[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]That is a strange gift more than it is an expensive one. Are you leaving out something?[/b]
This was her promise to you when she gets a $70k job for example. You have always wanted to go there. Your honeymoon was there. She is quirky like that. Not many of us would buy tickets to anyone unless we know the person has time to go.

What do you mean?

She did ask us what our plans were week of July [xx]. Me: "nothing, why?" Her: "oh, just planning for your mother's day/dad's birthday gift!"...I'm thinking it'll be like concert tickets or something, haha. But she did know we have time to go. I'm in education and have 6 weeks off in the summer and DH is a semi-retired, very part time self employed consultant so it's not like she's banking on us being able to take off work or use up PTO or whatever. We went to Bermuda when the kids were little years and years ago and have talked about it being somewhere we'd love to go back to- So it's not totally random. [/quote]
