Amended my post above.
But you're right about TN on MS in winter. Was looking at another day.
Good point, forgot about having to catch a Tuesday flight to PPT. Yeah so AKL connection is out.
1. its not easy, and it requires knowing what is asur med'oraysa and what is asur medarabanan. or you could be machmir, but 2 days of shabbos is no fun
2. some may view it better to avoid the safek situation altogether
Yep, my Rabbi said no to 2 days.
I hear, but relaxing in an OWB in BOB for two days instead of one doesn't sound like much of a sacrifice
Lol if only it was that simple. I was told to avoid 2 days for reasons such as what do you do about Tefillin on the non-Shabbos day? Etc. I also personally wouldn't feel comfortable not going to Shul on Shabbos.
Anyway, a 2 night, 1.5-2 day trip isn't completely crazy, right? Some people here have flown for 2 days straight without getting out of an airport.
