OK, so here's the deal . . .Since we're on a short-term assignment, we only get one free trip home for both of us. Patrick has been able to go home a couple times because of his job, but it seemed kind of silly for me to go home by myself if I really didn't need to so. . .
Free trip (business class) to one lucky family member. Personally I don't think you can appreciate business class unless you've flown internationally on commoner class, but at least they'll be bitchy the next time when they're traveling with their parents and not get warm nuts - ha !
So like Kelly's visit to France, the lucky niece/nephew was Brian - son of my brother Michael, and his wife, Bonnie. Thought it would be a nice trip just before college.
So here's his story told through the perspective of his uncle. And for an even wackier take, you can actually go his blog for his side of the story (Brian, have you updated it yet, you know how your grandmother gets when she's out of the loop).
OK, back to the story . . .
