any itinerary advice?? trains, areas to stay etc

Answer 1

Your best bet given the time constraints will probably be Amtrak.

Something along these lines maybe.

Day 1 - Arrive Boston

Day 2,3 - Explore Boston

Day 4 - Transit to Niagara Falls, ON (stay on Canadian side)

Day 5,6 - Explore Niagara (my hint, when doing the main attractions, by the two day pass and start at the Farthest first (the butterfly garden).  You will miss most of the tour crowds as they all start at the other end.

Day 7 - Transit to NYC

Day 8,9 Explore NYC

Day 10 - Homeward Bound

Specific stay recommendations I can't really do without an idea for budget.
