Boston
Logan to 12 Parley Vale
I would jump on whatever you see first once you exit the terminal.
If you see a Logan Express BB (back bay) get on it.(free) get off at Back Bay Station -> Orange Line outbound toward Forest Hills. Get off at Green St Station.
otherwise
Take 22, 33, 55, or 66 airport shuttle (free) to Blue Line subway station -> head inbound to State -> Orange Line inbound toward Forest Hills. Get off at Green St Station.
If you end up on the 66 shuttle you could take it to the Water Transportation Dock. From there to Long wharf is $1.10 if you have the mticket app iPhone or android Get a ticket from East Boston (Lewis Mall) to Boston (Long Wharf) . it runs on every half hour on the half hour. If you choose that route I could meet you at Long Wharf and carry your bags the .4 miles to State Street Station. This is the coolest way to go.
