I've been wanting to go to New York, specifically to watch the ball drop on New Year's Eve now for a long time. It's been a bucket list item for me forever. A few years ago I even had a ticket to go but the friend I was planning the trip with backe out on me and we had been splitting all the costs 2 ways so I couldn't afford it. I finally have a decent job after graduating college and can afford a decent vacation for once. I've been covering my girlfriend financially for a while now, which I'm totally cool with, while she's been looking for a job and she finally was hired at a good company that's paying her a fair wage. The problem is, it's customer service and I know it will be a stretch for her to get the days following christmas off from work. When I asked her about going even before she was hired, she wasn't really interested and specifically did not want to see the ball drop because of the crowds. I love my girlfriend and don't want to "ditch" her on a major holiday, but I also am tired of not going out and doing things that are important to me because I know she couldn't afford it or wouldn't want to do it too. I haven't brought up going alone to her yet. Any advice?
