That is surprisingly important. These’s more to it than the guy above. No plans. We were planning to do a work/play trip to California beginning VERY early NYD, but a death in the family means my wife has to get there and back ASAP with no time for me or play. I’ll sit at home as is generally the case on New Years Eve. It can get sketchy out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had had ZERO to drink. Long line on a busy road. He asked where I was going. Home. What’s your address. Easy enough. He said you can go. I said “that was easy!”. He pointed to dozens of cars in an appliance store parking lot and said “those people couldn’t do what you just did.” YIKES! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Just another night. Working: 1800-0600. It's Holiday Bonus. Work (if you wanna call it that) 12 get paid for 24 hours. Start my run of 3 overnights tomorrow night. Off Thursday to Tuesday. Maybe do something then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Going out on NYE is rough. Never plan ahead well enough and then get jammed up with no reservations or long wait times. Can’t even do Chinese takeout on NYE given the wait times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I’m an Uber guy if I’m having a few pops. There is NO WAY ON EARTH I would pay for whatever that surge pricing might be. It’s just one night of the year. I think Times Square for NYE is in my Top Ten Nightmare scenarios! You would have to pay me a fortune to do that!

My gut tells me there are at least 3 more nights with way more drunks on the road 1) St Paddys day 2) Halloween weekend night 3) Super Bowl Those are the nights where maybe folks don't plan to get as liquored up, don't take the Uber TO the event, so feel the need to drive home FROM the event cause they have their car there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 usually we stay home and have dinner with friends, but my in laws offered to take the kids for a night, so we're going out. a nice hotel/spa by us has a package. the one we chose give us a room, dinner, open bar, live music, champagne toast and a brunch the next morning. i'm meh to the whole thing, but everyone that has gone loves it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Usually my wife and I cook a nice dinner and watch a movie together. Sounds simple, but it seems like these days everything requires an agreement and a commitment because preferences and priorities can vary significantly. This year our kitchen is out of commission with no sink or stove as we await a new countertop installation, scheduled for January 6. Maybe we’ll get takeout.

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hosting 3 other couples for a nice dinner & a whole bunch of wine. (After we put our 3 year old to bed that is) Doing 6 courses / pairings. Plenty of room at the inn so everyone will just crash here. Might go outside for a fire or hit the hot tub if it gets real crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 A quiet evening at home. For no explicable reason a car with a drunk driver winds up in my front yard about every ten years.

US Egg Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Wife & I spending it with our 5 & 6 y.o. grandkids while their parents cavort. We'll let them eat whatever they want and run around with them like crazy. I'll be shot early on and Mema will put the kids to bed and drive me home. That's when News Years indulging begins for us.
