It sounds like you have a good plan in mind to aim for a two week visit. That seems long enough to make the drive worth it and short enough that you can handle it mentally and emotionally.

I like how you opened up and talked it all through here. Many people have a learning style that leads them to work best in that way. I hope it helped to get it all out. I have high hopes that you'll be able to work this out with Steve just fine. He sounds like a good and reasonable man and you're keeping his best interests in mind. Good luck with the conversation with him. You're going to do great!
