Home from Boston

In an effort to imagine how a collection of diagrams can be stitched together we recall all of the route finding required to get home from a week of work in Boston.

We consider airline routes, transit maps, street maps and building plans. Each of these are drawn to an appropriate scale and printed or posted for the traveler. We omit aircraft taxi patterns that are the pilot's concern.
