Sounds like we'll be spoiled for choice! Many thanks to all for the info and the links, which I'll be looking at in more detail later. As I just love seafood, Boston sounds like my kind of holiday destination. May see you at a Press Room shanty session Tom but dates yet to be finalised - I think it'll be around the second & third weeks in August. The sights I'm mainly interested in are historical places, although as a twitcher, a bit of birdwatching will not come amiss either...
