[QUOTE="nvts, post: 54341, member: 3814"] Just a thought (I'm voting FOR the vacation to happen), why not sit down with them both, hand out the available flyers, brochures, etc. and put the trip planning in their laps? This would make them feel like it's truly THEIR trip and not something so important to you? You can sit and referee, put a calendar on the table and let them choose what days you're doing what and for how long. Having a local map available so that they can get an idea where things are will help a lot. You paid for them to play...if you want them to be enthusiastic, throw some jargon their way... "look, I know how hard you guys work. You need to know that you're working so that you can enjoy some of the finer things in life." "you know, you're going to love the girlfriend more than before and will enjoy her 10 times more when you get that 1st glimpse of her when we get back" "hey, it's your trip too, let's map it out so that we'll get the best bang for our buck" It comes down to "what'll make us each a little bit happy". Good luck and I hope you're blessed with some of the best weather on your trip should you decide to go! [/QUOTE]
