Arrived!
16:20 - Boston - Michael & Benji
Having endured our only slightly delayed seven hour flight, much enlivened by a bet about the 0-60 speed of the aircraft which was settled by sending the very friendly Virgin air hostess to question the captain and copilot (15.72, they old us...Zihao won), we arrived in Boston to beautiful weather.
We checked into our hostel, a scruffy and 1930s decorated house in the rather seedy Koreatown area of Boston, run by a fairly entertaining American guy.
Much of our time so far has been spent attempting to find the best quote for renting cars for the rest of our trip. Much haggling and negotiaton has occured. As we write, we're in a classic greasy cafe about to
seal the deal on two Ford Escapes, after finding a company who are waiving the young driver surcharge as a summer deal.
Tonight we're heading out for our first true American meal - a steak in the centre of Boston.
Tomorrow we'll be catching up on tourism in Boston, including visiting Harvard, and Friday we'll head out towards New York, visting Walmart along the way!
