This past Friday I got the kids off to school, dropped off their transition stuff to their mother's house, did some various other errands and drove to Boston, all by myself.
My husband had his monthly Drill Weekend. I know, I know, it sounds painful, but there are no dentist drills involved during Drill Weekend. I've asked.
The drive along the way to Boston was full of beautiful foliage. And, when I arrived in Boston, more civilization than I've seen in quite some time.
There was both hustle and bustle going on.
There were people and buildings...oh my land! I was so very excited to see so many cars...and not a pickup truck anywhere. Nor cows, or horses anywhere for that matter. Not that I mind the cows and horses in my town, it's just that whenever I see any type of urban civilization I get all nostalgic and excited.
Capt had printed me out a coupon for 25% off on parking at PreFlight Parking. Let me tell you that the people over there were wonderful. As soon as I got out of my car the shuttle bus pulled up to whisk me off to the airport. Bach was gently playing throughout the bus....Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major to be exact...one of my favs.
(Youze didn't know I was so kultured n' stuff, did ya?)
When I arrived back to Boston from my whirlwind of a trip to SC another shuttle was there as I stepped out of the building. There was no waiting at all.
This bus was calming too. In fact, a couple sitting next to me made their upcoming wedding arrangements on a cell phone during the 15 minute trip back. I know where they are getting married, the ceremony details, the flowers and their music choices. Entertaining, yes.
I got a ride directly to my truck and when I drove through to pay the cost for three days of parking was a mere $35 !!!
When I go to NYC that's what I pay an hour for parking.
It was a fun-filled, jam-packed weekend and I must say that I was very impressed with PreFlight Parking and how easy and affordable the parking was for me.

Sounds like a very busy weekend. $35 sounds like a lot but you are right, compared to NY prices it's a bargain.
We're heading for Atlanta tomorrow and will use that kind of parking - it is so handy. But we don't get nice music!
I'm glad you had such a good time, and we're looking forward to the same.
Sounds like you had a great time! Glad you made it home OK. Have great weekend!
