A Surprise Getaway

22 June 2008

Oh My Goodness!

For the last couple of months, my husband’s been telling me that he has booked a little “trip for our family” for the weekend of my birthday. I didn’t know any more detail than that. It was a SURPRISE. But he warned me that we would all need warm clothes and water proof boots.

I assumed that we were going down south to stay in a nice bed-and-breakfast by a forest. Or maybe camping in a national park, with winter hiking in the bush. Or maybe we’d stay at an organic farm-stay, with activities for families and children. Spending the day feeding chickens, horses and pigs. That’s okay, I thought - but not very glamorous for my 30th birthday.

But today he told me the REAL surprise he has been planning all along – our kids are staying with my parents, and the two of us are going to Singapore for 4 days! OMG! He’s crazy! I can’t believe it!

I am completely lost for words. Eeek, what an amazing surprise! We’ll be there from 2 July – 6 July. We’ll be catching up with friends, eating, boutique hunting and shopping!! Now I have to plan every day to get the most out of my second favorite place in the world! Only 10 more sleeps!

SINGAPORE, HERE I COME!
