Could you do it ?????

[jandj082008]

I would be ready before you could finish that sentence! :D

[springtxbill]

It is now 12:15 here in Houston. Let me know right now and we can make a flight out by 6 or 7 tonight to be there the night before. Leaving tomorrow, w would just stay at work all day.:)

[CharmedOne]

Yes yes yes

[KeywestK]

Give me an hour to pack and I'm ready!

 

Karen......who'd give her eye teeth if DH actually did this!!!!

[twoputt.plusone]

What do you mean 3 days??? I could be ready in a couple of hours. :D

I could be ready in 1 hour. I'd just leave a note and some cash for the kids. $200 might do them for pizzas for the week.

 

"Mom & Dad have gone on a cruise. See you in a week. The money is for pizzas. Remember: only 1 hour per day on the Xbox. Don't forget to feed the dog".

 

Then, Im gone.. in the car.

[twofastdogs]

Awesome! I am thinking of doing this next summer for our 10th anniversary. I always plan and pack everything anyways... I just wonder how to keep it a secret! Work is easy for him, he is a teacher and will be off anyways.

[imjoyful2]

Shhh!!!!

 

I'm actually doing this - but I'm planning a little more notice than that for DW. Finding the time off was easy - she works at the school so we're traveling over February break. I even went far enough to call her doctor and pick up scopolamine patches for her. (If the doc wouldn't issue the prescription, I would have had to tell DW earlier...)

 

I'll probably end up telling her by the end of January so that she can think about packing - she's MUCH better at remembering everything than I am - but we'll DEFINITELY keep it secret from the kids - they love cruising at LEAST as much as we do and will be thrilled to come home from school on Friday afternoon and find out we're all leaving town on Sunday!

 

And all this still going on after 17 years of marriage on 11/16!

 

I think I'd have a heart attack if my DH ever surprised me with something. After 10yrs of marriage, he STILL can't manage to even do the littlest surprise for me, let alone a vacation!

 

All you husbands that do this for your wives, you all are a rare breed!! ha Ya'll got some LUCKY wives!!! :D

[alwalaska]

if you called your wife or your wife called you and said that you have arranged everything with work to be gone all next week at both your job and her job...could you be ready to leave in 3 days for a 7 day cruise...THIS IS ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE A CURRENT PASSPORT...is the question???????

 

Uhhh - YEA! I could go tomorrow!

 

I actually had a friend tell me the other day that her sister's husband just surprised her with a cruise for the following week. He had done all the planning and everything so he could surprise her. She called my friend to complain that he was so inconsiderate because she didn't have time to get everything ready that she wanted to do. My friend told her that she was crazy to complain. Most men would never think of doing something like that and she should count her blessings to have such a wonderful husband and tell him so.

[Cruise_Couple]

Ready, Willing and Able! Let's Go!!!

[balcony4u]

i am a planner and three days would be plenty! go for it!!!!

[Alexis]

That is a definite YES!

[wrp96]

Absolutely yes. Wouldn't even worry about whether my cruise clothes are clean or not - laundry can be done on the ship!

[juniorsmom]

My passport and VISA are right beside me calling a cab right now.:)

[Virga]

If it was cleared with work, SURE! Of course, we don't take week-long cruises, just three dayers, but that just makes it easier to pack.

 

Granted, we'd also have to make sure my aunts were in town to check in on the cats, but other than that - I can pack for our getaways in fifteen minutes.

[01Sweetpea]

As long as he arranged for the kids & the dog to be taken care of, I could be ready by the end of the day. :D

[Theresa522]

Shhh!!!! :eek::eek:

What a nice surprise!! DH and I are married 16 years and still do things like this for eachother. :D

Yep... just did it for the Grandeur repo. Booked on the 26th while out of town visiting our kids in Ohio and the ship left Baltimore on the 30th. Rushed home, packed and left for 11 days. It was a great cruise.

[Bellfree Bat]

I was ready yesterday!

[karena1]

No Problem - no kids at home, no pets, so yes easily could be ready in that short of notice. We can only wish it was true!!

[Gator0178]

What's the catch??!?!!

[gobrandy]

I cannot imagine a better surprise!!

[phantom728]

When do we leave?

 

My sentiments exactly!

[whyrlygig]

I'd have no trouble making a break for it but, my guys don't even like it when I spring dinner guests on them with no notice. :rolleyes:

[FanofFlorida]

It SOUNDS like fun- but planning a vacation is half the fun for me. Actually more like an obsession....I usually have at least a year notice. I absolutely HATE not being prepared.

How could I possibly pack in three days without carefully considering what we were going to do?

Something like this would be an excellent lesson in spontaneity! Although I would be panic sticken for the 'what if', I would definetly go-for-it.
