I did the same thing - lol - found out DGrD(8) (that I watch after school and on Saturdays) has off that Thurs, Fri and Monday. I said to DH "why would I NOT go to florida?"
We are also out of DVC points for the year - but I was able to get a great AP rate at POP that made me feel better about the higher 'holiday' airfare. We already have our tickets and I don't have to rent a car (love ME). I have never stayed at a value - when my grown kids were young CBR was the lowest priced resort and then we joined DVC. I know DGrD will love POP - and I will keep reminding myself that I could be sitting at home in the cold instead of walking and swimming in the sunshine
. I asked DH if he would like to come and he also said " uh.... NO" LOL So we are leaving him home- girls trip.
I am so glad your DS is excited - I also wanted to surprise DGrD, but told her about our last minute trip that weekend so she wouldn't get there and get homesick for her mom (we are leaving right from school) - I wanted her to make that decision, too - but she is ecstatic and calls me every day with the "Oma, we only have _ more days" countdown. Enjoy!
PS: I have a late-life DS who was basically raised as an only child and I know we almost always included his input for all our travel - maybe it's more of an only child thing - I don't think we gave the girls the same options - too many opinions
. He's a wonderful young adult now and there's no sign that he thinks he runs anything here at home. He is, however, amazing at planning and enjoying his travels.
