Are you sure they said "hasta siempre"?

- Hasta luego = see you soon (or write each other soon)

- Hasta nunca - when you're angry, like saying: "I'll never see you again"

- Hasta siempre - long goodbye, for an indefinite time. It's quite used in funerals, but also as a very polite goodbye (in a letter to somebody you don't know very well and who you're not pretending to write soon)

Maybe they wanted to be polite.
