Man, time flies! So, if you were going on a trip for 7 days to a new city and meeting new people, what are you essential packing items? :D

6. LOL!
Way to make use of the new smileys! Very impressive. Hopefully they'll be a few juicy details I'll share with you (about other DUers of course). We all know I'm innocent. :D

12. maybe another time
I try to save my vacation time this year so I can visit my bf when he goes to school next year in the States (another six months seperation).

But I bet it will be a lot of fun. Take pics and post them ... the embarrasing ones of course :) (gosh, I have a dirty mind :hide:)

15. Sure will!
I'm sure I'll regret bringing a camera (or others having one). I tend to be a huge flirt when I'm drunk.

14. Take a jacket
the nights are cool outside from the coastal winds.

The closest I've been was a month in winter (Feb.) in Newport, RI for a Navy school some years ago. Hated the place, hated winter, loved the seafood! :9

Just because you're on vacation doesn't change the fact that there's still...











No doughnut for you! :P


Don't forget to workout!

32. Well, I need a break.
And since there is a DU meet-up that weekend, it was a perfect opportunity! I've never met fellow DUers and it sure sounds like the Boston bunch knows how to party. Plus, there's a friend that I've gotten to know better that really makes the trip even more appealing.

And you have a much better work ethic than I do! :D lol

43. Sounds like fun
and you'll have more time for Boston. Sorry you missed Atlanta, but sounds like you'll have a better time there.

When you're my age, working out gets VERY important. (Even tho' I get hit on by 20-something young ladies on occasion. ;) )

41. I certainly have the time and I heard that Boston is wonderful.
I'll bring my little gas saver, the tracker and leave Frodie and the big truck at home.

I'm not so sure the hotel would be thrilled with Frodie :D Especially since he talks! How long would you want to stay?

49. I always ask if pets are allowed.
Before I try to check in with a parrot, it's easier.

I did sneak her in once :blush: but it was too stressful for me. I was heading south and wanted to take the Chesapeake Bridge and Tunnel. I couldn't find any place along the way that would welcome us both :dilemma: so I made the best of it.

Gay mans rule of thumb for packing:

<(number of vacation days) x (3)> x <5 outfits> = packing list

:)

Essentials? Hair dryer and chapstick! hehe...

So where are you heading to babe?

I just got back from a long weekend in Miami for the music conference. I packed for 2 weeks...lol My boyfriend is still pissed.

looks like someone has a plan for when she gets to Boston. I think this occasion calls for a speech of some sort (birds and bees and maybe the "don't forget the car cover" speeches?) lol... :D

I'd be the sole gay man sticking out.

I could ask the ball and chain if he's up for it though. Worth a try :)

I don't have any flip flops either...so this would be a good excuse to get some :)

Maybe a t-shirt:

"I spent less than an hour in the Minneapolis airport"
