Alarm: I must be getting soft - updated

This afternoon I ran across a slideshow of Top 10 Vacations for Bachelors at Forbes Traveller.

I skimmed through the first two destinations before deciding I could come up with something better on my own ... and do it in just one weekend for a lot less money.

Ha, pretend it's for a special occasion.

Friday Afternoon 6PM
10 minutes before I'm supposed to pick you up, I call your cell and explain my car's broken down ... and could you please pick me up at the intersection of Fant and River Street.

But when you show up there's a limo waiting to take us to Sona, which FF has thoughtfully arranged to have reserved ... entirely to ourselves.

After dinner we head for the marina, naturally, where Captain Mike escorts us to the fabled 1929 Christ Craft Commuter for a leisurely cruise around Apple Island.

The driver ignores the speed limit on our way back into town because being a gentleman, I promised to have you back home at a respectable hour.

Saturday Afternoon
Hot air balloon ride over The Electric City, en route to land at Hollywild ... where we'll hand-feed and pet real African lions.

Saturday Night
Don't worry about dressing up, because I'm doing the cooking. Afterwards we'll spend the rest of the evening with a coal fire ... listening to the wind rush through the chimney, imagining the stories it's trying to tell us.

Sunday
The six.

See? The Perfect Bachelor Weekend.
