Correct, we're maybes -- I think we'd want to stick close to the weekend but could probably be there Monday and just-possibly Tuesday as well. Depends on what's up with school and especially what's up with my potential host. That'd be the next step, to find out whether she would be in town at the time (likely) and whether she's available (she's a very hospitable type and that particular inn may not have any room at the right time, or she may have a lot going on). I'm less likely to come if a visit would put her out. (Mostly because she wouldn't hear of me staying in a hotel when she's right there and I would therefore be putting her out.)
It'd be a good time to travel in terms of airfares -- off-peak, no holidays or long weekends or anything -- so I probably won't finalize until much closer to the event.
Except for the school exception, though, we're flexible. The following weekend, for example, is equally fine.
