Vacation!

Posted : 1/31/2007 3:21:13 AM

WOoohoooo!

I cannot believe I just did what I did. I just now booked a vacation to Universal Studios in Orlando for Val. day through that Sunday. Ive been pondering it, up really late every night since its the only time hes sleeping and I have a chance to do it without being seen... wondering if I should or not for about a week. Its something we have planned time and time again but end up spending the money on something else and cant go. Then we try again... and for years it has not happened. Weve never gone on a trip together just the two of us.

I just got our 2005 tax returns (the hurricane messed up our state so those were just done)... and DH didnt know anything about it. Still doesnt. I talked with my mom about it and although she thinks I should "save" she cant deny its as good a time as any to just finally DO it. So, I got to thinking about how I can trick him and he wont know until we pull up at the airport and all these good ideas. So, after MUCH thought and hotel and price research, its done.[

] Whew what a load off. Im too practical for this sort of thing its like a rush to book a vacation[8|] lol. Clicking "ok" was nerve racking. I still have anxiety about it but its done so I need to stop.

So DH will be thinking hes going to work with me on Valentines day (we both help my parents sometimes) and we will go to the airport instead... which happens to be RIGHT where we would be working [

] ... its what made me think I should hide it all. Ill already have his bags packed and in the car and he wont know! How neat, I cant wait. I hope I can keep my mouth shut and this silly smirk off my face for two weeks. Ahh this is going to be really hard for me.

I had to tell somone already which isnt a good sign lol.

What a great surprise that'll be! I know what you mean with the anxiety about spending money like that. [

] Try not to worry about it, everybody needs to have some fun and go on vacation every now and then! [

Edited to add, don't I know how hard it is to keep a secret. LOL at trying to keep the silly smirk off your face. Good luck with that. lol [

Wow!! That is a fantastic surprise! Sounds like so much fun! I wish I could see the look on his face when he finds out!

OKay now that the shock has worn off Im so excited! We needed this. He needed this. He called this morning all aggravated with work and sounding down. I wanted soooooo bad to tell him! I didnt tho. Im wondering now if I should. To make this hard time hes having just a little easier knowing hes got a great vacation coming up really soon. I think the shock of ending up at the airport for it one day would be priceless though.

Would you tell or wait? Im going to struggle a lot of he keeps having a hard time. No never mind I wont. Because had I not booked it I wouldnt have anything to tell him anyway to make it better. But I did, and I do so nevermind again. Okay.. Im rambling. Off to work.

I can't keep a secret to save my life. [

I would definitely not be able to do it and would break down and tell.

Would it help to tell him that you are going "somewhere" but just not say where or would that break the dam and everything would come out?

Would you tell or wait?

Wow Amy, what a great idea! I know what you mean about breaking out in a sweat before you hit the "OK" button [8|]. I would love to do something like that but I could never keep a secret, especially one I was so excited about. I hope you can do it, but if not, could you just print the itinerary and put in his card?

Universal Studios in Orlando is totally amazing! Much better than the one in CA. You'll have a great time. Be sure to show us pictures when you get back. []

Ohh I know Ive been there! I have wanted to go back for soooo long! The last time was for a dance team competition when I was 17 and we only got 1 day to do the parks because we were practicing and competing and stuff the rest of the time. I think I saw pretty much everything I just HAD to, but I know I would just have so much fun if I could just stroll around and not rush anything. Im about to burst. The spiderman 3d thing was my favorite I think. I got a picture with Lucy![

] Now they have plenty new stuff, I cant stay off the website.

I almost told him tonight. I think I said too much but hes still unsure. After the conversation though he asked if I wanted to go eat at NOLA (rest in quarter) for Val. day so I said yes to make a reservation. Hope that threw him off again. Im so back and forth... I want to share in the excitement with him and I want to surprise him also.

I told my mom today that I did it and I was going to try not to tell him and she laughed and said Oh yeah right, YOU? Haha, I seem to have a bit of trouble keeping secrets as well. If its someone elses I have no problem, I usually just forget about it even if it was a biggie but when its personal news or something Im personally excited about its not possible. Even DH who now knows Im trying to keep his "present" a secret said he knows I wont be able to. Even if he thinks he knows hes NEVER in a million years gonna guess this. I wonder what hes thinking it is.

Oh yeah, and DH has NEVER been to any amusement park in his life. Can you believe that? I remember him telling me that a few years ago when I mentioned a vacation there. School fairs are the best hes gotten to lol...Crazy. He will love it there!!!!!
