Plan plan plan [August 29, 2008]

We (L 99%, Russian 1%) have a couple of plans for this year's labor day
long weekend:

1. Go to Chicago and grab bunch of bento (Japanese lunch boxes)
2. 3-day hike
3. Drive to Winconsin Dells
4. Laying low (staying home and play games - so paparazzi would not be able to take our pictures, and we don't spend too much money after the Big Indo vacation we just took - that's the 1% input from Russian). It was a good thing that Russian is only donating 1% planning, otherwise we will have more not-fun/geeky plans.

But I lean toward option#2 -- really want something totally different for that weekend. I knew about the camp from Pra, so I contacted her and got all the info. We just had to attend the pre-trip meeting and buy all the equipment for Hiking (which probably will cost
both of us around $400). Yes yes, it does sound a little cheap for all those over-priced
hiking things, but that's because of the brilliant idea: borrow hiking tents/bags from co-workers and share kitchen tools!!!

But just 40 minutes before the meeting, Pra informed me that the trip had been canceled due to the restrictions in the area, a.k.a. the Kekekabic trail being closed. The hiking club would hike Eagle Mountain instead (so it wouldn't be as extensive as the 42-mile Kekekabic).

Till now, I don't know what is the plan is, and when will we leave. Really want this camping though : (
