The card from my husband contained the following message -
"A milestone birthday requires a milestone gift. Love you with all my heart." And a link to a site that plans tours all across the globe, with instructions to "Pick one."
So, sometime in the next year, we will be going to Ireland, which I have long wanted to do. He said he was pretty sure that was what I would pick. We both have Irish heritage in our family trees, and I'm going to see if I can discover any distant relatives who might be living there.
We've traveled a fair bit, both together and before we met, but neither of us have been to Ireland. We met in Japan, when we were both in the Air Force, me as a nurse practitioner, him as a pilot.

What a lovely and thoughtful gift from your husband. I hope you have a wonderful time in Ireland and of course, we want a full report when you get back!
All the best,
