Excellent Blog- The Points Guy

Just wanted to share this blog I found called The Points Guy. He shares lots of info on how to rack up hotel and flyer miles. I like the way he thinks. I hope this is helpful to you as well!

Our Time in Boston- a Review

Hi All! My husband and I visited Boston for a weekend in July and had a wonderful time. Here’s a recap of our time there. I hope this is helpful to someone J

We live in Central Jersey, so we decided to try Megabus for the first time from the Secaucus station. Just a pic of me being silly:

The tickets cost us about $50 RT for both of us. I’m pretty sure it would have been cheaper if we booked earlier in advance, but we felt it was a good value. I highly recommend departing from Secaucus instead of New York City. Sounds like the NYC stop is a madhouse, but there were only four other riders who boarded with us there. The bus originally departed from Philly, so the bus was pretty full however we were able to find seats on the top level of the bus easily. The bus was clean, there were electrical outlets at each seat (overhead where the A/C nozzles were), and my husband noted that he was content with the leg room. It was on time too. We would definitely ride with Megabus again.

After about a smooth 4 hour ride, we arrived in Boston. We grabbed a taxi to our hotel. I booked our stay by bidding on Priceline, and won the Boston Marriott Copley Place. I contacted the manager before our arrival to make some requests regarding our room since I’m a Marriott Rewards Member. He was very courteous and assured me that our requests would be granted.  I read some reviews on Tripadvisor and was a little nervous about the hotel, but when we pulled up we were very pleased.

We arrived at about 3 PM and were able to check in right away. So excited to learn we had a corner room on the 37^th floor (there are 38 floors in the hotel), with an incredible view of the Charles River:
