I'm working right now ( scheduled posts for the win) but at my company after 10 years they give you a ring with company logo on it. After 20 years a trip anywhere you want. My dad went to Ireland with my mom, more for my mom.

Well in 5 years I'll earn that trip. I was thinking Ireland as well because that's what MY wife wants.

I've been thinking, this might be my ticket to Le Mans or 24H Nurburgring.

I've never been out of U.S. and don't have a passport now anyway.

What do YOU suggest?

I think you've got the right idea...but considering her interests is good form, too.

I wish my company did stuff like that. I've been here 15 years. I think at 20 I get a gold desk clock.

If you want drinking and merriment...spring-time is fest season for Germany. And if you can get a race in there, BONUS!!!

I've been to Ireland twice, the Ring and Le Mans (I'm lucky, and it isn't something I take for granted). The Ring and the race are both great experiences and huge fun, but Ireland is amazing. Rent a car and hit BnBs around the country. Stop and visit ruins in pastures, eat great food and spend as much time as possible in pubs. Dublin is ok, but I prefer getting out and about.

This is a tough one. While it's your trip, keeping the wife happy will ultimately make it a better time. Can you imagine bringing an unwilling participant with you while you visit the 'Ring or LeMans? It would be miserable for everyone involved.

Personally, there's lots of places I'd like to go. Ireland, Australia, Japan, any island.

You know, you have five years time, maybe by that time SpaceX will be a reality? Think they'll spring for that? lol

Do Paris with a day trip out to Le Mans. Paris will blown your wife's mind. You can do dinner at the Eiffel Tower a night boat cruise through the center of the city
