Reservations

Ok, im making the reservations today at lunch. Done. Whitewater rafting and camping. Done. Let's start to take stock of what we are going to need.

+ Tents (I have one that sleeps 3 people and Tom has one too. We might need one more.)

+ Something to grill food on.

+ Beer

+ Acoustic guitar

+ Bug repellent

Secondly, I am completely and totally a fan of a wine tasting trip out east for one weekend during the summer. It's usually not too bad to rent a limo for the day if we can get 8 people or so. That's typically the best idea for the following reasons:

• You get to ride around in style.


• You don't have to worry about who's driving.


• You look glamorous as you roll up to the vineyards.


• There is a bar in the car (need i say more?)

Plus, it probably won't be as expensive as chicago. So you have my vote for the wine-tasting. Fo sho.

BROOKLYN >>

I have decided that it is no longer a good idea to forsake brooklyn so much. Let's start only going out in Brooklyn and try to forget about manhattan as much as possible. Let's pick a different neighborhood each time. So far we have seen:

• Brooklyn Heights


• Williamsburg


• Park Slope (??)
