Boy, Hyatt sure did give this property a long official name. I had a one-night stay at this property about two weeks ago, my first time staying there. It’s located very close to Logan (BOS), but the hotel recommends calling for the shuttle to…
I spent the last couple of weeks chronicling my trip on the inaugural 787 Dreamliner flight from BOS to NRT. I skipped over my actual time in Tokyo because I figured the Dreamliner story was more compelling to airline enthusiasts. I’m planning to spend…
