Saw him at TD Garden a couple months ago. He’s a funny guy, but I don’t think his material quite translates to the arena format. Also, bless him for having his dad open up for him, but it’s really not a good act. ...

A week in Ireland and a week in Greece. Then a week and a half split between Germany and Austria. Looking to spend 5-6 days in Portugal as well but that may get pushed to the fall. ...
I was just in Mexico City this past weekend, stayed in Roma Norte. It’s a great neighborhood. Get dinner at Rosetta one night, and get pastries at their pastry shop one morning as well. Highly recommend Quintonil if you can get a reservation. Pujol as well. Also grab drinks at Licorería Limant...

Unless you’re also flying with an au pair, why in the world would you want to do that?...

re: Honeymoon - Italy

Posted by AbitaFan08 on 4/21/24 at 11:12 am
I wouldn’t spend too much time in the larger, more touristy areas (Rome, Florence, CT) personally. My favorite part of Italy (that I’ve been to) is Emilia Romagna and Piedmont....

I’m currently on vacation but will come back to this thread when I get home and give some suggestions. My initial thought when I read your post was “where the hell is Copp’s Hill?” I had to google it to realize it’s the cemetery in the Common. Walked by it a thousand times but never knew the name...

That was a crazy day. I flew into Boston looking at apartments to move there. Because the city was locked down, they made us go straight from our gate to a cab, and the cabs could only bring us to our hotel. Once we got to the hotel they had security checking IDs to ensure you actually had a rese...
