Once again, thanks to everyone who has weighed in. I've gotten what I had hoped to get in posting this topic....a much more informed perspective on how to approach decisions like this going forward. I fully expected to get get flamed a bit given the topic, but even those who thought it was an incredibly poor decision were constructive and helpful with their comments. As we all know that can be a bit of a rarity in internet-forum-world, so it was a pleasant surprise. Grateful to have found this site....I've got lots of reading to do in advance of my trip next month.
So, what's your conclusion? Was it a terrible idea? Or just a bad idea? Or maybe the right decision?
If you had it to do over again: would you?
