Is it possible to travel from Boston, MA to Pittsburgh, PA in one day?
More specifically, from Boston University to Carnegie Mellon University. I am planning a trip and I have one full day, 4/19 (Tuesday), to make it from Boston to Pittsburgh, counting in stops for food. I don't mind leaving really early and arriving really late. Also, how much time should I allow to make the trip. Please don't give use mapquest to give me the answer.

Answer 1 :
Is it possible? I`d hope you can do it , I go from a little island on the west coast to Boston in 1 day , even stop for a cold beer in Chicago on the way.
Answer 2 :
In 05 left here in Pittsburgh for Boston drove all day and all night took 12 - 13 hours with very quick stops no more than 15 min only stopped four times hope you enjoy Pittsburgh make sure you visit the Strip District and Dave's Music Mine in South Side
Answer 3 :
Fly. Kayak.com is showing Delta at $85 one way on 4/19, USAir at $125 for a 1.5 hour flight. With the price of gas and road food, is it worth it to drive?
Answer 4 :
If you must drive, Philly' about 6 hrs, (from experience), then Pittsburgh is another 5 1/2 hrs. (from Google Earth). And if you're on 95 going through NYC at the wrong time, all bets are off (from experience).
Answer 5 :
According to mapquest, it is roughly 10 1/2 hours.

Answer 1 :
Train, plane, or bus. I would choose train.
Answer 2 :
Go for either the Amtrak or the Greyhound. Here are the links: www.amtrak.com www.greyhound.com
Answer 3 :
Going by train is quite nice, if you can't afford the airfare. Much less smelly and tiring than a bus. You are also up higher than a bus, and get a better view. Trains often go through more wooded (and more picturesque) areas.
Answer 4 :
definitely the train!
Answer 5 :
Train is the easiest. Once you're in Boston, hop on the Red line. Go to South Station. From there you can purchase a ticket to New York on the commuter rail. Probably takes about three to four hours to get there. You can also buy the ticket round trip if you choose to do so.
Answer 6 :
The express train is really quick and fairly comfortable.
Answer 7 :
Katie is right about the train, but wrong about which one!! The Commuter Rail does not go to New York! It is Amtrak.
Answer 8 :
I have done it by bus but I'd imagine the train is more comfortable but more expensive.
Answer 9 :
the absolute cheapest way to go is the Fung Wah bus - $15 each way - but the ride takes approximately 4 hours. http://www.fungwahbus.com Personally, I pay the extra cash to take the Acela Express by Amtrak. http://www.amtrak.com
Answer 10 :
I'll take the Greyhound bus or Fungwah bus. Everything (armtrack train, all buses) are located in South Station. So if you are in Boston, just take the red line to South Station.
Answer 11 :
You could try the train but by far the cheapest is the Chinatown train. It goes from Chinatown (Boston) to Chinatown (New York) for ten bucks.
Answer 12 :
There's a bus that goes from Chinatown in Boston to Chinatown in NYC direct and I hear it's WAY cheap. (Like $25 or so round trip.) Otherwise, I'd do the train. There are commuter flights from Logan to Laguardia, but if you don't have a car on either end, it might not work for you.
Answer 13 :
They offer low price shuttles
Answer 14 :
going by train is definatly the best way!!

bus
Answer 2 :
i would go by airplane:)
Answer 3 :
I think your choices are A). Hitchhike (illegal on the Mass. Pike) or B). Bus (www.greyhound.com or www.peterpanbus.com).. Sorry but they tore up the trolley tracks in the late 1920's/1930's, and there's no train service to Amherst. Flying?! Yeah, SURE!!! In a Cessna or Piper Cub maybe...
Answer 4 :
Peter Pan bus. It's around $15 each way and you get it right downtown at South Station.
Answer 5 :
Try http://www.ridebuzz.org That weekend is the end of Spring Break for UMass Amherst Students so many of them will be returning to campus. You may be able to get a ride with someone for part of the cost of gas.

In world travel can you get a tourist ship that goes all the way around the world leaving from Boston?
In the 1950s area "Slow Boat to China" was a favorite tune. I love to travel. Is there a way to Travel by boat from Boston all around the world to the other side to Thailand, Or would it be Boston Europe, Train then short plane flight for Bangcock? The only time I was on a ship was 1963 from NewYork to Germany aboard a military troop ship. I wonder if anyone here has gone that long distance to the other side of the world on a tourist ship?

Answer 1 :
There is bus service to NYC from Boston. Just beware of the cheap bus in Chinatown that goes to NYC. It's scarey or so I hear repeatedly. There is a lot to do in Boston. The North End has a lot of great Italian restaurants. My favorite is Al Dente on Hanover St. (great Italian food at a reasonable price) I like the Museum of Fine Arts. It depends on what you are into. I don't usually go into Boston in the winter. My husband and I go in the summer mostly because it's a walking city so dress warmly. Newbury St. is a cool place to walk because they have some interesting and unique shops. Of course, they have a lot of national stores now so it's lost some of its charm. There are some decent restaurants over there. You will have more fun in NYC but of course it's even more expensive than Boston.
Answer 2 :
you can go to the science museum or the muesum of fine arts. you can go to the aquarium. you can go to the Boston Bruins game or the Boston Celtics. You can go downtown, chinatown. You can go to the sea district and eat lobster. there is a ton of stuff to do in boston. Also, you can take the train to NYC. Just go to south station.
Answer 3 :
For sightseeing you could get tickets for a show or go to Chinatown. Live in Ma, been there millions of time.
Answer 4 :
Don't miss Fanuel Hall!! It's awesome. They have some cheap buses to N.Y. but they are always breaking down or just don,t show up. The North End in Boston has some great places to eat. Massachusetts is big on decorating for xmas we have a lot of holiday spirit so no matter where you go you will see some pretty xmas lights. You should rent a car so you can sight see because there is so much to see. Have Fun whatever you do!!
Answer 5 :
Go around the South End, it is marvelous.
