We started out going every other year since I was a single mom and it took me two years to save. Every once in awhile we or I would make it two years in a row, once for a conference for work that was in Orlando so I snuck a couple of days in and once the year my mother died. It was our every other year time and we went but didn't really enjoy it as much as usual so we did a redo the next year. About 3 years ago I started going solo for my birthday since it turned out less expensive than the places I normally go on my birthday trips, then had to go for F&W as well, because ummm I like wine. So now, twice a year, F&G and F&W, my son tries to go with me to one of them if he can get off school or work. I may end up going 3 times this year. I'd go every 3 months if my honey wouldn't have me committed, he thinks its a cult.
