Well that, and Cirque du Soleil's Corteo (at Suffolk's Down, close to the airport!) will be in town when I go there.

I've never "really" travelled by myself to a place I didn't know (most of my trips were places I was familiar with, had friends' places to stay over and pick me up) so I am a bit nervous. At the same time, I am excited as this will help me prepare for my planned trip to Athens, Greece next year.

So for all Ft'ers out there, I want to know what Boston is like, and where else I should go if I have the time. Any suggestions?

Oh, and I carefully planned to use Alamo to obtain miles, signed up with rewardsnetwork to book a hotel in Woburn to obtain miles there, and checked which restaurants are nearby to get miles there as well!
