Thanks for joining us for E2MA’s Red Diamond Congress. While you are here, we hope you’ll have some leisure time to explore what Boston has to offer. To make it easy for you, we’ve compiled a list of ideas and options. Enjoy! 1. Take the subway “T” into the city and explore on your own Getting to the train The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service to and from the Quincy Red Line train stop, which will bring you into Boston. Shuttles depart the hotel every ½ hour between 7am and 9:30pm. The train is 1 mile from the hotel. Returning to the hotel To return to the hotel, call the hotel for pickup from the Quincy Red Line when you arrive. Cost The T costs $2.65 each way or a $12 flat rate per day. You can buy tickets at the train station. To learn more check out their website; http://www.mbta.com/fares_and_passes/subway/ Note: JFK Library Museum (http://www.jfklibrary.org/) You can take the subway to explore the JFK museum. Just take the hotel shuttle bus to the T (see above) and then follow the directions below: 1. Take the MBTA Red Line to the JFK/UMASS station. 2. When you arrive on the platform, walk up the stairs or take the elevator to the station level, exit the station, cross the bridge over the train tracks, descend the stairs or take the ramp down to the street level. 3. Board "Bus #2," a free shuttle bus that will take you from the T station to the JFK Library and Museum. 2. Take a San Francisco style Trolley from the Quincy Marriott to Boston Overview Discover Boston on the San Francisco style Red Beantown Trolley!
