I replied to your note about the car rental. We settled on a midsize SUV because we need trunk space for the cooler and beach chairs. The drop-off location is by the ferry terminal, so we can walk right on. I’ll pick it up Thursday afternoon and meet you at the dock by 4:30. Let me know if you want to switch to a minivan instead—the rate difference is only a few dollars per day.
We also need to confirm dinner reservations for Friday. There’s that new seafood spot near the pier that has good reviews, but they might be fully booked. I can call ahead and see if they have a table for six. Alternatively, we can grab something quick and eat on the beach if the weather cooperates.

Regarding the party next weekend, I think we should keep the menu simple—maybe a barbecue with burgers and chicken skewers. I can bring the grill and some charcoal. Do you have a preference for sides? I was thinking coleslaw and potato salad, maybe a fruit platter. Also, let's check if anyone has dietary restrictions. I can ask Sarah to bring her famous bean salad. If the weather turns cold, we can move inside; your living room has enough space. Let me know what time you want everyone to arrive. I’ll send out a group message once we finalize the plan. Also, don't forget to pick up extra plates and napkins because we always run out. I think we have enough coolers for drinks. Maybe we can set up a small fire pit in the backyard if it’s allowed. I’ll check with the building manager.
