Started off with a week yet after many visits....the time keeps growing. Now up to 26 days for the longest visit ever. It all depends on what is going on at home, money and if there is only a winter trip. If a quick summer trip is in the mix, then the winter trip time decreases. With the recent increase $ for flights, one long trip is much more inviting. Pay the same for a flight whether one stays a week or 3....so, I'll take the 3 anyday!
