First, sleep. Then, friends. You will be last (sorry). If you want to find out what his life is like - invite his friends over and order pizza, sit and listen.

It's up to you. As a parent, I would have no qualms in making a deal. I pay your airfare, you sleep at my house. If he wants to stay with the gf he can get her to pay his airfare. If he doesn't like that deal he would be welcome to spend Thanksgiving in
Colorado Springs.

From your first post it sounds as if your kid is acting like a punk. He'll figure it out eventually. If he pays his way he should do what he wants to do. If he doesn't necessarily do what you wish he would (eat your turkey, spend time with his family, etc) you're going to have to
