United States
Travel to Boston after a day or two enjoying the peace and tranquility of Truro, Cape Cod. Then jump on a ferry from province town and enjoy the landscape and rugged coastline of Massachusetts - watch out for the whales out at sea...
You'll be speechless as you enter the glorious Boston Harbour - watching the fantastic skyscrapers get bigger and bigger on the horizon! It's a must!
Great place to stay, very central, wonderful value for money (sleeps four for approx the same cost as a moderate hotel room for two in a much less central and attractive area). The water taxi from Logan will drop you off right next to the houseboat. Five minutes walk to Quincy Market area. All the comforts of home too.

Nearest underground station is at the New England Aquarium right next door.
A three-hour trip to whale watch on a high speed boat - less time spent travelling to the site and more time viewing. In truth, the best thing I've ever done - really moving to be so close - don't miss it.
On the tip of Cape Cod, this is where the Pilgrims from the Mayflower signed the Compact, agreeing to settle. A nice boat journey from Boston harbour is followed by a wander around the historic town.
