Day 3 summaries

Day 3 News:

Went to Newbury Street.  Correct spelling this time, thank
you.  Commuter rail to North Station, green line to
Arlington.  Top of stairs, ahead two blocks.  We made the
quick walk and headed straight for Armani.  Mmmm…. cashmire
everywhere.  Tried on an “unconstructed” sport coat that was over
$2500.  Wanted it, badly, but not that stupid.

(Sorry for the short sentences.  Very late, very very tired.)

Shopped for 6 hours straight on Newbury, took a cab to “Fan-y'all”, a
great center city Boston attraction.  Met ChianHwa, Jason's wife
and saw her (goregous) offices.  Took a 10 minute walk to the
North End and ate fab Italian at Il Panino.  I had the filet
migion and Tammy had a veal house special.  Both were easily the
best we'd had–no exaggeration.  Went around the corner to Mike's
Pastry (feat. on Food Network) and bought Tiramisu, canoli (sp.) and an
apple “thingy”.  All were good.

Headed for bead.  I'll be blogging during the day as the
conference unfolds.  I'll be hitting it hard for another 15 hours,
this time as a blogger-geek.

ShareBlogs by Joe is dead.

Joe:  I wanted to play with ShareBlogs, but ran out of time each
day with family life and BloggerCon approaching.  I liked the idea
but I never had a chance to give back.  I over-committed and under
delivered.   For that, I'm sorry.

Day 3 — Day before BloggerCon

-Jason and ChianHwa (our hosts) have a beautiful home in Boxboro.  I got a whirlwind tour from Jason this morning, showing me the way to the commuter rail station and some of the sights and places.  We'll take the train into Boston, hop on the subway and take it to Arlington station, our first stop, and head to Newberry Street to unload some cash on the Boston economy.

Got a lunch suggestion?  Call me on my cell at 417-619-1529.

 

We made it.

Hello from cold Boxboro, MA.  We made it without issue, although it could have been shorter and we'd be happy.  We made a side trip to Niagra Falls–photos and movies will follow later.  We'll be spending our Friday in Boston, shopping on Newberry Street.  Sleeping now, more tomorrow for sure.

Safe in Cleveland

In Willoughby, OH on the east side of Cleveland staying at a Courtyard Marriott. Total road time: about 12 hours. Miles: just past 800. Tired. Will write more in the morning. We are safe and headed for bead

Update from Indianapolis

We've made it as far as Indianapolis. We pulled into the downtown area and up to the front door of the Nordstrom's at 2PM — perfect timing. At this rate, we hope to make Erie, PA tonight. Anyone have a suggestion on where to eat in Erie?
