Sigh. Given the opportunity, do you go to Orlando for two days (well, redeye landing Saturday morning, redeye out Sunday night) because the fates have aligned so you can have a last hurrah with your soon-to-be expat family? Or do you try to see them some other time and save your money for an Orlando trip later on?
I ask because... that seems to be the situation here. Tom's new gig (you'll love it but I'll let him tell you about it) will allow him to take that weekend (and pretty much that specific weekend only; fates aligned) off but no other days around it. I could take an extra day or two there, but I'm sad that I'd miss him, and that we'd be rushed trying to cram in his first WDW experience in just two days there. And not even two full days... I couldn't, for instance, take him to Boma one night and see IlllumiNations another night. (And I know better than to imagine we could swing both.)
But then, I am reminded that the trip isn't about him, it's about the expat family. I would really like to see them before they depart for Milan.
Nevertheless, we're just not a vacation-without-each-other couple, and those two days are going to be whirlwind. I probably have the vacation days available to go back, but we have broader travel interests than going to Orlando twice in one year.
