That's wonderful! I love those 'surprise visit' occassions. Sadly my parents would need to fly across the country to do that and it's just not feasible given my work schedule

My parents are in another country so I haven't seen them for about 3 years.  I wish I had money to go visit them.  Yeah, its a pity that I still have to work too but I got to enjoy them this weekend!

Oh, your situation knocks mine out for sure. That's great that they did that. Traveling is unfortunatly, very expensive
