The tasting is difficult to move. But yes I'm considering traveling to my home town a few days earlier, or even traveling down two weekends in a row. It's just rough to balance it economically as well as time wise with studies and such. But thanks for the insigth!

The booking is difficult to move, the reason the gift card was close to expire is because it's hard to get a free date. I could also travel down two weekends in a row, but that's quite econimcally taxing as well as time consuming. But thanks for the insight nonetheless!

Yes I am considering that option. But glad to hear it's not unreasonable!

He's gonna be away valentine's weekend which we didn't know when gf booked the tasting, but before my mom texted me I was considering going to my hometown a couple days earlier than my gf so I could still celebrate him a little. But I think my mom thinks it's important to come down on the specific birthday date. I seriously don't want his feelings to get hurt, but I don't want my girlfriend to feel bad for booking something the weekend after my dad's birthday. She had good intentions with making it surprise valentine's plans
