Well I certainly travel on the trip, and I fit into neither category.
I think that you are forgetting that many people can take odd days
from their annual leave.  I would guess that maybe half of the people
in my office had the Monday off this year.

However, I do tend to agree with you, that it is not the best date for
the trip.
