AWESOME trip and journal - thanks for posting. I lived in Boston for a few years and loved it.. and really miss it. I can't believe how MUCH you did in one day!! I would have gotten sick too.. as for getting lost in the Bronx, well, that's just a rite of passage for anyone driving up and down the east coast (ESPECIALLY heading south. I make the drive all the time and every now and again STILL miss an exit and end up wandering through the Bronx).

I spend a couple days in Savannah on a road trip last year and loved the city. I also made a visit to Seattle and Chicago recently as well! I wasn't blogging as much back then though.. :-(

Anyhow, great trip! Glad you had a good time.
