GranysT Posted August 7, 2017 #152 Share Posted August 7, 2017 How are you keeping the packing under wraps? You have to pack for hubby also, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLArmyWife Posted August 7, 2017 Author #153 Share Posted August 7, 2017 How are you keeping the packing under wraps? You have to pack for hubby also, right? Hubs had national guard drill all weekend so he wasn't home. I did a majority of my packing while he was gone. For him, I put stuff like new shirts, a new tie to match one of the dresses I'm going to wear, new flip flops, etc in a brand new suitcase for him but the majority of his packing is on him! lol Our plan is Friday night the reveal, Saturday afternoon we drive to Orlando and then Sunday morning we'll drive to FLL. So he'll have Friday night and Saturday morning to get it figured out. :') He's military he should be able to pack on the fly right? ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranysT Posted August 7, 2017 #154 Share Posted August 7, 2017 LOL, yep a military man should be able to pack in less than an hour. My hubby is a former Marine. I feel so excited for you, and can't wait until you tell him all this. Many years ago, I worked for a bank. They held a contest for 3 months, to see who could open the most new accounts, and close on the most loans. I worked my butt off, and was one of the winners, of a 4 day trip to Bermuda. I kept my running a secret for that 3 months. Dreaming of how I could surprise my hubby with the trip. Well, the trip fell through. So instead of a happy surprise, I cried telling my husband all that had happened. The next day he came home with brochures, and said "honey if you want to go to Bermuda, we'll go." I'll never forget what he did. We went and had a fantastic time. I know you and your sweet husband will also have a fantastic time. Make lots of memories.

I made a YouTube video Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk How cool! Friday evening after dinner we (us and our families) will come back to our house for dessert. When he walks in there will be a large box wrapped up on the table. Inside is a brand new suitcase. Inside that is a few shirts, a tie to match a dress I'm wearing for formal night, some travel toiletries, and two envelops. Inside 1 envelope is our boarding passes and itinerary. Inside the other is the information about the excursion my in-laws got us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLArmyWife Posted August 12, 2017 Author #167 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sorry for the delayed post. Dinner was a bit of a fiasco last night which led to the reveal being almost an hour later than I had hoped. They my wifi decided to be a butt and took almost an hour to upload the video... by that time I was exhausted from the day. But here it is..

cuccicruisers Posted August 12, 2017 #168 Share Posted August 12, 2017 He looks like he was in shock. Your story gives me hope that I can keep my husband's 50th bday cruise a secret until October 2018! Hope you have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matondo Posted August 12, 2017 #169 Share Posted August 12, 2017 WTG you did it! Considering how totally exhausted your hubby must have been...he really showed a lot of enthusiasm. Have a wonderful cruise....we have had a change in our circumstances so I understand about the number crunching on the cruise. We have no excursions planned, no spa treatments, no drink packages but we are going to have a fantastic time because we are sailing away and a day at sea beats a day at work/home any day!!! Bon Voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranysT Posted August 12, 2017 #174 Share Posted August 12, 2017 So glad you were able to pull it off. Thanks for the video, loved it. Fingers crossed for a smooth sailing for you.

FLArmyWife Posted August 12, 2017 Author #175 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thanks all it's been a hell of a day. Hubs can't find his passport or birth certificate. We spent 3+ hours tearing the house apart (which looked clean and beautiful, now it looks like a bomb went off). but my MIL found a copy of his birth certificate at her house. I called carnival TWICE to double check a copy would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
