As the caretakers of Walkabout Chronicles, we practice what we preach: We make a point of getting out to experience a journey as often as possible. Recently, we found the time and opportunity to spend three days in Boston Massachusetts and we wanted to share some of those experiences with you. 

Heading into a walkabout like this takes just the right combination of pre-planning and a fair dose of completely winging it! Too much planning and scheduling creates stress and frustration. That is not how a walkabout should be. Rather, a combination of these elements typically brings it all together in a very cool and enjoyable way.

During the planning portion of our trip we identified a few things that we wanted to see such as the New England Aquarium and the USS Constitution. We also knew we wanted to walk as much of the Freedom Trail as we could. And of course, we wanted to find ways to appreciate as much fresh seafood as possible – starting with some New England clam chowder! For accommodations, our hotel, the Comfort Inn – Boston, was a few blocks from the nearest MBTA station but they offered a free shuttle service to and from the station 24 hours a day. The incredible convenience of the subway system proved to be a major bonus for our adventure.
