new year's shindig???

well just got word that my good friend Rohani will be celebrating the New Year's with us. we are supposed to head over to san francisco to meet my sister, brother in law and the rest of my relatives from south carolina but we are not sure if we will be able to do that because of Al's work schedule...what a bummer! so i have to make sure i plan something for new year's here in vancouver for back-up. for the last 2 years we have been hosting new year's at our place and this year we have decided to go all out to party and drink...and since my good friend will be in town it was just perfect timing...don't know how its like here in new year's cause it will be my first time so, i am now stuck for a venue to go to...any suggestions???...but i can tell you that Toronto and New York City is the place to be for the New Year's celebration...maybe next year!
