​Dear Traveler,

"Please come to Boston," as the 70's hit goes... Visit the capital of Massachusetts, and see one of the nation's oldest cities. Walk the Freedom Trail  and stroll the same streets where Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock stepped. Grab a bite in the North End at one of the famed Italian restaurants, shop the funky boutiques on Newbury Street, tour renowned universities, or take in a Sox game at Fenway! 
​
Sincerely, 
​Erik
