It was raining and miserable this morning for Cape Cod day I ummed and ahhed about going, since it's a 90 minute ferry ride each way. I decided to head into town to the ferry dock and see what they say about the seas. While waiting at the bus stop a few houses down, a lady came for the bus too, and we started chatting. She asked about the square dance shirt I was wearing because she did ballroom dancing. She was a lovely lady and we were chatting about Cape ...

Salem day! First up I had to go to the Peter Pan Bus station to buy my ticket for Thursday's trip over to New York. I had planned to just buy it on Thursday morning when I got there, but after chatting to my host last night, she strongly recommended I buy it straight away given it's 4th July long weekend and a trip to New York is extremely popular for that long weekend. I hadn't even realised Friday 3rd was a public holiday. As it turns out there was only 10 s...

Back to town for the day! Caught the bus from a few houses down which was very convenient. Bus at 8.55am to the train station at Oak Grove, then onto a waiting train at 9.10am, into downtown at 9.30am...too easy! Went straight to the Post Office to send my package of dancing gear home, since I have luggage restrictions for my tour. Wow...that hit me in the hip pocket!! I didn't have any choice though. I didn't have too much of a plan for today, since we're c...

Up early and checked out at 9.45am. I was in a bit of a hurry as I was aiming for the 10.15am bus to Boston. I had planned to walk the 4-5 blocks to the bus terminal but it was raining, and I had all my gear so I took a quick Uber ride. Just made it to the bus with a few mins to spare. It was a nice ride, with free onboard wifi, and I arrived in Boston at 12.45pm. In the food court at the massive bus terminal I noticed a pretzel shop called Auntie Anne's. As...

I had a great day, being the last day of the convention. It started with some accidental shopping as I passed through the stalls while roaming between halls. I met my gang at 12noon as agreed to take a group photo, then my gang went seperate ways to dance at different halls. I decided on the regular plus hall so I could save myself for the DBD (dancing by definition) hard Plus in the evening. There may have been more accidental shopping as I passed through the ...
