I know I lurk mostly and comment infrequently, but you all seem pretty level headed so I thought I'd ask your opinions.
We have a friend turning 30 next month and we've talked about going to visit him for his bday. We were emailing back and forth last night about it and his girlfriend is going to be in town for a week and he really wants us to meet her because he thinks this one is it. We're excited for him and really want to meet her.
So he said we could come up the first weekend she is in, but she comes in on Sat. (not sure of time). It's a 4.5 hour drive for us and we would ideally like to stay in the area for more than 24 hours and taking time off from work isn't really an option.
I suggested the following weekend since we could get there Fri. night and hang until she leaves that Sunday. He invited us to stay with them, but I offered to make plans for us to stay elsewhere given that they don't see each other much. He said not to worry, we could stay with them.
He messaged today that her flight leaves on Sun. and they'll probably do something just the two of them Sat. night. I'm not sure how to respond. We aren't going to get there until later on Friday and we basically won't even get to have a dinner with them. WWYD?
We'd probably leave a little before lunch time. We have another friend on the way home that we'd like a (brief) visit with. Depending on her timing we would leave a few hours before her so they could have some alone time.
I think I would verify what time she comes in that first Saturday. It sounds like you guys may be able to get some time with just him Friday night and Sat morning...and then catch lunch or dinner with both of them Saturday. Then you guys could leave that Sunday to visit your other friend. You would still get technically two nights....albeit a short one on Friday. PLUS, she'll get that whole week with him after you guys leave...if you go that first weekend.
I'm not sure the last weekend works because they're wanting alone time that Saturday.
I should have added that I have plans on the Sunday morning of the first weekend that I can technically move, but I've already moved them once so I feel a little guilty about that (friend knows about this though, which is why we came to an agreement for the 2nd weekend).

Ya, I read that as "Hey, after talking to my gf I realized yall coming that second weekend would be no good because we'll want alone time before she leaves again". If you can do it that first weekend it sounds like they would prefer it. Otherwise you might just need to reschedule for another time.
