I am posting with an alias, as my girlfriend already knows my Pricescope name (We have been planning the ring together).
I have gotten such great advice on Rockytalky for the ring, and I'd love some more outside unbiased opinion on the next matter:
"The Proposal" is a big deal to my girlfriend. I know she wants it to be a total surprise (as opposed to the ring selection). I know that she wants it to be "very special" -- She's a bit of a diva but not over the top I promise.
Anyway, we live in the midwest and I would love to take her on a trip somewhere great and propose there. She started her first job (after masters degree) in September and hasn't had a single vacation day yet. I know that she gets 2 weeks for 2015, but I'm not sure how it works (IE: I think she might need to get advanced authorization to take the specific day?)
I have a LOT of frequent flier miles from business travel. Enough to fly coach or biz class anywhere in the world several times.
My first ideas: Hawaii (she's never been), Disney World (we've been), somewhere in the Caribbean, maybe Europe? etc etc
Only thing is the trip would have to be 4 days max (fri-mon), so not sure Europe would really make sense with the hours of travel involved...
I want this to be in mid to late Feb or early March.
I'm thinking maybe email her boss, explain that I want to take her on a 4 day weekend somewhere, and would there be a good Fri/Mon to take off somewhere in that time frame, and could she authorize it and not let her know?! Or is that a weird thing to do?
Would love to hear your thoughts
