2007 Swanking ideas - Page 22

Alex, when is MA?

Alex · 01-08-2007, 11:09 PM

I don't know.

Whatever date was announced is the one they are trying for but until all the logistics are hashed out it could change.

Definitely not in May, though.

k, should we tentative for 1st weekend in May? We could do a long weekend for those who can swing it, but including weekend weekend for those who can't.

I'm still up for doing Yosemite the swank way someday - - the Californians who haven't yet been are living in sin - - but for now I'm really more excited to discover California places new to me.

(I recently visited Joshua Tree for the first time, and intend to go back as often as possible. It's beautiful beyond my expectations ... and, at a mere 2.5 hours from L.A., worth a swanking in its own right.)

There are 4 or 5 birthdays that first week in May.

I think that sounds good. Maybe a Friday - Sunday venture? If we leave at the crack of dawn on Friday, we can definitely make it up there and have everything set-up by noon, and then head back down on Sunday afternoon.

That timing sounds perfect!

Hmm. Birthday camping. Hmmmmm.

This year is a biggie for me and I really have no clue what I'm doing for it...hmmmmm. Unsure this is what I'd want to do. A week earlier might be good...though I might be celebrating my brother's bday then. Complications.

This is a respectful suggestion, in light of all the wonderful family birthdays you guys celebrate joyfully:

The only birthdays you control are your own. Whether you choose camping is up to both of you (and I recommend it would be wonderful), but those two seem to be the only ones you have no "obligations" for.

This year is a biggie for me too... and I'm not sure what I'm doing either.

Birthday camping could be fun - but between Coachella in the last week of April and MA either that weekend or the first weekend in May (the two potentials announced) it will be pretty crazy few weeks.

I also figure that a 2-night camping stay is perfect for first-time campers, or those of us who haven't been in awhile. Although, nothing excludes some folks from staying through to Monday if they want. In fact, return traffic might be a bit better.
