I'm seeking creative ideas on how to persuade my spouse that I simply must go to a travel meet in December. He didn't quite make vomit noises when I mentioned it, but looked a bit (not unduly) irritated/bewildered/annoyed by my desire to compete in meets. (He hasn't raced much lately.) The timing was likewise unappealing. Any thoughts?
I was contemplating calling my mother and begging for a visit.
Back to the thread, Fort, you went to coral springs and worlds. both were last year. and I am assuming the family did NOT come to FLA. But in terms of travel, you've not done any for over a year. I think you'd have a good argument on frequency.
Plus, also, you're only really gone for one day. You are home to see the kids off to school and can be there for when they get home, and maybe for dinner too. Then hop in the car and on a plane. Saturday you're away. Sunday, you swim and get on a plane and are home for dinner.
Exactly!
Er, the fam did come to Coral Springs to see the in-laws. I compromised by only swimming on Friday and Sunday and having family time on Saturday. Haven't travelled since August 2006. I'd be back Sunday night. I am so winning the frequency/deprivation debate. Muhahaha.
