Thanks for the link! It is nice to have confirmation TSA shouldn't be an obstacle.

Probably the overhead; I really don't see where to put it being a problem.

The BOS staff are pretty great. (Odds of all this working are much lower if you don't rent the room... you're not even supposed to have outside food.)

Thanks for all the club suggestions; I am seriously considering the conference room idea.

Interesting suggestion; maybe I will do this.

We aren't the loud and noisy party type. We don't drink much and care about people around us. If we do anything on the plane, it will be brief and mindful of others.

Someone unthread said “unless you are shouting,” well I’m not sure you will be able to avoid shouting under those circumstances (and if you do avoid shouting it doesn’t seem like much of a celebration).
Good point.

Perfect!
