A Mystery Vacation?

Since I’m in between vacation series right now – just finished blogging the honeymoon and am about to start my cruise posts – I figured it would be a good time to tell you about my next vacation.

And I would, if I could… but I don’t know where we’re going!!! Because my husband planned a surprise vacation for me!

Allow me to explain in the form of the following video:

(Also, in the video I said we’re 6 weeks away but I ended up taking longer to post it than expected due to transitioning my blog over, so we’re really more like a MONTH away!)

In case you want further elaboration or otherwise don’t feel like watching the video, Chris had a few vacation days he needed to use up before the end of the year and he took it upon himself to plan a trip for us somewhere to a mystery destination!!! I got home from my trip to California and he says “oh, make sure you get those November days off because we’re going somewhere.” I’m like oh, where are we going? And he says, “oh I’m not telling you. But it’s booked.”

It’s BOOKED????!!!!! How are you gonna book a vacation without consulting me! Without planning! Without making a spreadsheet!!

In case it’s not obvious, I am 100% a planner by nature. I’ve mentioned to Chris (and others) how I could never go on vacation without planning every aspect ahead of time, and I have a metaphorical pile of spreadsheets for every trip I’ve ever taken or want to take. The idea of just up and leaving to go on a trip is unfathomable to me. So perhaps that puts it into context how shocked I was when Chris said he just booked something!

some of the possible destinations we could be going to – where do you think it will be??

Don’t get me wrong, obviously I am so excited to go on a mystery vacation because how ridiculous is that!!!! I’ve read about companies that do trips like this for people – like, they completely plan your trip for you and you just show up at the airport and go wherever. It’s always intrigued me, but I know that I am way too controlling and hands-on to ever relinquish control like that. But now… it’s happening!!!

So – I guess we’re going on vacation??? But I don’t know where??? And from what Chris says, he doesn’t intend to tell me until the last possible moment??? I’m shook, you guys. I have literally no idea where we’re going and if Chris has his way, I won’t know until we leave the house that day!! It’s so wild. I’m so excited, I know it’s going to be so much fun and I can’t wait to see where we go 🙂 Thanks so much for reading, I hope you’ll stick around to see what happens too! <3
