It’s grey and overcast with a little chill here in Boston today!

As we don’t have to check-out until 6 p.m., we did think about going into Boston, but decided against it as we’ve been here a few times before.

We decided to have a lie-in and chill before having a leisurely lunch and making sure the suitcases are all ready for the off. As always, they are a wee bit heavier than when we arrived!! Not really a surprise I guess! 🤣 We (I), have purchased a few goodies along the way! 🫣

I even managed to order another air fryer yesterday during our drive here to Boston! 😂

Well, Jamie Oliver (well known chef in the UK and who currently has a series on the television about cooking with air fryers) wrote to me and said I could order the Tefal double-drawer one he uses on the show and get a 35% discount! Tell me, what’s a girl supposed to do after being sent an offer like that, especially whilst we are stuck in traffic going nowhere?!!! 🤷‍♀️🤣 Buy one of course! 👍

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s only a ten-minute walk along the Skywalk from the second floor of the hotel to our terminal. We are already checked-in and have our boarding passes so it’s just a case of dropping off the cases. We can then go into the lounge for a couple of hours (it actually closes at 9 p.m.!) before our flight at 11p.m. It’s a fairly short flight for us at seven hours, as we are more used to 10-11 hours.

This hotel is much larger than it looks from the outside but is very nice.

As we don’t have a lot of anything to report today, I thought I would tell you a little more about the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placed. It is a member of the ‘Small Luxury Hotels of the World’!

It has two swimming pools, one indoor, one outdoors as well as a spa and gym. Definitely needed after eating the wonderful food in The View restaurant! 💪

Even though to most people, Covid is a thing of the past, at the Inn it’s still in the forefront of their minds.

In the entrance to the restaurant area they have a special UVC machine that cleans and recycles the air. They have other UVC machines dotted about the complex too. As each guest vacates their room, it is sterilised ready for the next. Even the hairdryer had been sterilised and placed in a sealed plastic bag!

The grounds are beautifully kept. We saw one gardener removing dandelions one by one with a special tool.

Here are a few photos taken in and around the Inn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, that’s all from this side of the pond folks! 🇺🇸

Our next and final post, will be when we are back in good ol’ Blighty tomorrow afternoon!! 🇬🇧

See you there!
