Utterly mindboggled

[kitanzi]

nrivkis just dropped one of the biggest, shiniest surprises on ACat and me that I have ever received.

Apparently she and a consortium of LOVELY friends (you all know who you are - I don't know all the names yet, though I'm told the card with them should arrive shortly after our wedding date next Friday!) have conspired to buy us a honeymoon.

In England.

Covering both of our airfare, both ways, and the hotel while we are at the UK Con next year, and our memberships. AND arranging the tickets, and the transporation, and staying in peoples' homes if we have time to spend beyond the con, and generally spoiling the hell out of us before, during and after.

I am caught somewhere between brain explosion and incoherent with incredulous joy. We've been determined to go, especially since that will be about the right time to see telynor marry filceolaire, but we've been worried about the finances, especially since it's fairly soon after Worldcon which we're also determined to go to. This is just... mindboggling. I knew we have some good friends - I didn't know you all aspired to be angels! :) *BEARHUGS*

Do you think I might be added to the filter to see them now? :)

I don't know but I will try and find out for you

Not quite yet, because the filter has the list of names of people involved and I haven't been authorized yet to give you those separately from the card Seanan's sending soon. Once you get the card, or once the listfolk tell me I can email you the names list anyway, I'll add you to the filter and you can follow it back and see all the cool planning stuff if you like. :)

I also want to get a chance to delete many of the followup comments from some of the postings, which say specifically what amounts specific people were planning to contribute. I don't like leaving price tags on presents, so I'd better clear those off before I let you in on the behind-the-scenes stuff.

That would be cool. :)
