the Van Dam's were supposed to leave for their Italy trip the day after her disappearance, I believe

I've heard this mentioned, but I don't know many people who party into the wee hours of the morning with a trip planned the next day. Seems most people might be up late the "night before" just PACKING, especially if they were talking three kids along. I haven't heard police mentioned luggage or the reason for the trip. As someone else mentioned, the trip would be a quite expensive luxury for someone with Van Dam's income to pull off.

The Italy trip was mentioned very often in the early-on reports of Danielle's disappearance. I was corrected on this thread about the timing....I believe the trip was planned 11 days after her abduction.
