Flights out with BA from Manchester via London Heathrow excellent. Good food and timed well. Landed at Boston on time and out of US immigration and Customs within an hour. Straight onto Alamo car rental bus and no queues.
Now 3:00 a.m. body clock, let myself get upgraded during a conversation about 2nd drivers and now have a huge gold Jeep Cherokee. Bit concerned whether it's actually right for us and it's going to drink gas but hell, it's supposed to be an adventure.
Fun and games finding the hotel. Tom-Tom took us an elongated route which involved many long under passes so no GPS signal and I think a few turns were missed as a result. Announced we were at our destination with no sign of Holiday Inn Express. Went around block twice; reprogrammed address - same again. Finally headed over to a Retail Park to get self together in car park and could see hotel. Asked a cop sitting in his car how to get over there (reasonable question - chaotic interweaving roads) and he looked at us as if daft. "You can see it - there." Anyway, 10 mins later we were in and all OK.
