Connecting your shops for a night out

Has anyone been able to connect their shops for a fun night out? I'd love to hear about it. I am hopefully to do a restaurant shop, then a sporting event and finish the night with a hotel stay. Thank you.

That would be difficult

Ha ha. No.

It would probably be easier to find a hotel stay that also includes dinner.

Unfortunately that 'fun night out' would turn into a 'long night writing reports'. On occasion we combine lunch and a movie or do a movie, then dinner. This gets us home with time to do the reports in a timely manner.

I've done it before. But I made sure I took the time to grind out narratives as soon as things happened. Still ended up going out, checking out the scene and enjoying my time out.

Just manage your time well and have the awareness on knowing the amount of reporting time you need to budget to produce a timely, acceptable report for all your projects.

Shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado. 33 year old male and willing to travel!

I've combined a movie theater shop followed by a dinner shop with a hotel check-in wedged in between. Movie and dinner had a 24-hour turnaround while the hotel had 36 hours. I had plenty of time for drinks and dancing at a nightclub within walking distance of the hotel. After checking out the next day, throw in a quick retail shop and a gas audit on the way home. Good preparation, time management and staying organized are key.

I do it all of the time, but not including a hotel. Those are enough work on their own and almost always include drinks/dinner.

I'll often combine a restaurant with a parking shop nearby or even at the restaurant. I had a shop a few months back that was a taxi comparison shop which required thee different taxis, so I paired it with a restaurant diner and another bar shop, since I wasn't driving. I've done ones where I also had a movie, or a nightclub, or bowling with a dinner. There's also a late night dining shop in L.A. that they always need shoppers for where you have to get breakfast after 1 AM, so I'll combine that with late night bar shops since it usually is well bonused. Best combination though is combining those nights out with a drycleaning shop so I have have a clean pressed shirt to go out in...

I love, love, love the middle of the night breakfast. 1 AM is still a little too early in the "evening" for breakfast. 3 AM or 4 AM is the magic hour. Lots of interesting characters to observe; perfect entertainment.

The breakfast hours are actually 1 AM to 4 AM, but I show up at 1 AM so I can get Bailey's in my coffee. They stop serving liquor at 2 AM in CA....

There is one scheduler that frequently sends out emails saying that there is a great opportunity for a night out in a bar and not have to drive afterward. Trouble is that all is done to combo these up is to have a bar plus any hotel in the same city. In reality, the two are about a 30 minute drive which would be too far to walk and should not be done after a night out in a bar (unless had a designated driver).

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.

I just thought of the perfect combination of shops. Take the infamous sex store shop for a fun evening and then take the church service shop to ask for forgiveness (or thank God!) for the previous night!

LOL and could even be done in Nevada for extra credit (services).
