Lots of fun things to do here, depends on what you're looking for. If you want to do some shopping, head to Newbury Street or Downtown Crossing. The North End is good for eating; it's the Italian section. Many Moroccans hang out at the Caffe Paradiso there if you're interested in checking it out. You might bump into Wadi! Many tourists do the "Duck Tour". It's one of those trucks that becomes a boat and tours Boston and the Charles River. I've never done it, but I've heard it's fun, and a good way to see where the interesting sites are.

Have a fantastic time!

If youve never been to Boston I really think you should go to Fanuel Hall and check out all the food and shops in there. Also check out the Prudential Center and the top of the Pru for a skyview tour of Boston. You could even take a tour still of Fenway Park I think!

darker red is bad, yellow is good. orange is in the middle.

According to that map I am in the Yellow..YAY! Guess I should still ask about it.

Don't you just love the way Cherry County sticks out like a sore thumb?

I seen that..the biggest county with the least population in Nebraska.

I took my husband through the Sandhills there and told him..Look Jordan..

No wonder he likes cruising highway 83 North nothing but Sandhills and if you look really quick

you might see a little village.

I took the day off today and I'm supposed to be cleaning the house. But I'm not.

Just put these guys to work and go out and fun.

Good stuff!

One more thing. If you guys are into art museums, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is one of the best I've been to.

Great idea! I may be stealing that one soon. What's that number anyways?

I found a way to solve one my problems and reduce my stress level. I "casually" emailed Moh the phone number to DOS and said it was "just in case he had a question and didn't want to wait for me to call them". He called them twice yesterday. WALLA! He can make them crazy now and not me. Whee... I win!

and you need your case #

I have called 3 times today. Everytime I call the same lady answers, which happens to be the one I don't like.

Trust me, Mohammed will exact a sweet revenge for all of us who have been utterly miserable with the whole DOS experience. He is SO inquisitive, asking and re-asking and asking again over and over until you want to scream, that I'm sure he will become notorious there in a very short amount of time. Maybe all the "visa specialists" will call Cairo and beg then to hurry the visa through so "this guy" stops calling them.

Oh does Mohammed call them? They really are a pain, I write down their names when I call and put starts next to the ones I like.

He called twice yesterday....

There is one lady I talk to that always remembers me. She said it's because my fiance's photo is in the screen so she can't forget a face.

[Together4ever 1]

I'm feeling guilty that unleashed the leviathan on them. I really am. I bet he called again today.

Tell him if he talks to Suha, to give her hell.

I called my ex and told him since he is in construction and he used a term I've never heard before "cluster fk". I think that's going to be my "word of the day".

The polite way to say that so you can get away with it on a board is "fuster cluck". Everybody knows what it means even though it's backwards. Yeah, it sounds like he did a good one. I hope he gets it airtight for you before he leaves. Open spots are no fun in bad weather.

Many thanks Ladies... as always very helpful...I am so excited about this trip...we are renting a car and driving up tomorrow evening. There is so much to see and to do there... I guess we are on the roll, exploring US ...it will be first trip for both of us...For me it is a shame to admit that I got about 16 yrs in US and still haven't seen anything yet....I am so fortunate to have a great husband like Jamal who enjoys travel as much as I do...Well, let me get my plan for the trip and prepare for tomorrow's feast...Once again thank you so much for your suggestions and responses...

Love

Dorothy

HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
