Yes, this is backwards. First, make reservations. Second, get invitation.
Of course the invitation came first. Peter said, come for an extended stay, like two months.
I said, when are you going to be free? Spring break?
He took a look and said yes, he would be back from working in Japan by Mar 1.
So I had to go check out flight availability for Mar 1 before saying yes. And that led to the reservations, on the spot.
I also asked him if being there in May would be as good, or even better. But it turns out they go birding for the entire month of May. Better for us to vist earlier.
They're super-intense about birding, he and Amanda are, and we'd never keep up.
Another question was why he wanted us to come at all. He reminded me of the many places we were going to visit in 2020 that are still waiting for us. Yes, some, like Hungary, are off the list, but he found a concert in Vienna we could go to.... Back then we had ideas about seeing Berlin. And ... well, the new list will evolve and appear here soon.
After all, March 1 is only 2 months from today.
