From your recent Marriott booking, a thank-you gift

I was thinking about the best way to organize our weekend trip. We could leave Friday evening to avoid traffic, but then we might miss the sunset hike. Alternatively, leaving early Saturday means we have the whole day but the trail will be busier. I checked the weather and it looks clear Saturday afternoon. We should probably book the campsite soon because the popular ones fill up quickly. Let me know what you think about the itinerary. I also need to confirm who is bringing the tent and who handles the meals. We have to decide on a backup plan in case it rains. The forecast says sunny, but mountain weather changes fast.

We still need to finalize the guest list for the party. So far I have about twelve people confirmed, but a few might bring plus ones. That could push us to sixteen or seventeen. The space at the loft should handle that, especially if we use the outdoor balcony. I was planning a simple finger food menu with maybe a charcuterie board and some dips. Drinks will be self-serve with a mix of sodas, iced tea, and a small selection of wines. Let me know if you want to add anything else. Also, you said you would handle the playlist, right? Keep it upbeat but not too loud. We can start setting up around three in the afternoon.
