So I promised I'd talk about how I planned to let my husband know about the surprise. First of all, I'd like to let you know that I was able to arrange his days off of work. Since it is a weekend getaway, I only had to get a Friday and Monday off.
I am going to pack all of our things as soon as I get home from work on the day before the cruise departs. I will make sure my checklist is all cleared, and then place the bags under our bed. He will get home at around 7:30pm, and we'll probably watch some TV or whatnot. When I see an opportunity, I will quietly take the bags out and onto our Expedition. That night I will make sure to turn the alarm off for the next morning.
On Friday morning we will both be sleeping way past our wake up time, and when he realizes this he'll completely freak out. He'll start waking me up and telling me we are late. I will calm him down as best I can and reassure him that everything is fine, because this is part of his anniversary present. IF he doesn't believe me, I will show him the redacted email I sent his boss requesting the day off.
I'll explain that this is a surprise I've been planning for a while, and that we will be leaving at around 1:30pm. I will also let him know that his parents will be taking us because parking is horrible and really expensive where we're headed.
At approximately 1:30pm, we will leave the house, and I will have packed everything he'll need for that day(passport, cruise docs, etc.). On a side note, I ordered mock tickets back in November explaining all the details of the cruise and how it was a surprise(They're really cute. I'll upload a picture of them tomorrow). Now, he's never been to this particular Port, and so he will have no idea where we are truly headed. Once I see the entrance to the Port, I will give him the mock tickets and wait for his reaction. I want to get it all on camera, and then upload it here.
That's what I have planned so far. I you have any ideas for me, leave me a comment! Thanks for reading. Have an awesome night!
Tomorrow I'll blog about my Cruise Packing List: YAY!
