how and when should I tell him.
We are leaving at 8 am on a friday.. should I tell him the night before and say - well guess you better get packed since our flight leaves at 8 am tomorrow? (kind of casual like)
Or wake up really early in the morning on friday (cause he leaves for work at 6 am) and wake him up saying Hurry up get ready we're leaving on vacation? (he may not like that)
I could make up a card and give it to him when he gets home form work on thursday- in the card it would say happy anniversary, I love you and to celebrate our love I am taking you to FL on vacation?
Please let me know what you think and give me your suggestions....help me to do this right.....Funny - I feel like I am preparing to propose....LOL

Awww - it's all so romantic! I'm excited for you:-)) If it was me, I would want at least a bit of notice to pack etc, so I would tell him the night before. Why not prepare a romantic anniversary dinner - all his favourite food - put on his favourite music, and put a card on the table with the words you suggested inside it! Gppd luck:-))

Glad to be of help:-)) I know when I celebrated my birthday earlier this year, we were on holiday, and my Eduardo arranged for the Hotel Management to fill our room with fresh flowers while we were out, because he knows how much I love fresh flowers........ but maybe your husband wouldn't so much appreciate the floral touch!!

Oh how sweet- I’m thinking you should not wait until Friday morning- Gosh that would be a heck of a surprise- I’d tell him Thursday night- when he got home- or give him a card- I’m guessing you already checked to be sure he can have the time off work right? Oh what a surprise it will be- How much fun is this!

I hope it stays a secret- I had to tell my mother in law yesterday- and she doesn't think before she speaks so I am a little concerned about it slipping...but I had no choice I had to tell her (she keeps asking us to go to VT and insisting) soooooo guess I wil have to play it by ear. But yes this is fun- wish all of you could be here to see his face when I tell him.

I have already contacted his boss about it- everything is taken care of-- Spoke to his boss and got him time off, I have house and dog sisters for the boys, plane and reservations with meals included, all I need now is a ride to and from the airport...I could leave tomorrow... I WISH!

What about work - can you make arrangements for him to have time off without him knowing? If you can I think the card on the Thursday night is a wonderful idea! Are you packing a bag for him so all he has to do is be there - that sounds really fun! xxx

I already spoke with his boss- I have his number in my cell phone in case of emergency--- I think I'll let my husband pack his own bag - I will probably tell him at dinner- then we can both pack together. I too am leaning towards the card idea....I can't wait to see his face.

In fact, I think that as long as two people are together, even if nothing is done at home spent an entire day is a very happy thing. If you really want a holiday, I still prefer to go to the beach or forest park, to experience the wild life is not bad.
