And aquarium is a vital link in area’s ocean preservation movement.

The centerpiece of aquarium is giant tank. The floors of aquarium run around tank and up four levels. At top you get to peer down into a coral reef and listen as staff explain about tank and fish that live in it. You’ll get answer to questions such as: “Why don’t big shark fish eat little tasty fish?” or “How old are those huge sea turtles swimming around down there?”

Your ticket will include a visit to Discovery next to main building, where you can see and learn about sea lions during an amazing show. A few years ago Aquarium opened an IMAX theater that shows a mixture of sea-related and general science films. A word of warning – this is a favorite Boston vacations attraction for families. But you’ll always get in, even when ticket line seems to stretch for miles.

BEACON HILL

Sandwiched in a small area between Boston Common, and Charles River, are alleys and narrow red brick cobbled streets, where time has stood still for last century. This is Beacon Hill, and one of most popular walks for people on their Boston vacations. Quiet and bewitching, it's a delight to walk. You’ll find walled gardens and an authentic 19th century neighborhood feel. Even original gas lights remain on streets lined with ancient elms. A favorite haunt for taking pictures is Louisburg Square. A picturesque block of residences perfectly preserved. After you ramble up Mount Vernon street, wind your way back across to Massachusetts State House that sits atop Beacon Hill and get your camera out again.

AND THERE'S MORE…

Three other places to visit on your Boston vacations are Cambridge, just across Charles River, and home to universities of Harvard and MIT – THE J.F.K Library and Museum at Columbia Point in South Boston – and Boston Harbor Islands, tours to islands leave from Long Wharf and Rowes Wharf, both located near aquarium.

Boston has tons of things to do and see, and I’ve really just started to scratch surface for you. The rest is yours to discover and as close as your favorite search engine and booking on Internet.

But, some companies charge a higher markup, while others charge a lower markup. Whereas big consolidators might charge a $150 or $200 markup on tickets they sell, there are other consolidators like http://www.worldcheaper.com that charge only a $50 markup on a resold ticket.

One last word on this topic. Some websites that you visit might actually be affiliate resellers. The hard lesson about affiliates is that they do not always have quick and efficient customer support, and they may not be able to change or cancel your ticket, if you need them to do so.

There are many quick and efficient ways you can check a site to see if you are on an affiliate site. I am listing two of those methods below. Be aware of these things when you are ready to buy from a site, so that you don*t buy your airfare from an affiliate reseller.

1. If you mouse over a link, you will see URL of link in bottom of your Internet Explorer browser window. If it is different from URL that appears in your Address Bar at top of your Internet Explorer browser window, then you will know that you are on an affiliate site.

2. If you mouse over a link, and you see URL in bottom of your Internet Explorer browser window and that URL has a question mark in it, then you will know that you are on an affiliate site.
