Reply #11: yeah that's going to be tricky

She's going to either gather her allowances or ask her dad to help her pay for her ticket for her B-day gift. Maybe she'll be able to talk him into paying part of the hotel. I don't care if we can't stay close as long as we can take the train and stuff. Possibly her friend's folks will consider paying part of the hotel and my sister has been planning a trip to Chicago to do the next phase of her yoga instructor training so if she's able to do it that weekend... Then the next thing to worry about is paying for food. She's so excited about the idea that I don't want to say no outright. I'm going to try to figure something out and we'll call it her birthday gift (conveniently, her b-day is July 30 so the timing would be perfect)
