David,
First of all , happy anniversary to you and yours and really hope you enjoy your weekend away - you certainly deserve it!
I'll be checking in on Wednesday evening in the hope that your meeting goes well and you get some positive answers.
I'll leave you with the thought that:
how good it will be, as you get in your new luxury car (and Americans sure know how to make 'em) faced with a journey away to meet with your family - staying in lovely hotel and eating delicious food, and finishing with a stroll along the beach with your good lady - in the setting sun!
The 38 roses gives it away - you're an old romantic.
Very best wishes,
Chris.
