I’m telling y’all, if I had this hotel Internet connection at home I’d slit my wrists. How can a major hotel chain (Crowne Plaza) in a major East Coast metropolitan area still have wired network connections, and a painfully slow one at that? I mean, it’s bad enough that the hotel has seen better days and stands astride the Mass Pike where traffic flows at all hours of the night and Amtrak commuter trains rumbling below shake the hotel’s foundation (I love the sound of traffic and trains but I doubt many visitors do that close by), but crappy Internet connectivity is simply inexcusable in this day and age.
If you knew how long it’s taken me to just type this post you’d understand.
But overall it’s great to be back in New England. The crazy traffic patterns, the loons that dart in and out of lanes to try and save a few minutes’ commute at the risk of their lives (and others), the crisp October air, the Dunkin’ Donuts on every corner, the Italian subs (with tomatoes, onions, and pickles), the Sam Adams Octoberfest on draft – all just a reminder of home.
Tonight we had dinner at Jerry Remy’s by Fenway Park. Great location, the huge flat-screen TVs in high def were awesome, but the food was pretty disappointing. Just your average pub stuff. But, the Octoberfest was cold, wet, and fresh so that was good enough for me.
And that Friday Nor’easter I said yesterday was going to be just another rain storm? Well, as they say in those Southwest Airlines commercials, “It’s on.” I can’t wait!
Wish I could write more but I’d be up another hour trying to get this post posted. Tomorrow I’ll be checking out and heading back to my folks where their is warmth, love, and a great Internet connection. Talk to y’all then.
