Tour bus? I think this is Trolly tours. Red sox is a great idea but you'll pay top dollar for tickets. There is a Fenway park tour also that's popular. |

I figured if he was willing to look at Rolex's or own one he could possibly swing the tickets for a Red Sox game!

Best bet is to buy tickets from a scalper after the game has started. They are all over Fenway area. He won't be able to go to the fenway box office and buy tickets.

For vintage Rolex, check out Paul Duggan on Washington St. Not sure of any other vintage shops.

There's a jewelry store in Copley Plaza that is an AD for Rolex. I can't remember the name; it's bee a while since I've stopped in.
Edit: It looks like the one I was thinking of is Ross-Simons. There's also a Lux Bond & Green in the same area. |

I was going to suggest going to a Celtics playoff game like I did last year when I visited Boston but Paul Pierce and Co. will be on vacation courtesy of the Heat by the time you get there. Beautiful city Boston is. Enjoy.

I think the freedom trail is a real cool historical thing to do. Also If you can, like Bruno says go to the North end! Eat great italian food and go to Mike's pastries and get cannoli! you will not regret this. Also while on the freedom trail you will walk by The Bell in Hand it is "the oldest pub still in operation in america" I dont know if its true or not it seems there is some debate but its a good place for a nice Sam Adams, in a place that, well.... Sam Adams probibly had a ..........him

Funny you would mention Sam Adams...

But... Working in the liquor business has it perks and we are going as the guests of Sam Adams so a fair bit of drinking will be involved, along with some time at the brewery. |

If you attend a Sawx game, make sure that you skip Lackey starts because you will be in for a loooooooooooooooon day. Worst signing in Epstein's career of bad signings.
At least we swept the Yanks (without Lackey)
