Yay Bev and Mr. Bev! That's wonderful and excellent and we'll be there with bells on, any night at all.
Since airline prices have now dropped like mad, Zmayhem in Seattle is starting to look just possibly possible. It's still looking more likely that it'll be just one of us, though, due to budget and scheduling issues; and since one of those scheduling issues is that it's right around the start of baseball tournament season, it's possible that the just one might be me. Hec thinks that whoever goes, either me or him, should go alone and the at-home person keep Matilda, which seems both sensible and completely impossible. An entire solo weekend? Surely it cannot be done. I'm not completely sure I even exist apart from her anymore.
Thoughts or advice from other parents who've sprogged and F2F'd, or just sprogged and traveled at all, solo or with kid?
As one who has done 2 F2F's with Em, I say go it without. While it would be awesome to see her, it would impede upon your abilities to have an truly awesome, kid-free vacation and debauchery.
I have no sprog and hence no idea, but it strikes me that the F2F could be one heck of a travelswithchild blogfest...
Well, it's not like you couldn't find a babysitter for a little kid-free debauchery ...
Aww, man, I would LOVE to see sproglets up that weekend. PLAYDATE!
I will possibly have sprog this time. They might even be enticed to babysit, but the sprog would end up addicted to WoW. It is so much easier to travel with teens that are perfectly happy to be left alone in hotel rooms as long as there is internet access.
If I attend this year it will probably be
sans bebe
due to the high cost of travel. I think I can get myself there with frequent flyer miles, but not myself plus spouse & child.
FWIW, I would love to see Buffista-sprog at the F2F, even if it's not sure that I can go, with my jobfree state and all.
::paying taxes in the same state Theo is::
If I can make it, I know I wouldn't consider the experience complete without a Matilda sighting.
