Hi @Joannie - what a wonderful thing you have done - you probably took a huge burden off your husband's shoulders. Sleep on it - try and get a good night's sleep - the two of you - sometimes situations resolve themselves more quickly than expected, but in essence you have been ruminating on this for quite a while now.
Let me know if you have decided not to come to Perth, or perhaps just for a quick shop - and we'll meet some other time. Above all, do not cook for me - I am happy to pick up a sandwich, or a salami spread, on the way there and I'll bring a nice white etc - and will leave as soon as you want to return.
