We try to do two trips a year - one in November to commemorate our very first visit in Nov, ‘73, and the other in April to mark the time when we first started bringing our daughters with us. I think we’ve done every month of the year excluding only June, July and August when it’s usually beautiful here at home, and over the years, while some of them were just long 5 or 6 day long weekends, the trips have averaged anywhere from ten days to two weeks with an occasional 16 or 18 day stay. Sadly, DH still thinks ten days is a perfect trip so we do a lot of compromising on that one - him far moreso than me. 😊😊
