The "T" (subway) will get you around downtown Boston without much trouble. I would consider doing the:
Freedom Trail..it's a historic walking tour at your own pace, or you can take a guided Freedom Trail tour
The "MFA" (Museum of Fine Arts) It's on the "T" route
Take a walk along the Charles River and watch the crew teams from the bridges
Do lunch in Harvard Square. It's across the river but the "T" will get you there.
Lunch and shop at the Quincy Market, during the day there are usually street performers.
As for Plymouth about 45 minutes south of Boston....very nice golf, however Plymouth rock is a complete let down....if you are going to travel head out to Lexington and Concord...20-30 minutes west of Boston and lots of things to see. You can see the rude bridge that arched the flood where once embattled farmers stood....you know the rest
Salem..the Witch museum is neat and do the water front but right next door is Glouster, Cape Ann and Plum Island with the fishing fleets and wouderful beaches.
Have fun
