Jacqueline’s Jaunts

Liberty Clipper Cruise JTH Steps 10,003 This gives you an idea of the area we walked. Our hotel is in the red square at the bottom. We slept in this morning and it felt so good. I was a little sore from our walking tour yesterday. Showered and headed down for breakfast. After, we headed to the Boston Tea Party Exhibition across Fort Point Channel, just outside our hotel. We decided just to walk through the gift shop because the exhibit was geared toward kids. Great little shop. I only bought postcards. They didn't sell stamps but one block away was the post office. Pretty darn convenient! Made our little trek to get stamps and back to our room to drop off stuff.  Boston Tea Party Experience We headed down to Boston Harbor and walked along the water the whole way. Just so awesome to be able to enjoy this beautiful weather we are having in Boston. We have been told it's unusual but we will take it. We found the dock where we will be boarding the clipper ship and she was docked so...

Boston, Massachusetts Freedom  Trail Tour JTH Steps 19,760 Getting up this morning was difficult but we did it. Showers felt good and rejuvenating. Downstairs for  breakfast. Busy restaurant. You could tell it was the working crowd. The majority of the people looked like they were all in their thirties....or we are getting old. We both agreed we do not miss working. It was fascinating to watch the interactions. Called for an Uber and headed to Boston Commons. We went into the Visitor Center and asked where the Robert Gould Shaw memorial is. We were to meet our tour guide there. We headed up a slight incline, past a bunch of purple flags to the top of the hill. The flags were in memory of the amount of people who have died of opioid overdoses in Boston. When you see the amount of flags it hits your heart.  Small Purple Flags on the Boston Common. Each flag represents a person. Robert Shaw Memorial Found shade by the Robert Shaw memorial to wait for our tour guide. Read the...

Oakland International Airport to  Boston Logan Airport JTH Steps 5,478 We left this morning for an entire day of flying to Boston. Our flight left on time at 9:40 AM. We had 2 stops, Santa Barbara, California and Denver, Colorado, and not changing plans. All stops were on time and leaving each airport was on time. We arrived in Boston around 9:45 PM, bathroom stop and onto the baggage claim area. We went to the taxi area and climbed into a non-yellow taxi. Onto the Intercontinental Hotel. Checked in and the hotel restaurants were closed. One of the hosts that checked us in recommended we do Uber Eats. We ordered a chicken quesadilla and fries. It's funny we had to come all the way to Boston to order our first Uber Eats meal. But luck was on our side and we were able to use a $20 off coupon for our first Uber Eats order. Food arrived around midnight and the quesadilla was great but the the fries were soggy....oh well. We hit the hay about 20 minutes later. We have a walking tour tom...

06-13-22 Monday Westport Beach, CA Campsite #175 Jeeps in Parking Lot: 1 Drive Time: 4.5 hours Miles: 207 Arrived: 5:30 pm Barry Steps: 11,100 Jacqueline Steps: 10,227 We are spending the week in a Tsunami Zone. Back at Westport Beach for the week. We were here October of 2021. If you remember it rained the whole time. This week looks like we will have nice weather, mid 60’s and low 50’s at night. It was windy the whole drive here. It’s crazy windy now at the campground. Our site is closest to the beach. I booked this when we were here last year and was able to get it. Awesome site and we can see the beach from our coach or just sitting outside.  Barry got us all hooked up, I did all the indoor stuff and TRIED to lite the pilot light in the oven. It was being stubborn!! The minute Barry walked in I was able to light it. I don’t think it likes me but whatever! Lasagna for dinner tonight.  We plan on a fire tonight for s’mores, which means Barry had to drive to the store for fir...
