I think we should plan for the Saturday morning departure instead of Friday evening. The traffic is usually lighter and we can grab breakfast along the way. I checked the trail conditions and they mentioned the upper loop is still muddy from recent rain. We should bring waterproof boots just in case. I looked at cabin availability and there are options left near the trailhead. The one with a fireplace looks nice but may be more than we wanted to spend. Let me know what you think about the budget and we can decide. I can drive if needed, my car has better clearance for the dirt road.
We also need to figure out who is bringing what gear. I have a tent that sleeps three and a portable stove. If someone else can bring the cooking supplies and food, we should be set. Let me check the weather forecast again closer to the date.

Your Marriott Stay — A Note From Our Team
|
| |
|
Because you stayed with us or at a Marriott partner hotel in the past year, we would like to offer you a
luxury cooling pillow set — two pillows, provided at no charge to you. After completing a short
questionnaire, you may also claim a 2-night stay at select locations, also at no charge.
You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights.

|
This program is our way of thanking past guests. One pillow set per household is available, and total
allocation is capped at 800 sets. After you complete the brief questionnaire, you will receive details
on how to claim your 2-night stay at participating locations — no purchase needed and no charges
applied. Access to stay dates and locations is based on program scheduling. The offer ends tomorrow.

I finished reading that novel you suggested and really enjoyed the character development. The way the author described the coastal setting made me feel like I was there. Some parts felt slow in the middle but the ending tied everything together. I plan to start the sequel this weekend if I can find quiet time. The writing style reminds me of that other book we discussed. Have you watched any author interviews online. I saw one where they talked about the research process and it added context to the story. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys thoughtful fiction.
Let me know if you have already started another book you think I might like. I am always looking for good recommendations and trust your taste.
