Doxory?

fyfer has decided I'm going to Scotland for a month of fife stuff. That's a long time to be gone. I need to fly from SF to Boston to meet up with the group for the flight to Edinburgh.

It'll be nice to see friends. And the earlier itinerary was $90 cheaper, so I saved the group some money. I sort of wish I'd gone with the later day, though.

My choice: Get to Boston a day and a half early and visit friends ? Might as well grab the chance while I have it.

Any brilliant advice would certainly be appreciated. Shameless advocacy is often good, too.

If you're gone a month, what difference does an extra day and a half make? Besides, budgeting extra time is usually a good idea.

If you're not back here often, better to combine the two. An extra day and a half won't really hurt against a month, honestly.

a single day won't be an issue.

A month is a long time, but will one more day matter?

What's a day and a half next to a month? Also, this makes any delay-related problems less possible.

If I was a good friend, living near Boston, hadn't seen you in a while, and found out you were as close as the airport, and you didn't drop by, I'd be all, "like wtf is up with that?" But if you did drop by, I'd be really pleased that you'd taken the time to factor in our friendship into your travel plans and would consider you to be one of my best long distance friends ever. And like be totally willling to loan you money years down the road should you need it to help finance your purchase of that Scottish castle you fell in love with.

Arrive the night before we leave (flight is at 6:40 pm) and keep things simple? A month is already a really long time away from work & home.

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
