In the fall, i had a week off and I didn't make any plans because I was pretty broke. My oldest and best childhood friend flew in from where they live in Europe to spend the week with me- they didn't tell me they were coming. It was wonderful!
oh wow.. where did you all go?
The best part was just seeing each other- it has been five years. We didn't really do much, all our time was spent chatting. 
that was so great of your friend
It really was. I don't know how she managed to keep it a secret!
