The city.

Well…I trusted Scinju with the reservation – and he didn’t screw it up! haha COMPLETELY just kidding, but this hotel is fantastic!!

Well, I’ve safely made it to my city home.  It’s nice to be back in a place that is so new yet so familiar at the same time.  Often times, people ask me why I love this city so much.  I really couldn’t even put a singular finger on it. It may be the culture.  It may be the people.  It may be how it’s a city that is big but not too big.  It may be the random people who will still go out of their way to help you, even though they’ve got their own things going on.  There are so many things about Boston that I really, truly appreciate.  So happy to be in Boston for the weekend!

 

And, as a note on this mornings events, one thing I’ve realized – is that travelling thorugh an airport with a wheelchair may seem additionally daunting, but it’s actually quite ease-making.  This was my first time flying Delta airlines – and my flight went amazingly well.  When you know what your’e doing, the staff are extremely helpful, breeze you through security, and through boarding.  Otherwise, getting through security and onto a plane – especially when you can’t walk – can be very difficult.  I’ve realized that if you are nice to the flight staff and crew, then they will be as accommodating as possible for you.  I’m grateful for a Mom who taught me how to get through airports efficiently due to her own share of traveling!

So, our schedule for the weekend is a little all over the place, but until everyone else arrives, my day is going to begin with a few meetings at Northeastern University ahead of tonight’s Millennium Campus Conference 2013, before a “Stranger” Dinner in the city – which I just realized I happened to book less than a block away from the hotel that Scinju booked. *SCORE* I’m excited to meet some Boston locals and chat with them about what it’s like to live in the city.

Stay tuned!

A beautiful shot of my view of the city for the next two days. A bit of a cloudy day, but beautiful fall trees in the Boston Common, nonetheless.
