My DH requested a special trip for his 50th (Dec. '03). I let him choose where he would like to go, he did some research online, and came up with the BVI (British Virgin Islands). What a wonderful time we had! He got to try sailing a Hobie Cat for the first time and wind surfing, we took a champagne cruise on a large sailboat, ate amazing food, went hiking, drank tropical drinks, and even got to ride cruiser bikes all over the rustic but elegant (and car-free!) resort, Biras Creek. It was a PERFECT week. Pricy, yes, but I didn't regret a penny spent.

I'm already thinking about where I want to go for my 50th (3.5 years away). I'm thinking maybe a Bike Scotland tour.
