09  What is the best present you ever received?   
It's hard to compare presents. My daughter did take me to the city (New York) for a weekend to see La Boheme at the Met, then Phantom of the Opera. We went to the museum, had dinner at Delmonico's and The Grande Tier at the Met.  Our room at the Plaza Hotel was upgraded by a lovely desk clerk. She had wanted a room overlooking Central Park but there were none, so we got a suite of rooms that normally costs  thousands of dollars a night, but we got it for our upgrade.    That was a wonderful birthday experience.   The suite was beyond lovely.  Marble bathroom, every amenity you can think of.. living room, dining area all furnished with gorgeous furniture.   
The Plaza isn't a 5 star hotel for nothing.  Yes, I am totally spoiled.
