Hotels
There are several hotels in the area that offer reasonable rates:
Fairfield Inn Boston Dedham * Rate is $99 a nite * Free breakfast * High speed wired internet access in rooms (doesn't say if it's free or not) * (Kris) This is the hotel that I originally reserved a block of rooms at (under the name "Summit") but when I saw that the Travelocity rate was the same as the discounted rate, I canceled the reservation. So do NOT ask for our block — just make your own reservations * (Kris) Looks a bit cheaper if you book flight and hotel together.
Residence Inn Bostom Dedham * Rate is $129 a nite * Fully-equipped kitcken * Free breakfast * High-speed wireless internet access in rooms (doesn't say if it's free or not) * (snadra) I've had great luck with Residence Inn in the past.
Holiday Inn BOSTON-DEDHAM HTL & CONF CTR * Rate is $85 a nite * High-speed internet access in rooms * No free breakfast * Microwave and mini fridge * Recreation Center w/ board games, arcade games, pool tables, & ping pong

Potential Activities
Baseball game
- (Dave) Beckie and I are really up for the baseball thing if there is enough interest from others.
- (snadra) me too!
- (jpayne) The Pawtucket RedSox are home that weekend too if you just want baseball and not majors. If not, Melissa got tickets for a Yankee's/RedSox game at Fenway on the day of the game, so Angels/Sox should be doable :)
- (rachel) i am as capable of drinking beer in the sunshine as anyone!
- (chime) Fenway!!!
- (slather) All else fails we can stand outside Yawkey way wearing Yankees gear.
Drinking
- (rachel) cheesy and i have a drinking date. all weekend.
- (jpayne) this item ends up on every summit list for some reason. i'd like to figure out why some day.
- (imzadi) Kentuckians, please bring some good bourbon.
- (slather) I may well step off the plane loaded folks because that's just the best thing about flying.
BBQ / picnic somewhere nice in the area?
- (rachel) hurray, summit! hmm, i like the idea of the culinary tour, but for $48, lunch should be included... i'm not sure why it costs so much. for that price, i'd rather just go out to a good restaurant or get ingredients from the markets on the north end and spend $48 on food to cook for everyone at jpayne's house :)
- (chime) I am totally in favor of giving rachel $48 to cook for me! :) I will be in charge of making the signs for everyone's hotel room doors.
- (snadra) Maybe two or three people could go on the tour and then learn all the good stuff, then spend money for everybody and have a big Italian goodie feast!
- (rachel) ooh, i am up for this, i love dem fishies :)
- (snadra) Great idea! We could also combine it with the picnic idea above, and maybe even have tons of Italian snacky foods :)
- (chime) I am sensing an Italian theme here :)
Nudie Bar
- (imzadi) "Centerfolds":http://www.centerfoldsboston.com/ has a decent "review":http://stripclubs.naughtynightlife.com/massachusetts/strip_club.asp?NavStateCode=MA&NavCityID=363&clubid=3029
- (jpayne) I'm reliably told that Boston clubs SUCK. Providence isn't all that far from Milton.
- (imzadi) The race won't be happening this weekend, but we could pretend! effendi could be our tour guide.
- (rachel) current plan is to get tickets for tour leaving at 11am from the prudential center.
- (slather) duck tours rock
- (sandra) Add your name to the list below if you are positive you want to go on the Boston Duck Tour at 11am on Friday. (Someone in Boston might buy you a ticket locally, so this list is for real)
- Sandra

Whale Watching

Summary / Comments
Now that summit is over, feel free to record your memories by adding your summary and/or comments below!
<snadra> What a great summit weekend! We went to the aquarium and saw jellyfish, then went to Fenway and didn't see a baseball game. We were too late to ride the Ducks, but we did ride the 'T' and mostly avoided the rain. I got my maple walnut ice cream and we had a mountain of onion rings and the Lobster Special (it's a Lobster!) at a Mexican Irish Pub. We lost Yosh, we almost didn't see Elric, and we moved Cheesy. Can't wait to do it again next year!
