Yeahhhh!!! Hopefully this is a positive sign for your trip, that you'll be able to negotiate all your hopes/plans for the experience. Who knows? Maybe she intended this all along, a surprise for you all, and the F! plans just threw her budget for a loop. Or maybe your communication made her realize the expense of this family vacation. Regardless, it sounds like you two are closer to being on the same page--I'm sure your trip will be a success!
