R2C, thanks for your input. And I agree, I said separate for a reason and I shouldn't back away from that.
As far as still going even if D18 doesn't play, I see where you're coming from. The tournaments she's played in where we have had to stay in hotels are some of my favorite memories of her playing soccer. And you're right, drinks in the bar/rooms/whatever outdoor space we could find were always a lot of fun. I know it will be fun. I'll keep thinking about it.
