Not sure what's weird about a solo weekend away to do as you please, when you please. Ive more than earned it this year for reasons I won't discuss here. Free flight + Free hotel...she's not contributing a cent.
...but I can't wait. Can gambol, explore, & play all day long with no worries about her being "bored", which was the case last time. It's just not her scene there, and I felt rushed/guilty pretty much the entire time, so I'm going back to enjoy at my own pace.
Smartly Booked her a trip to Portland in December to see a friend, then told her in the next breath I was going back to Vegas for unfinished business on an upcoming weekend, she gets it -- gave her blessing, just said I can't invite ABH (which I already had)
She loves the guy, btw...maybe her favorite. She just knows that's a bad idea considering we almost die every time we are together...in Louisville or Cincy. And she's probably right.
