Heh. That's actually kind of funnny. Before this degenerates into a study on metrosexuals, I'll say this.

Nothing wrong with massages/facials at a good spa - why should the women have all the fun?

And the fact is, we CAN spend all Saturday night gambling - I'm happy to do it. Just thought the minds on here might have some other ideas. Helicoptering is out, (he's a reporter for a local NYC station - you guessed it, the traffic/breaking news reporter.) A helicopter ride for him is like taking a financial analyst out in Vegas to crunch numbers.

I'm currently an AFF student, so a tandem skydive really doesn't do it for me. We're spending all morning/afternoon Saturday ATV'ing and Jet Skiing - I can't think of a better way to relax/get ready for a night out after a day like that than a massage and spa treatment. Like I said, it's not just for women.

And yes - Gambling could be a lot of fun - I just didn't want to lock us into it all night - Would much prefer to have a backup plan - or three.

PS: Not correct re: the facial - I've been to weddings where the groom/bride gives everyone in the immediate party facials/spa treatments the morning of. The breakout thing is a myth. I've had enough of them to know. (And I also run an 8 minute mile, with 11 marathons/4 olympic triathlons to my credit. Metrosexual? Sure. But one in damn fine shape.)
