I thought you said that if I wouldn't go, you wouldn't either.
Not really. I thought it would be really unfair if I went and you didn't. I still think so. It comes down to the financial reality though. As is, I don't think I'll be going. Maybe I will decide that I do want to go at the last moment, if I can somehow turn it into a vacation for me and thus justify it. (Doesn't sound very likely though... of all the places to go on vacation, middle America just doesn't strike me as the place.) I do plan to take a vacation this summer and there's a slight possibility that Michigan would be it. Am I making sense so far? So basically - for very selfish reasons. Not that I intend to neglect you entirely, far from it, but, as with all presents, wouldn't you rather take that in cash?
