TRIP'S USA TRIP

[Suu]

holy cow that is incredibly small 

I could theoretically do all the places in one day if I really wanted to (which I don't)

Cool, so going from one place to another will be a breeze.
Walking is something I really enjoy. We walked the length of Manhattan just for the hell of it. (in the rain) The less driving I have to do the happier I am.
Shit. This should be a lot of fun.

LMNO- you gonna hang?

There is no shortage of shit to do here, which is why I'm against the house idea for now, especially since we're narrowing it down to a 4 day weekend. If you guys come in on Friday, we GOTTA go to the Ratskeller (German Club bar), and that leaves us with 3 full days. Boston is one full day. Providence CAN be a full day depending on what you want to see, and the ocean/beach is going to be 3-4 hours to get down there, see the water, ooh, ahh, get clam cakes, doughboys and chowdah, and head back up. So it's going to go really fast.

If ya'll come in on Thursday night, we can spend Friday in Providence, Saturday in Boston. Drive down to the beach on Sunday morning, head over to Connecticut for a night at the house and BBQ Monday if they let us stay to do it. That's one option.

There's also places like Newport or Mystic to consider as well.

........We didn't even think about trying to get a place down in the Nizzle Pizzle Newport. That could be even MORE ridiculous.

LMNO- you gonna hang?

Possibly.  I'm gonna have to play it by ear.

I'm gonna try to smuggle a bunch of homebrew in my suitcase and cigar city is having a special release the weekend before so i have to bring some of that.

A Bostonian Saturday works perfect for me of course, and I see no reason not to spend a Friday in Provvy.

I would top that if I had a pic of a statue of John Winthrop. I'll have to suffice with a painting then.

COME TO PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS! WE LET JEWS AND CATHOLICS IN HERE! ESPECIALLY IF BOSTON OR PLYMOUTH KICKED YOU OUT!

Why would those Indians name themselves after such a horrible beer??

Said tribe also is not a recognized nation under the federal government, since they sold all their land willingly to RI or some shit. Which is why the smoke shop was raided...or some shit. I dunno. Narragansetts are assholes. The Wampanoags are where it's at, yo.

I just checked - The Stage Coach Inn is still available for Memorial Day Weekend.

If we're interested, this would be the breakdown...

$350 per night

gets us 5 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms.


If we end up having 10 people (off the top of my head ... me, eve, suu, richter, trip, torte, squid, mr. squid, rat, sjaante) --- that's only $35 per night apiece. If we end up spilling over, there's probably enough crash space in the living room that we could fit some more people in.

and look at this sweet grill space:



BAD ASS



---PLEASE NOTE: this doesn't exclude hanging out in providence too!

hi, some more travel info from us for you.

So, Trip and me narrowed down some flight options (on the whereabouts of INTERNET FLIGHT BOOKING HELL)
The cheapest option is with Swiss Air with a stop-over in Zürich:
- Arrival at sunday the 22nd of May at New York JFK at 15:50 h
- Departure from Boston on thursday the 9th of June at 21:40 h.
The most fun option is via Madrid, where we can spend a day on our way back with a hell of a jetlack eating paella en drinking mojitos. 
Money talks, so it probably will be Swiss Air.




Perhaps it is a good idea to rent the house a.s.a.p.? Otherwise it WILL be taken on Memorial Day. Just saying. Who is going to organize this? And when/where do we pay for this stuff anyway? On the weekend itself or in advance? Since in America one pays everything with a creditcard, how do you split money? If it's in advance, will somebody be in charge of collecting the money?
More important: are we staying one (29/5 - 30/5) or two (28/5 - 30/5) nights?




Another question on car rental. Maybe you could help us by telling if this a good deal:
I have two car options (two weeks, fr the 27th of May untill thr 9th of June), incl. full insurance coverage and no-risk policy:
- Via Wow Car Rental, a Pontiac G5 for $ 600.
- Via Alamo, a Nissan Versa for $ 620.
Both companies are located at F. Green Arpt. 2053 Post Road, 2886 Providence.
What do you think? I will, by the way, book the car in advance in Europe, cause the insurance is more clear in case something happens.

If you need a vehicle in which we squeeze 7 people, we can rent a Dodge Caravan. For $60 pp we can arrange this for you.
[ ($900-$600)/5 = $60 ]

This sounds cool!

Cool, so going from one place to another will be a breeze.
Walking is something I really enjoy. We walked the length of Manhattan just for the hell of it. (in the rain) The less driving I have to do the happier I am.
Shit. This should be a lot of fun.

Yeah, I don't mind walking at all either. Dutchbag's got long legs

But--the length of Manhattan is like .. 20km (12.5mi), that would take at least 5 hours at a comfortable pace?

Still sounds like fun though, but including stops and breaks, it's a full-day expedition

LMNO- you gonna hang?

Yes LMNO, how's your ear playing already?

we GOTTA go to the Ratskeller (German Club bar)

What kind of German Club is this? More like the Kraftwerk U96 Das Boot 123 Tekno () or does it specialise in Lederhosen, Oktoberfest and Schlagermusik and stein-carrying wenches ( / / / / ) ?

I found a car rental comparing site called:

It's the German American Cultural Society. http://www.gacsri.org/

They have a bar in the basement called the Ratskeller, which is open to the public on Friday nights. They serve tasty German import beer cheap and they have food there and such. There's also a group of old men that sing amazing traditional songs and the occasional accordion. They've been trying to get General Stuart to sing with them now for about a year. They also help me with my language studies and have been pretty awesome about it and don't laugh TOO hard when I screw up.

For you guys, it's probably pretty meh, but for us, it's a lot of fun, considering some of those beers we can't get on tap anywhere else, ESPECIALLY at the prices they charge ($3-$5 depending on the brew.) They also have a pool table and darts. It's really relaxed and casual and beats going out to a TGI Fridays or something horribly cliche.

If you don't want to spend the money with a car rental, we can work around it. There's a lot of public transportation between New York and Boston.
