I just booked my Christmas and birthday gift from my husband....I get to go see my BFF in January for 4 days! We haven't been able to get together for 3 years and really miss each other.
Last year I was supposed to go and couldn't due to health issues with my Mom and her sister and BIL...that was the entire winter. Then hubby had to fly down to his Dad twice last year.
His Dad is gone now, so we won't have to reserve the money to send him at a moments notice.
