Since Tibby & Corkscrew are pretty easy to adapt - I think I would take them and stay the month at Alexa's house. Not only would it save lots of travel, but everyone would have lots of attention. If anyone gets really upset, you can always go back to the first option.

My 2 cents

Plus - as an added bonus - WE get pictures of Tuna and Pocky - well - does Alexa have internet? I don't know if I could manage without THAT!
