WHAT TO DO???? – OK
I just spoke to my daughter. She has a conference in NY on November 20th. She wants me to meet her there and then she would drive the rest of the way with me to Florida
My daughter by the way is studying in Florida so I will be with her all winter. I have been with my sons and grandchildren
The problem is that I planned to leave later – probably November 23.
PROS –
I would get to see my daughter.
I would get to be in New York and see some plays.
Of course I would do some shopping.
She would drive the rest of the way with me if I want.
CONS –
I would be leaving about five days earlier than I planned to.
I wouldn’t be able to babysit on the Friday when my grandchildren don’t have school.
I wouldn’t be able to stop at my friends on the way to Florida.
I wouldn’t have the freedom to do what I want on the way down.
I have to think about it but now that I have written these out I am sure that I will and should meet my daughter in New York.
So what is your two cents????
I dunno… you really really love your long trips on your own…I think you would miss having the drive by yourself, and the freedom to do whatever you wanted. And you WILL see lots of your daughter once you get down there! hugs, Weesprite

I think that it would be a good memory making experience to go with your daughter.

If it were me, I’d meet the the daughter. You could have a once in a lifetime trip together.

Go for the road trip with your daughter. This will be a wonderful time for the two of you to have one on one time and create some wonderful memories.

There are advantages to drive by yourself but there are even more advantages of going with your daughter. Besides, I would jump at the chance to see some plays in NY. I can only dream! I have taken 3 trips with my daughter and they are the ones that stand out in my memories.

you will have to make this choice on your own……only you know what is most important to you. hugs P

Which choice do you think you might regret making after all is said and done?

I too agree with those that said if you go with your daughter you might make some new, great memories together. It’ll be good bonding time in a new environment (I mean, the car, driving, NYC, etc).

time goes too fast…spend all the time you can with people that you love.

That would be an easy one for me. Mother/daughter time is so high on my list. I’d choose NY with my daughter. What’s 5 days? ~M

i don’t know… but, you probably will meet your daughter. besides, it would be exciting to be in new york for a day or so and see some of the sights there. i think your daughter wants to spend some time with you or she wouldn’t have called and asked you to meet her there. take care,

I always use the Pros/Cons list when trying to make a difficult decision. What does your gut feeling tell you after listing everything? Which one do you feel pulled to the most?
Warning Comment
I think it’s wonderful that your daughter wants to spend time with you in NYC! How often can that experience be repeated in the future? I’m sure the opportunity for solitary drives will occur again, but one-on-one time with your daughter in a fun city? And who knows, maybe she would enjoy visiting with your friends, too?

I was wondering if you and your daughter get along good? At least you have some time to think about it. Sorry I couldn’t be much help as I would feel the same way you do.. which should I do 🙂 Hugs and sweet dreams
