Spa Weekend Gift from Boss - WWYD?
My boss wants to send DH and I on a spa weekend in Dec which is SO nice... but here's the thing:
DH + I are planning a long vacation in Dec to go to Costa Rica. I haven't requested the time off yet and was planning on asking next week when we have booked our hotels.
I know she is offering to do this as a gift, but am afraid I will look spoiled/ungrateful if I take a long weekend to go to the spa and then take 6 days off from work for another vacation within a 3 week timespan...
What do you think?
ETA: This is the Spa....Mirbeau Spa
The town does a recreation of scenes from Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" every weekend in December - they have characters walking around in costume. She says its great.

If you are taking your time to go on vacation I can't see that being a problem.

Say, "That's so generous. I was meaning to ask you for x dates off for our trip to Costa Rica in December. This would be such a nice way to start off our vacation!"

Re: Spa Weekend Gift from Boss - WWYD?
But the problem is, when she first mentioned it to me, we hadn't booked our vacation yet. So I didn't say anything about it...
Now that we are planning it, I feel funny. I feel like it will seem like we are ungrateful or something... ya know? Like how many vacations does 1 person need?

Do you have the vacation time from work? If so, I see no problem.
Just approach her about it ASAP and let her know what's up. I'm sure she'll understand that you are entitled to your vacations!
