[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A close friend of mine is from a town that's basically only known for a single tourist attraction. Think Cooperstown, NY or similar. She has struggled financially since marrying 30 years ago and has not been able to return since, though she speaks fondly of it and has cried when she talks about how she can't afford to visit. Two of her adult children did move there, so she hasn't seen them in 5+ years, either. All that to say, there are emotions surrounding this place for her.

[b]DH recently planned a trip to this city to visit this tourist attraction[/b], and I know it'll hurt her feelings if she finds out. We speak almost every day, so hiding a 6-day road trip will be tough, especially if she asks where we are. Advice?[/quote] What does this mean?  Did he plan this 6-day trip without your knowledge?  I would've been upfront from the beginning.  If this was a very close friend and  I could afford it, I  might even invite her to join us for the last couple of days. [/quote]

He'd planned it for him and the kids because I had a business trip, but that trip cancelled, so now I'm going. He would definitely NOT pay to fly her out, a hotel room, and all her food (that's how financially poorly she's done). Would think it's very weird, even.[/quote]Is the difference that you're going instead of just Dh and the kids?  Just explain that your business trip was canceled, so you'll join them.  [/quote]
