What) This is the second time we have celebrated Pam's birthday during one of our bridge trips. Last time my present was fairly large so I gave it to her before we left. This time my presents are ... wait, why don't you just take a look below and see what I got her.

    Where) In a forgotten hotel room in Salt Lake City.
