I live in UK but grew up 8 time zones away.
Large extended family, all back there, I've very fond of but not truly close to, iyswim.
I have missed many family events in last 16 years since I started having DC.
Now invited (back there) to a cousin's wedding, in 10 weeks.
I am sure it will be a splendid fabulous shindig fun wedding.
Costs are cheap enough once I'm there, but flight+travel will cost £1000.
Realistically I can only go for one week.
Possibly I could take (ingrate feckless... polite, needs to be out of his comfort zone, can be fun) eldest teenager with me. Not other DC. Other DC will be ok about that, I reckon. So that's £2000, a single months' salary for me.
Teenager & I may both be bored unless we start spending more money...
DH has said he's ok about me going (he can juggle other kids).
I suppose I "can" afford it. But it's a shedload of money for 7 days.
I hate spending money. Though I know it's only money.
Would you go?
