ok boys and girls this is what I am proposing.......the Summer Carnival we have in town is during the third week in August....the Parade itself is on a Thursday....so I am proposing doing the 4th annual SBHOnline get together during that week....either the day before or the day after the Parade......our Carnival and Parade is like nothing else you will ever see anywhere ...nothing even comes close...here is a peek into some of what goes on and this is the tamer stuff...

how many traffic cops in your town direct traffic this way?

anyway weigh in on what you think about that time period...we can't work it around Buffett this year as he is coming after Labor Day and I will be gone...so if this doesnt work...shoot out some ideas...I've had some interest from people on the forum coming from a distance so the earlier we can nail this down...the better for them
as usual there will be a harbor cruise with drinks and apps, followed by a dinner somewhere

Mike,
We'll take you up on it, Buddy---count Caroline and I IN, after final clearance from her schedule.
Should not be a problem this far out..unless this new Doc who is supposed to start in July 1 on her staff gets killed in Iraq, prior to the end of his Army Reserve tour sometime in June.
Someone tell me, what are we doing over there anyway? Better yet, no..
Looks like fun!
We'll fly to BOS and rent a car for the long weekend.
Want the ENTIRE P-Town experience: hiking along the dunes, Captain Miker's boat, dining on NE seafood, parade, jazz, and of course the beach.
It's unfortunate, but we'll miss that whole "Parrothead" scene, maybe some other time?

Not certain we could keep up with those folks and I wonder how they all feel the next day?
Jeff

look at taking the puddle jumper from BOS to P Town and renting a car in P Town...the drive from BOS to P town has no redeeming value....tons of traffic.... a 125 mile U shaped two hour drive when the roads are clear....the flight is 20 minutes ...straight line....25 or so miles
here is the link http://www.flycapeair.com

Hey Jeff- you do not- do not- want to drive from Logan Airport to P-town. It will take you hours of grief. In addition to the puddle jumper, there is a fast Ferry- 90 minutes- from Boston to P-Town.
