Just recently I decided to take a solo trip to Boston. I have been meaning to visit a good friend of mine from college that is now residing there, and another friend (also from college) who is originally from there and was visiting home herself from L.A. It's funny because when you go away to college, you spend so much time with the friends you make, they become your new family. Then graduation comes along, and you hardly see the people you have gotten use to seeing every single day of your life for 4 years. Getting tired of New York, and wanting to travel a bit before starting school again, Boston was absolutely the best way to kick off summer with a quick get-away. It was a wonderful trip of blissful memories with some of my fave old college buds.
The city itself is just like New York, but smaller and cleaner, with a very simple and easy subway system to get around, (the T). I remember the first time I went to Boston, it was after my junior year of college, and I fell in love with it so much. I told myself, "Wow, if I would have knew that this is what Boston is like, I would have came here for college instead." Being a city girl myself, I knew I wanted to stay near NYC because I didn't think I would survive anywhere else. But after being to Boston a few times, I know I could have definately survived out there. The only problem would have been the 5 hour commute back home on Holidays, and all the nasty Red Sox fans (as a Yankee fan, I don't go overboard like they do!) However, I do love that city. Everytime I'm there I'm never ready to come back home.
