Polymer guns are great guns in my opinion, just as good as the all steel guns I think. I own a number of them and they performed well as carry gun to me. But I do respect those who dislike them, maybe it's just a matter of personal taste/preference why some people like them while others do not.
Yes a simple dinner would be a good idea, but if you want a little bit of excitement and good memories, bungee jumping in Macau can be a good option. My family was seriously thinking about it also recently. It was the tallest bungee jump in the world as of the moment BTW.
