Did anyone receive a trip as a Christmas Present?
 
Curious if any fodorites rec'd or gave any trips as a Christmas present? If yes, how did it go? and where are the destinations.

My wife gave me a 10 day vacation to Maui in Feb. Condo in Kahana. Hope the water will be warm as I really love swimming in the ocean. The wife will also attend.

We gave each other a trip to Lake Tahoe for the weekend of Jan 10-12 to go skiing. We'll be staying at the Hyatt, so should be nice!

Hubby bought me a BMW for christmas, and yes it is a beautiful car but I would have rather gone to London for a week. I am guessing that since London is so expensive and so is a BMW that the cost would have been the same. Oh well, at least I now drive a car worthy of getting carjacked!!! seems no one not even criminals want the Saturn I drive now. To the other posters who got great trips from Santa, have fun!!!!

My DH gave me the gift of time at the historic Brown Palace in Denver,the Denver Art Museum and The Tattered Cover book store.<BR>We leave later today; I'm sure I'll come home with at least one new travel book!

Received a trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

I'm sorry xxx, but did you say you thought a trip to London would cost the same as a BMW? What did he give you, a 1983 325i with rust?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen plenty of flights to London for around $300. Does the BMW have wheels? Or do you have no one else to share this wonderful news with?

Boy! I wish I had been given a trip for Christmas! I have a trip planned for March but I've paid for that myself. To be given a wonderful trip, WOW, what a gift! I love to travel, but no, I got the average gifts. Have fun you lucky dogs.

Husband and I gave each other a trip to Anguilla that we took a week ago. Parents gave us a weekend in New York we just got back from.

I meant, we got back a week ago from Anguilla.

My wonderful employer gave me a trip to the unemployment line. There goes my summer trip to London.<BR>Also, my trip to London last year only cost what the tires on a BMW would cost. It was great and can't wait to get back there once more.

Oh that is a shame. I think that will be my new years present. A trip to the unemployment line as well. You must work for Verizon.

envy Dec 27th, 2002 05:38 PM

I'm jealous! I want me a vacation for Xmas! I guess I better talk to the DH about that for next Xmas. <BR>Have fun you lucky travelers!!!

Lucky Dec 28th, 2002 05:35 PM

Lucky me rec'd a trip from DH to Maui for xmas! We're excited. Going in the fall next year! I can't wait to start planning &amp; packing!<BR>ALOHA FODORITES!!!

My BMW 525I is a 2000 and was used,it is very nice, but a week at Claridges Hotel and some serious shopping at Harrods would have cost the same. This trip is not the budget trip to London but a first class trip all the way. I do love the car, though......
