Thanks!
Just be careful, on that day if you're anywhere downtown it's possible you'll run into roving bands of gym instructors. If you encounter them be aware it's compulsory to do 10 push-ups, 20 sit-ups and half a dozen star jumps. Practicing your golf swing on the platform with your umbrella is also particularly encouraged. Just a heads up.
