Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: A few weeks ago I began planning a vacation for myself and my family to celebrate thanksgiving ! We normally have Thanksgiving at our house but this year we will be traveling out of state to my parents house to celebrate the holiday ! My parents live in NY which is such a fun place to vacation near the holidays .  I booked us a hotel in NYC and was able to get a great deal on a 4 star resort by booking early online !  Luckily NY is not too far from where my family and I live so we will be traveling there by car .  I went to Walmart and bought a vast array of travel size toiletries to make packing easier ! Finally , it is just two days before our scheduled departure ! I made sure we all had enough clothes , shoes , and accessories packed in our suitcases to last the entire trip without having to worry about doing any laundry while on vacation !  The only thing I will have left to prepare the morning of the trip is packing our suitcases into the trunk ! Question: When did they plan to go on vacation? Option1: a few weeks ago Option2: a year ago
