Talk, talk, talk. Sometimes I feel that we talk about visiting family and then it goes to - "we'll talk about it again in a month or so" mode. Not this time. We are biting the bullet and trying out how well this "working remote" thing really is. Mister has taken some Friday/Monday days of vacation (plus a holiday thrown in) and will be setting up a small office for the remaining three days each week. We have THREE WEEKS to make our way north and back before I have another commitment. If this works out well for him, I see it happening more often.
Once the decision was made to actually give this a try -- the packing and planning began. People were called and schedules made. It's not a "touristy" trip as we are well aware of the situation in the world right now. It is a "family" trip and just seeing family and spending time together is enough. At the last minute, Mister decides to leave Friday after work and drive straight through. We are outta here.
