Filenes Basement in Boston is a must for a bit of bargain shopping . (Filenes is a department store, the basement is on the basement lol). On a sunny day you can do the Freedom Trail; thick red stripe painted through the city = walking tour. Yes Quincy Market is worth a visit, reminds me of London's Covent Garden. There's an Aquarium on the seafront in Boston, you can also do a Whaling Tour from there and I think the museum you mentioned is on the river, might be the Science Museum, lots of hands-on stuff. You can visit the Galleria Mall in Cambridge, has its own carpark and nice foodcourt. Stop at AuBonPain for lunch, great for chocolate croissants. Walk through Cambridge and see Harvard and/or MIT, walk along the Charles River, use the T which is the public underground system, great way to get around. Crate&Barrell is a nice store for household goodies. And a walk though Boston's BackBay is nice too, lots of 'historic' buildings.

Dr.Who-Who

logged into my deal & thought I found a "REAL BARGAIN":eek:

I thought I could have both but alas am only allowed to choose 1.

Do I go via cashback & get £60 or do I go to the member's offer link & get £50 M&S. Called them today, was told that I have to click to the link & register for it in order for them to send the £50 M&S and I won't get it unless I re-apply under my OH name's as a new customer.

Had a look @ their T&C, M&S offers cannot be use in conjunction with casback website:(:(:(

Oh well, never mind shall look for better deal like .... TESCO!:D haven't been raiding their shop this week just don't feel like it.:D



@ Jeff, can come over & collect my pressie?:cool:
