Nice Work

Nice work Shea!

Maybe you should start doing this sort of thing for a living.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The River House


The River House is where we will be lodging this New Years vacation. It is located within walking distance of Main Street, Ludlow and, according to the owner, the shuttle bus to the main lodge will pick us up at the front door of our home. This is huge becase those who have been skiing at Okemo (or anywhere for that matter) know it's a bitch to drive to the mountain. It's also great because nobody will feel stuck at the mountain. So, if your girlfriend has a "panic attack" you can show her where the shuttle stop is and be on your way. The house it's self is pretty dope. there is a large, open kitchen/living/dining area as well as a seperate "sports bar" with TV's, pool table and bar. I am also proud to say that, for the first time in three years, there is an outdoor hot tub. It is a beautifully refurbished lodge from the 1800's updated with modern amenities and beutifully finished and appointed with really nice furnishings. I think everyone is going to love it. Check it out for your self

The Crew


Below is a list of this years crew. As you will notice Dave Won and Hannah have dropped out. So, there are only 15 on the list right now. Nabel and Lauren are next on the list but Nabel has not followed up with me as of yet Nabel is in Cancun with his family. We will keep those two spots open for now until Nabel gets back. Also, there are some new additions to this years crew. Most of you know Paul but have not yet met his fiance, Gabrielle. She will be joining us this year (after a weak excuse in '07 -- can't remember exactly what) and that is awesome because she brings a lot of good things to the table including a deep knowledge of fantasy baseball. Alli is Amanda's best friend from Rockville Center and she is coming with the hubby, Larry. Larry likes to knit drink and read party and is an Eagles Giants fan, he will also kick your my ass in trivial pursuit. Randi, Amanda and Ally's good friend, will be with us as well. She is damn funny and also like hamburgers.

Here's the deal. With 17 people the house will come to $450 pp if split evenly. We will have access to the house for 7 nights, from 12/26 - 1/2. I decided this is the best deal because I assume everyone will want to stay about five nights. That would be less then $100 pp per night. A better rate then in years past. I also figured that since we have the house for 7 nights people will be able to come and leave on a more flexible basis. And, of course, anyone has the option of staying the entire week.


Room Situation

There are six bedrooms in the house. Two of those bedrooms will accommodate four people and one will accommodate three people. First, we will accept volunteer couples for the sharing rooms (singles will have to share but all arrangements will be made with each persons comfort in mind). If no couples volunteer we will pick randomly. Everyone in a sharing situation will have their cost pro-rated. In fact, each room will have a different cost (IE. the 2 person master bedroom will be the most expensive and the loft will be the least expensive)

Payment Plan

Each person will be required to make an initial $200 payment by Friday 11/28. After we determine the rooming situation, sometime in mid-December, I will ask that the final payment be made. We need the full payment before we arrive because I will be required to pay in full upon arrival. If anyone is thinking about bitching about this plan please keep in mind that I have already made a $4000 down payment so I am probably not going to really give a shit. If you have a legitimate problem in paying the initial payment by 11/28 I will try to accommodate you.

Payment Method

You can pay two ways:

Pay Pal (there is a 7$ convenience/processing fee added to this by Pay Pal)
