We had joked last week that we'd come back for the festivities and every day this week we would start by researching options to get there (flights range from $570 to $5864...very reasonable). After we decided that was out of the question, we would continue on with our day and then by about 6pm it would come up again, "well....maybe we could make it work".
And this is how we ended up boarding the ferry Friday at 1, spending 7 hours working on our computers while we commuted back across the Adriatic to surprise them at dinner. We stayed until about 8:30pm the next day and then re-boarded and took the same overnight ghost ferry as one week earlier back to Dubrovnik. This time, however, it was less ghostly with screaming drunk college spring breakers and no van to retreat to.
The ferry ended up being a reasonable ratea nd we were able to push through some extra long days (with a few more to look forward to upon our return). We can take a mini-detour/adventure and still get our work in on time. That's the definition of a win-win situation. Despite the travel tiem to time with friends ratio, there is no question that it was worth every penny. If only I had a video of Scotty's face!
It is clearly outlined in the Team Awesome Adriatic manual that all members must rendezvous as many times as possible throughout the 2011 season. It is noptional.
I truly love these people like family.
