    Traveling alone, ever worry about getting sick?

    Parking in downtown Boston?! Headed to a conference...

    If the conference is at the hotel, you should be able to park there to attend it. I have never been to a conference at a hotel that they charge or won't let conference guests park... Did you talk to the hotel already?
