March 21st 2009: Flying to Boston | 22/03/09 - 14.24 |
Woke after not very much sleep at all at 4.30 to go and get on the coach. Thanks Andy for letting me out of college. I slept a bit on the coach. Arrived at Heathrow at 8.00. Checked in and went through security. Then got some breakfast at Spoons. Sausage sandwich. At about 10.20 left the terminal in a bus towards the plane, finally leaving London just after 10.45. Limited on board film selection with the entertainment being non-interactive. I watched some of Madagascar 2: Back 2 Africa, but didn’t really enjoy it. Then on the second loop I watched some of Starksey & Hutch. It was ok.
Landed in Boston and lost 4 hours. It’s now 14.00. Met Nick at the airport. Went on a bus and a train back to his house. Dropped off my bag and headed to MIT. Really nice campus and university buildings. Got a Subway footlong from the MIT students union and walked to Harvard. Looked round the university very briefly and went to Lowell house where James wants to live next year. We then got the subway to the centre of Boston and walked from there to Nick’ house. Went to bed early – 9.45 ish. Rather tired.
