I could probably afford a brand spankin' new video card, and I would want to buy one... but that' such a waste of money and not worth it.

You're comparing a trip with a SO to a video card? :roll:
 
If they can get a cheap flight, go for it. If the flight is going to cost a fortune, don't bother.

Otherwise, what's the difference? I occaisonally see deals for < $400 for tickets... sounds like a fun weekend to me.

Hmm, maybe you're right. Video card will give you a lot more fun and will last 500x longer, for a cheaper price. Any better ideas?

Actual social interaction? No, the internet does not count.

How would going to Paris for a couple of days be any different than staying at home, going to a nice, romantic dinner, doing something they both enjoy, and then using that other $1800 for something more important? Its only a one-year anniversary of a BF/GF relationship, its not like they are married or anything too serious..
Two days doesn't give you much time to do anything that you couldn't do where you originally live.

I'd love to spend two days in Paris. Europe is supposed to be a great place to visit; people go there for a reason. It's something to look back on when they do get married; rather than an outdated video card that no one else cares about.
 
Sister and her husband spent 8 days in Paris a week ago, $1800 each. Plane & Hotel accomodations, breakfast included, not with a tour group. They pretty much walked around the city to see the sites in their own pace. They left on a wednesday and came back thursday a week after. October they plan to visit Rome.

By this analogy we should all just stay at home and do stuff or just do hang out at a friends place all the time...

It is fun to do something different like this.

I sure as hell wouldn't do it for a weekend!

We get people in England that go on shopping weekends to NYC from England. I wouldn't do that but I'd go to a European country for a 3/4 day weekend. I'd spend a lot less as flights and accomodation is a lot cheaper but it would be fun :thumbsup:. Also I'd like to save my holidays for something else or have a few smaller 3/4 day weekends away from the office.

Not a bad idea..
 
Two days isnt nearly enough time to enjoy anything. I went to LA for a few days a couple weeks ago and that wasn't enough time just for that. you'd basically fly in friday, have saturday, and leave sunday. Not worth it to me, but it ain't my money.

Well there is the bragging rights that they wasted 2K on a 2 day stay in paris. Or hey I got laid in Paris have you? You can also become a member of the mile high club several times there and back, nothing says you just have to sit in your seat the entire time. Sitting back a few years later and remebering that time you went to paris to screw will last a life time and well worth the $2k they paid. Better to say you done it then to sit back and go we could of done it but never did.
 
The minus time wasted on travelling plus jet lags, they will have so little time to do anything. He will rush her here and there and both will dead tire. Soon they will be at each other throat and break up after the trip. 🙂
