Aqimero, The Ritz Carlton, Philadelphia, PA USA

A day trip to Philly from Boston – one of the easiest commutes imageable. Both airports are fairly close to the city, both cities have easy highways connecting them to their transportation hubs, and there are, what feels like, 100 flights a day between the two.
