A trip to Alberta in 2 weeks?

BF and I are planning on going to Alberta from Feb 6-9th to visit his family. My LASIK surgery is on Feb 5th, so it’s not going to be that great of a trip for me, but I’m excited. We saw his parents at Christmas, but we haven’t seen his brother’s family since last summer.

We were originally going to drive out there. I have no problem driving, because I like road trips and the drive through the Rockies is very pretty. But his mom offered to pay for us to fly out there instead. I guess the roads are still pretty sketchy, and it takes about 10-12 hrs. to drive there. Air Canada is having a seat sale, and it would cost less than $500 round trip for the both of us to fly.

I would feel totally guilty if his parents paid for my flight. A few days ago, BF said that I shouldn’t feel bad because I’m practically family – which made me feel good that he said that – but at the same time, I feel like the only reason they’d be paying for me to go is because they want him to come out for a longer visit – and that wouldn’t be possible unless I were coming too. And maybe they think it’d be rude just to offer to pay for his flight? I don’t know.

At any rate, I think we’ll talk about what we want to do tonight.
