I was seriously considering putting the bike in the back of my truck and heading to south Florida for the new year. I even checked hotel rates and availability. My brother told me a couple of days after I started considering it that he and his family would be going abroad for the Christmas and New Years holidays.
My mother is older and can take care of herself for the most part but I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her by herself during the holidays with everyone being so far away (even though if she knew I was considering it, she would probably insist I go). So now she gets stuck with having to deal with me for the holidays.
Maybe I will do it next year. I say go for it.
