Boston 2019

July 24-29 2019

Introduction

I created a bucket list in 2015. One item on the list was to take my dad to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox play live. You know my dad he wants to do it in grand style, he chose the rival New York Yankees as the series to watch. The obvious issue is that the tickets are so expensive. We were looking at over 2 grand for seats. But my mom gave the green light and said she would buy the tickets. I hope my dad appreciates this gesture, it would take me a long time to try save up for Red Sox/Yankee tickets. Initially I just wanted me, Jared, and my dad to go. But everyone in the family wanted to tag along. I thought that was a little weird because they wouldn't be interested in the game, but I think they wanted family bonding.

Jessica got a an air bnb next to Fenway Park. This actually became an important decision because everything was in walking distance. My dad wouldn't have to walk great distances to see the game. Now the flight tickets. Over a year ago, I signed up for the Hawaiian Miles card because they started to have flights to Boston. I actually had enough miles for one round trip to Boston from Hawaii, but you know we moved to Germany, so all that planning was thrown out of the window. I instead found a $700 ticket from Frankfurt to New York which turned out okay. JFK airport turned out to be a nightmare especially connecting to Boston.
