Greetings from Boston!

So, we've arrived! First leg of our epic journey was a little unsettling when at Heathrow we were sent to the "Flight Management" section because the flight was over-booked and we had no seats...but all was rosy when we were upgraded out of economy- woop woop! So it was big comfy seats, lots of leg room (including a footstool, my personal favourite bit!), individual screens with loads of movies, music and games, and copious amounts of food to keep us happy on the 7 hour flight : )  Not sure we can ever fly economy again, we've been spoiled on the first journey!
Getting to our hostel was a bit of a palava, as I suppose it always is when you rock up to a new place and take public transport. But we figured out their metro system, walked waaaaay further than we needed to...then discovered they'd totally messed up our booking for the second time (long story) so we spent the night just us in a ramshackle room, but have got ourselves a free night out of it, so not all bad. Slightly apprehensive about actually doing the sharing thing the next 2 nights, think earplugs might be needed...
Anyway, all is well, just about to head out to explore Boston in the daylight (of which there seems to be copious amounts- did anyone else know the sky is meant to be blue???!!!!)
Lots of love to all!
