Whats the cheapest way of getting into Boston from Burlington?

Q. So tomorrow I leave for boston and we are staying at the Extended Stay Deluxe in Burlington over on Main St. Looking to see what would be the cheapest way/route of getting from the hotel to some mass transit or the cheapest way from the hotel to Boston. We DO have a car at our disposale. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

A. Traveling on the T(www.mbta.com) is your best way to go. Burlington has a local bus (781-270-1965) that connects at several points with bus route #350. The 350 is NOT an express route. It has full day and weekend service. The terminus is Alewife Station in Cambridge, from which you can take the Red Line and have connections to the entire bus and subway system.
The first link in the source list is an MBTA map of the Burlington area. The second is a schedule for the 350 bus route inbound to Cambridge. Scroll to the right side of the schedule page and you'll see the cost of the trip. If you'll be staying for a while, get a Charlie Card (the card is free; you add value to it in order to use it)
*Added after answerers 5 & 6-There is no commuter rail station in Burlington, although there are 2 in Woburn (next town over) on the Lowell Line. The terminus is North Station, which has connections to the Green and Orange subway lines. Considering the price of gas is approaching $4.00/gal., bus to Alewife and the Red Line is still the best way to go.

What brand of luggage is sturdy enough for international travel, but at a reasonable price?

Q. I'm going to France and I'll be on planes, trains, buses, walking, different hotels, you name it. What's a good brand that's reliable but not overly expensive. Also, this would be a big suitcase.

A. I have been very pleased with my luggage that is American Airlines brand. It is lightweight, very sturdy, and in between soft and hard shell. It was designed by AA flight attendants, and has every feature I want. I have the carry-on size, and a full size bag. I have wagged it all over the world, and it is in very good shape. I found it at Burlington Coat Factory, which I was very surprised and pleased to see had a very large selection of luggage of all styles and sizes and wide price range.

Ordering things online in the states, being shipped to the hotel?

Q. Im going on vacation in vegas and I was wondering if its possible to order things online and get them sent to the hotel. Im from Canada and the shipping is cheaper to the states, since Im going to be there for 10 days and shipping should take about 2 days.

A. There are a few online stores that ship-to has to match your credit card address, and you may need to do something in the shipping address with a c/o (care of), but you should be able to from most stores. In a pinch you email or telephone customer service of the online store to handle it. I live in Las Vegas and there is tons of shopping here including a Fry's electronics about a mile south of Mandalay Bay and 2 outlet malls and several TJ Maxx and a Burlington Coat Factory with discounts. I lived in a hotel in Santa Clara, CA for about 12 weeks and even had checks printed with the address for convenience.
By the way, here is the Free To Do list: http://vegas4locals.com/free.html
