Were you aware of the fact that the first phone call ever made took place in Boston on March 10, 1876? Compared to typical phone calls made today (or texting) the 1876 call was a short one and over a really short distance; actually it was just down the hall in a machine shop. The inventor of the first telephone, Alexander Graham Bell was working at one end of the hall, his assistant Thomas A. Watson at the other. The message Bell sent to Watson was “Watson come here, I want you!” Just imagine how exciting it would be to make, and even take, the very first phone call ever made; it would be Spectacular!

That was over 125 years ago and today’s world is very different. Part of the thrill of visiting Boston is the opportunity to tour landmarks and tourist sites that share the same kind of innovative stories as well as centuries of American history, all gathered in this one fantastic city. The Boston Commons and Freedom Trail are filled with statuary and monuments celebrating its vibrant past and it can take days to explore them all. Fortunately there are wonderful selections of cheap hotel rooms in the Boston Common area that will but you within easy access to sites like these and more.

Boston may only be the 20th largest city in the United States but it’s a city full of life and its long patriotic heritage and rich cultural history continually draws millions each and every year who come to walk Boston’s famous Freedom Trail and to learn about, and feel like they are experiencing first hand, America’s earliest years. The Freedom Trail takes you by a variety of historical landmarks like Paul Revere’s house, the USS Constitution, Boston Common and public gardens which date back to 1634.

So when you use your Android to book one of the cheap hotels in Boston for your vacation, remember that Alexander Graham Bell started it all by making his first phone call to Watson centuries ago.
