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!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16347 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16270
Get a car and drive up I93, keep going up towards Franconia Notch or deviate and head for the 'Lakes'.

Titlon and Conway have shopping outlets (NH has no sales tax) and there is the Conway Scenic Railroad which will provide you with a steam rail trip through the autumal colours.

Alternatively, head up I 95, stopping for lunch in Portsmouth NH, and up into Maine. Head north to the mountains.

Both are beautiful, inexpensive (especially with the current exchange rate) and away from the usual UK tourist spots.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16270 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16256 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16256 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16196
The pins are posts and the balls are about the size of a softball. Anyone – from a 3-year-old to a person in a wheelchair – can be a competitive candlepin bowler, the weight of the ball has no bearing to one’s ability to aim and bowl it. 

The downed wood remains on the alley and can be played to advantage or becomes a hazard.  Because the pins are slender and the balls small, "splits" are a common challenge. Developing a well-placed “hook” is an asset.

It may take some telephoning to find an operating facility, but check out the Fairway Lanes on Rte. 9, Natick, Mass.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16196 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16159 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16159 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16155 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16155 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16154 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16154 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15864
The train goes over the Charles River, and on a bright day the view is simply amazing. All for the cost of a "T" ride.

Plus, while you're on this train, you may as well stay on it to discover the joys of Cambridge, and all its wonderful squares - Central, Harvard, Porter, Davis, Inman, Teele.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15864 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13046 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13046 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12973
Boston, apart from the Back Bay, the Common, and the Aquarium, is a bit boring and touristy. If you're from England, the historic sites won't seem very historic.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12973 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12926 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12926 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12898 "Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
