I agree sounds like fun....would really be great if we could find a few locals to lead small groups...
Nick
...But what day? Some of us are thinking about a baseball game possibly on Monday. (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=27488.0)

Please, Please, Please! If this is something you are interested in, please speak up. Even if you are not interested, speak up! I need to hear from more than just 8 out of 20 something people attending. If the group wants to confirm this I have to place a small deposit to hold the date.
If this is something the group does not want to partake in, then I have to find an alternate tour. It's getting close to departure and I have many loose ends to tie up.
Thank you for your prompt response.
...and for some of us possibly a baseball game....
(Who's still game either way.)
Before anyone picks me for a team...
I have no logistical skills, I get lost going from my bedroom to my kitchen. Analytical skills are just as poor with riddles as my downfall.
On the upside I tag along quite well :)

Edit to add: If Nick and Bocker are on the same team, they could call themselves (drum roll please)
The Nickerbockers
Is the cost of the tour now $40 since it includes lunch?
edited to get to the point faster.
are we having brunch the same morning? Not speaking for everyone, but I'm a light eater (especially if we're having brunch then I certainly don't need a heavy lunch.) Can we opt out of the lunch or just have chips to go with the beer? Am I getting too pissy here? I'm sorry.

...Will we need a polaroid camera to take the pictures, or just scroll through pictures on the digital camera?

Or perhaps, someone would like to nominate someone as a team captain.
Let's start with 4 captains with teams consisting of 4 or 5 people.
Dennis
I have a suggestion. Instead of picking people - I have this insane picture of elementary school team pickings with the last-man-standing syndrome - why not draw numbers from a hat? All the 1's together, all the 2's, ect. Totally random and a great (or disasterous) way to get to know one another.
There are a few couples (triples) in the group that will probably want to stay together: The Davids & Bonnie, Hubby, me and Mim, Jan and RAB. Perhaps those groups should be the "base" teams and everyone else could draw numbers (or names, whatever).
Or, when we get there, we could just grab the people standing the closest to us and go.
Mum
Ciao,
Dennis
Who's chuckling at Jan and Rab as a couple. ;D
I'll suggest these members as Captains:
Mum & Mini, Bocker, Nick, & Razorbill.
I suspect those four will have the most knowledge of Boston.
RAB ;D
Like Robert, I got a bit confused on the 10 am brunch at Fritz, followed by a noon tour w/lunch. Moved to Sunday instead?......is it official?
Mike
Lunch after our scavenger hunt will be at FiRE + iCE Grill & Bar and will be all you can eat.
Those below haveconfirmed thus far. It's idea to have at least one person with logistical skills and another with analytical skills (good at solving riddles). Maybe even come with a team name or team shirts.

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in this thread until now. Santi and I would rather not do a scavenger hunt. Saturday afternoon might be a good time for us to visit Hull, which is where the first house I remember living in still stands, across the street from Stony Beach. Santi loves the ocean.
Again, my apologies for not responding earlier. I've been avoiding.
I just want to be on the winning team so I can brag about it.. ;D
Hugs
Jan :-*
I think what Jan is saying here, is that she wants to be on MY team........... :D

HA!
Shirley you jest.

Mike - another team :o I am so NOT feeling the love :'(
Mum (who will NEVER admit that in her latest "mum" magazine there is an article about said "Freedom Trail" as well as a description about the sites and scenery - along with a map. Why won't she mention it? Because, on the very SLIM chance that she loses, she'd feel really stupid)
I'm starting to have some serious doubts about some of these team captains. ;)
Good grief! I'm not getting ANY love from ANYbody.
Mike
(who must admit that there are areas the Trail goes through that I know very little about..........)
Good grief! I'm not getting ANY love from ANYbody.
Who wonders about the possibility of bribing the tour guide! ???
This looks like one of those deals where we could get voted off the island.... better be on our most collegial behavior!
What tour guide? There is no tour guide. Has anyone seen the Amazing Race?
GASP!
So you're going to unleash a group of HIV + fools onto the streets of Boston without supervision?
You know dang well what kind of trouble we can get into. :o
Are you mad? ::)
RAB ;D
OK, I got to the RAB calling people out message and clicked reply. I think I'm going up to Maine with a Boston friend on Saturday, so as Mad Mad Mad Mad World as it sounds a scavenger hunt on the same day with you guys is probably out for me.
Trying to catch up on everything else. Where is the baseball game thread........
