Day 1- Kansas City, MO to Boston, MA

We woke up at 5 AM to catch our 8 AM flight. Mandi2 getting ready, Irfan was the last one to get ready. Kesian dia tido pukul 12 lebih and has to wake up at 5:30 AM the next day. He's not really used to sleeping at a hotel so the night before terkebil2 tak boleh tido hehe.




We took a shuttle to the airport. By the time we got to the airport, there were tons of people lining up. It's 4th of July weekend, everybody has travel plans. Nasib baik sampai awal. Security was ok, nothing to complain. Had some breakfast that Gem made for us- nasi & mee goreng. yummy.


Irfan and his favorite bag


While waiting to take off
We arrived at Boston at about 12:30 pm, picked up our rental car and by the time we got to the hotel it was almost 3 pm. It was so tiring. Irfan wasn't feeling very well- he's annoyed dgn hidung dia. I think he's allergic to the dust from the airport or something. Asyik2 blowing and wiping his nose- but no selsema or anything.

About 4:30 pm we headed to downtown Boston- first stop was Boston Commons so that we can walk along the freedom trail. Found a ridiculously expensive parking, and started walking. Tak jumpa2 the freedom trail. Finally jumpa but jalan halfway couldn't find the rest of it. Ingat nak check google map, my kaput BB wasn't working. Tension.

Faneuil Hall- Quincy Market

Our first stop was the Quincy Market- it's a building/ market with tons of people selling souvenirs, popular boston sea food etc. Pretty good crowd- and everything costs way too much huhu. I bought a small magnet for $8! Quincy Market is similar to Pike Market in Seattle.

Then we continued our walk to the North End area.It's pretty much the harbor with nice view.



After a long walk (2 miles I'm guessing), dah penat sgt so stopped at the most popular pastry/ dessert shop in Boston- Mike's Pastry. We ordered some cannolis and they are the best that I've ever tasted.
And there were about 30 people lining up waiting for their turn- to get a bite of Mike's Cannoli. It's absolutely worth it. There's only one reason I'd go back to Boston- for the cannoli hehehe. (I think I kinda sound like Amin & Gem now, it's all about good food)

Enjoying our chocolate chip cannoli. The best in Bean Town.
The store is so small..

Then we headed back to our parking lot- got a bit lost. Ate some Lobster Rolls for dinner- a must try! Off to bed. Oh now I feel like going back to Boston :(
