I'm planning on getting there around 8-8:30am on Saturday morning I think. I'll try to figure out if there's any decent breakfast places around and see if we can all figure out a place to grab some food.

I'm not in a rush to leave (I live in NH) right after the Summit on Sunday, so if anyone wants to grab some dinner - I'm game! What's everyone want to check out (someone mentioned Fenway)? Perhaps we can try to figure out an area to grab dinner in,

What time is everyone getting to UMass-Boston? I was thinking of getting there a bit early and grabbing a quick coffee & breakfast.

I was thinking of staying at the friendly hostel, but I don't know where's a good place. Is HI better? Also down to kick it with everyone Friday and Sunday night. My plane doesn't leave till Monday evening and I really really really want to see Fenway :)

Hi everyone!
I was just wondering where people were staying on Friday and Sunday nights. I'm thinking of the HI Boston, but I'd definitely like to meet people beforehand or hang out afterwards.

Hello everyone! I'm super excited for the summit! I'm not sure if I should make this a discussion topic, but I'm hoping a comment will be fine. I'm heading down from my internship here in Acadia NP and don't have a sleeping bag. I was wondering if anyone might have an extra sleeping pad and bag that they wouldn't mind letting me borrow for Saturday night. Would anyone be willing if you're in the Boston area or just have an extra one?

Josh - Umass Boston to Logan would be:

Board Red line (Braintree - Inbound) @ JFK/UMass
Swap on to Silver Line 1 (Outbound) @ South Station
Get off @ Logan (there's stops for each terminal)

Give yourself at least an hour!!!

There's also a bus that goes from the JFK/UMass subway stop to further into campus, but I'm not familiar with it or if it's just easier to walk.

Sounds good! What would I take from UMass-Boston to Logan?

Hey Josh, you can buy tickets for the Silver and Red line at the MBTA ticket kiosks at all of the stops (airport included). They take both cash and credit. If you think you'll be wandering around a lot during your time in Boston, you might want to ask someone at an MBTA information booth for a Charlie Card. They're a bit easier to put more money on and I find I don't lose them as easily!

Sweet! Thanks, Jillian. I have no idea what I'll be doing Friday afternoon, so I may just walk around the BU area. Also, question about the Silver Line and Red Line... how do we use them? Do we buy a ticket in advance? Is it cash or CC?
