New Years on the Ocean

New Years on the Ocean

Location:Holden Beach
Anne and I have been mulling over New Years options for this year. We were thinking we could get a beach house (sleeps 20) on Holden Beach, NC. As some of you know, this is the same beach that Anne's mom has a house (unfortunately, it's already rented).

As always, all are welcome. We can rent a house for approximately $200/night. Which is dirt cheap with a group. We figured a 3-4 night rental. Anne and I are willing to make the house arrangements. We're also planning on chipping in a bit more loot since we won't have travel expenses.

Here's the catch, we need to get a rough idea of who might actually come down in the next two weeks. So talk amongst yourselves and make it happen.

Travel Options
-Fly to Raleigh, NC (Holden is 3-4 drive, and we could easily pick some people up on the way down)
-Fly to Wilmington, NC (1 hour drive)
-Fly to Myrtle Beach (1-2 hour drive)

Map of Holden

Here's a tentative List of Attendees (with Vegas Odds):
Anne (100%)
Geoffrey (100%)
Jason (90%)
Sonya (90%)
Matt R. (90%)
Kevin M. & Spouse (70%)
Ade (60%)
Kate (60%)
The Drake & Michael (45%)
Mark & Stephanie (35%)

A poor bet

I think 60% is too optimistic for Kate and I. Between two weeks in Ireland/Spain (11/12-11/28) and a trip back to AZ for Christmas, making another pricy trip would be pushing the budget pretty hard, to say nothing of the time off, etc.

BTW, Kevin's married to a nameless spouse?

% chance of New Yearsing it in Chicago?

Submitted by sundaykofax on Mon, 10/31/2005 - 18:39.

Considering the relative poorness of some of us, would it be both shocking and too late to suggest making this year the Chicago New Years year? I mean, I'm down. I am. But I'm also poor and stuff. I'd rather see Anne and Goff than kick it in Chicago without them, but some of my other favorite people (Kate&Ade, Shippy) are looking like a no.

Mmmm? Mmmmmmmmm?!

Another option would be to have a soiree in Champaign. And just as fun as Chicago. I swear.

Actual Dates

I know most of you are opting to not come, but we have enough people to go ahead with it. We've reserved the house from 30 Dec - 2 Jan for the $430 (total).

If you change your mind, let me know.
