24 Hour City Guide: Boston / ACK




Fly into Boston Logan Airport (as early as possible! Spend the night in Boston then take Cape Air to ACK)
If you are lucky enough to spend the night in Boston. Make it a Saturday, go to Zuma for dinner, and make sure you can wake up in time for High Tea on Sunday at Four Seasons Dalton. 8:00AM- Visit the gym / pool at FS Dalton or stay in bed and order their delicious gluten free pancakes. 11:00AM- High Tea- The loveliest champagne and finger sandwich experience of New England!
1:00PM- Fly Cape air to ACK 2:30PM- Make sure you are staying at the White Elephant and make sure the White Elephant has a Taxi waiting for you! 3:00PM- Check into the White Elephant cotttages - only a cottage or a residence will do!
4:00PM- Walk through elephant village and tour the Whaling Museum. Stroll into Murphy's and stroll out with Nantucket Reds.
5:00PM- Take the hotel car to The Wauwinet for cocktails.
7:00PM- Have the hotel car drop you off at Jetties / Galley Beach to watch the sunet. Bring a bottle of Veuve and a beach towel. If it's October, you might be a little chilly! So throw on a Vineyard Vines pullover or a Patagonia Jacket while you are at it!
8:00OPM- Dinner at Straight Wharf, Oran Mor, Lola 41 or (if all else fails) the delicious hotel restaurant, Brant Point. A lobster roll is quite the consolation prize. Restaurants fill up quickly. Book in advance! 10:00PM- Enjoy a book by the fireplace in your cottage or stroll by the Juice Bar for ice cream before bed.

White Elephant Nantucket

 The White Elephant Nantucket  Let's Travel Moore is a regular at the White Elephant ACK... Perfect spot for family travel & couples. The Wauwinet is the only Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts property around the island.  It’s spectacular, but quite a bit far from White Elephant village if you don’t have a car. I suggest you stay at the White Elephant, buy a pair of Nantucket Reds at Murray’s and walk about town!  But don’t skip lunch at Toppers! The Wauwinet Lady can transport you over to this sister property on boat. A great experience!  Back to the White Elephant 🐘  We've stayed in cottages, residences, and - for our last visit - the hotel with a view of the harbor and (very convenient!) easy access to Brant Point...More on that later... The property is full of nautical art… Just like the entire island Books about everything ACK… Don’t miss the Nantucket Atheneum 📚 Check out children’s beach if you’re trying to get a little one all tuckered out before bed. Or calm enough

Four Seasons New Orleans

  The Four Seasons New Orleans  The good times rolled at the Four Seasons New Orleans. We have visited with and without a baby, and both times were magnificent. The Chandelier Bar (showed below) is magnificent! Miss River is a fun spot to eat, with jazz music. Chemin à la Mer is my favorite, with panoramic views of the Mississippi River. I always get the Savage Blonde Oysters. It is the place to go for traditional Louisiana fare with a twist of French techniques.  The fitness center at the Four Seasons is world class, but if you are looking for more of an outdoors family adventure, check out Audubon Park. There is a zoo as well as lovely grounds to stroll and walk off all the jambalaya & such. The Audubon Aquarium is actually closer to the Four Seasons than it is to Audubon Park! This experience is not to be missed. It was my son’s first aquarium experience. It was entertaining for us too.  Another fun spot with a unique bar experience, bar Marilou. a hidden gem for craft cocktails

Kennebunkport, Maine

  A guide for the town where The Bush Family vacations. 🇺🇸Kennebunkport, Maine.  The quaint, yet pedigreed All-American town about 30 miles south of Portland, is full of exquisite lobster fine dining experiences and pristine marinas full of boats.  Where you are staying…  I stayed at the White Barn Inn, an Auberge property. The only Amex #FHR in the area. Complimentary breakfast (mostly coffee) is my favorite way to start the day… Where to relax… Walking on the beach is a close second favorite way to begin my mornings. There are three main Kennebunk Beach areas: Mother’s Beach, Middle Beach, and Gooch’s Beach. Kennebunkport or Kennebunk (they are one and the same) is a destination that will surprise local New Englanders and urban city dwellers alike.  Stripers waterside restaurant at The Breakwater Inn is a great spot for lunch by the water and a lobster roll. 🦞 Take in the fresh air! Looking for a sweet souvenir? Look no further than Daily Society for shopping! Yes, you can buy som
