Let me share something from personal experience way back when.

My family used to visit relatives for the 4th of July every year, for about 2-3 days. On the day we would leave to go back home, my sis and I would bug our parents as to when we were leaving. The response we always got was "soon". For us soon meant 5-15 minutes, for them it meant an hour.

The point of this? Your definition of soon varies from what their definition is.
