Should I Stay or Should I Go?

We’re nearing the end of our time in South Africa. Tracy and the kids have three weeks remaining. I have about five. At dinner tonight, I asked each member of the family the hypothetical question “would you rather stay in Stellenbosch or go back to Grand Rapids?” Catherine was evenly split between staying and leaving. Mark would stay if his American friends could join us. Both Tracy and I would stay, unequivocally.
