has finally arrived on the day of our departure!
We woke up at 3.30 (although we have not slept much the night) to the fateful first two hours (as everyone advised us to do) to Malpensa airport.
With suitcases ready and girls grandparents we have to prepare, quit and go home!
Our goal is to Parking Ceria Malpensa the parking that we have chosen to leave our car in these two weeks we will be on. It is
Malvaglio, 12 kilometers from the airport, and at the ' Hotel Restaurant "by Marysia.
Among the many possibilities of parking nearby, we chose this because we liked the space devoted to parking, the prices were low (30 € for 10 days + 1 € per day extra) and most importantly, unlike others who located outside the airport, this is just our way.
service is polite, but not exceptional. We arrive at 7:00, half an hour earlier than intended, and this seems a little annoying the first owner who tells us that we can start with one of the three shuttles available, then takes us back, wait fifteen minutes in front of 'input before giving the green light to once again lead us to Malpensa .
strange and unprofessional behavior ..... Thank God we have enough time to dispozione!
airport we go now check-in area.
Unfortunately we could not do it online the day before due to a small problem that you created at the time of booking (made by third parties) and not was placed in spite of our requests. There is already
tail, but when you open the doors amltisce quickly. Our problem is resolved, and finally get airline tickets to New York and Boston .
At this point, the bags loaded, we pass the security check (who knows what we thought but ...) and at 9.40 we embark.
Our plane is a 767-300 a vehicle a little dated and it shows especially the state of the seats, but the important thing is to bring us safely to the goal!
the end the journey was less boring than I thought, but when traveling ocean that I did before I always pasato more return. The service was friendly but not exceptional, as they say "the cart" that the hostess did not waste too much unless you're the one insisting on something.
The meals were acceptable but praised the choice between chicken and pasta has failed because it's our turn .... Would you like pasta or chicken? Chicken, please. Oh, no chicken. It's finished!
Even the entertainment was exceptional and traspessi two films were not as interesting, but I have seen worse and are still served to pass the time.
For me one of the negative notes was to serve the meal while watching impossible to follow the first film ... while eating and shopping go back and forth!
At 13.30 hours we get to New York JFK ..... we America!
fatigue begins to be felt and also began worrying about being able to take the train to Boston. It 's our first time at JFK and Experimental not lose! There is also the unknown of immigration, recently we have heard so many stories about these controls we are impressed!
In fact, just get off, we are officially in line to enter the United States. It must be said that here are all very professional and organized, even if they put a little soggezzione. Arivvato our turn comes a passport and tickets, took fingerprints and we are asked the reason for the trip's destination and the hotel where we will stay.
no problem in replying, the clerk has a way to do friendly. Once we have explained our program, approves it, tells us that Boston is a beautiful city to explore on foot and gives us some tips on areas to find a good restaurant in New York, not the tourists, but those with good price and frequented by locals. Fantastic! After we have talked about some of quarters to see near our hotel, we tranquilizza on the road ahead to reach the next flight and give us with ....
Welcome into United States of America!
agree that the end was right, go through customs, baggage claim, carichaimo them on tape for the flight to Boston and then we head slowly at the boarding gate. Unfortunately
luck abandons us .... after an hour of waiting we discover that our flight has been delayed percutaneous we boarded one hour later.
This time the plane is a small vehicle, a airline's MD-80 American Eagle . When
now seemed about to leave, here comes a new stop. There is a storm the city, we see several lightning and flights are stopped as a precautionary measure, so we have to stay another hour still on the plane.
Finally he takes off and the flight is not at all pleasant, perhaps because of fatigue, the turns are experiencing significant and continuing loss of altitude.
Finally after twenty-five minute journey we landed at Logan Airport that in comparison to the JFK airport always a country! Everything is easier, there is no confusion to trick that terminal, so take your luggage and soon we are on the dock where we take the 66 bus that takes us to stop Water Taxi.

| Boston by Water Taxi |
Indeed, we have chosen to come to our hotel, the Fairmont Battery Wharf , by water. This is for several reasons, firstly because the Water Taxi offers the convenience that a taxi to take you direct to the hotel entrance, which in our case, overlooking the bay, but at a more affordable price ($ 10 each). It 'also a fast (in 15 minutes we arrived) and it's nice to reach the city in this way.
The hotel is beautiful, the service impeccable and the check in very fast. In no
DICA si siamo in camera e possiamo finalmente sbatterci sul letto e farci finalmente una lung dormitor!
there are so many things to see what has been a grind to coincide everything perfectly! To plan your trip, we used first of two wonderful guides Lonely Planet : NEW YORK CITY-BOSTON and City Guide - Dating.
are two excellent books that provide all the necessary information to the main attractions. The New York guide is very thorough, with appendices devoted to restaurants, shopping, transport, while Boston is shorter, structured itineraries, but with interesting ideas that we have not found elsewhere. 
addition to these two books we used sull'utilissima experience of virtual friends who were not in United States and have visited these two cities.
Some websites that we are interested in our blogroll, others will cite in the course of our stories. Among we all want to quote the website forum NYC Site
where we found a nice community and people are always ready to lend a hand to answer questions and concerns. Fantastic also videos made by Spino on its website that offer a beautiful glimpse of an old New York and what you will live during your visit to the Big Apple.
have not neglected, of course, the official sites of the two major attractions of the city and the link which we reported on the page Links. To reserve the hotel where we stay assigned to the destination comparator Trivago
looking among the proposals more convenient for money ........ we hope to have chosen well!
to visit New York we decided to buy the card from home New York City Pass 6 attractions for your visit to paying $ 79 in all. These are all attractions that we still intend to visit and then we felt it was a nice savings.
All practical information regarding the United States, the means of access, customs, passports and the ESTA program we've found here and there and not on government sites. On the web there are several pages of argument, however, always refer to the official website. The flight, however, was kindly offered by the airline American Airlines
as you have read in previous posts.
We have never turned this airline, but we can say that whoever was responsible for preparing our voucher was very courteous and helpful to the point of grant, although not established after auction, to make a stopover in New York
in forward and cover the way up to Boston
with another half American Eagle. Well, suitcases in hand, it seems that we are ready to go!
Ireland.
