So, I just confirmed that my buddy, Sommer, will be flying out of Moline, IL through the same travel company I plan on going through. Because she's flying out of Moline, she can fly out on a Saturday... If I fly out of CR I'll have to fly out on a Monday.. Flying from Moline would have some perks but it would also have some draw backs. Same thing for flying out of CR.
Flying out of Moline Pros:
1. Could leave a day earlier than expected which means we could get more of our money's worth from our timeshares
2. Would also get two extra days in Florida.
3. Could keep the surprise to just our little family instead of making any Grandparents jealous that one set or the other got to see the look on the kids faces when they found out where they were going
Flying out of Moline Cons:
1. We'd have to drive to Moline vs. driving to CR
2. We'd only get 1 day back home to acclimate to being back vs. 2
3. We may or may not have to get a hotel room for one night (depending on when check in or check out is at certain time shares
4. We'd have to pay for long term parking ($35.00 a week)
Flying out of CR Pros:
1. The original plan I have for surprising the kids still sounds like a lot of fun
2. My in-laws could give us a lift to the airport therefore saving us gas money
3. And parking money
4. We'd get 2 days to acclimate back to being home vs. 1 day
Flying out of CR Cons:
1. We'd have to check in "late" to our timeshare, which just feels like a waste of money.
2. We'd also have to fly back on a Friday, which means we'd have to check out early from another timeshare... which also feels like a waste of money.
3. Chance that one set of grandparents will miss the surprise leading to a twinge of unhappiness.
4. Would have less time in Florida
hmmmm
