Boston to Toronto and looking ahead

As the Porter airlines flight to Toronto did not leave until 3.20pm, we decided to use public transport to get to Boston International Airport. There ended up being three legs to the journey.

The first leg was a street car (tram) that initially travelled at street level before entering the subway system.  The second leg required a change to another line in the subway and we travelled by train to another line where we hopped on a bus that initially was on a designated road tunnel.

The 'funny' thing was that it only cost us $1 each for the whole journey. Despite telling the first driver that we weren't seniors, she still charged us senior fares. They quite often ask if we are seniors but i always say no as the age for a senior concession in the US is 61 or 62.

The next 'funny' thing was at the airport in Boston at security. People were removing belts and shoes and Heather enquired that we needed to do this. The lady checked our passports and said yes. It seems that you have to be 75 or older to skip the queue. So they think we're 75ish???

Got to Toronto to be collected by Morgan. Great to see him after such a long time. His apartment is in Liberty Village which is near the lake. A lot of redevelopment in this area and lots of high rise towers, such as Morgan's apartment block.

He gave us a quick tour of the city the next day. Being Good Friday the roads were nice and quiet.

We're quite happy to take it easy here after the past three weeks of travelling.

The next leg of our trip is to Cuba on the 24th where we have accommodation booked in Havana for the first three nights. After that we want to go to Vinales in the west and Trinidad in the south. Once in Havana we need to work out how best to get to those places.

Accommodation is booked in the Cayman Islands. Then it'll be off to Jamaica where we have three nights booked in Kingston. Today I booked the following four nights in Ocho Rios on the north coast and from there we have to head towards Montago Bay. Booked into Negril for 4 nights and then Mo Bay for 2 nights.

We've also booked flights from Toronto to Hawaii and Hawaii to Melbourne, as well as accommodation in Waikiki.

Home on June 1 so Heather can go to work on June 2. Lol

I don't think there's many internet opportunities in Cuba so the blog is likely to be short of updates until May 4.
