My husband surprised me on my 50th. Told me we were going to NY for a conference and I'm all cranky because I didn't want to turn 50 listening to speakers. I'm so ditzy and not paying attention that I didn't notice they checked our passports. I finally woke up and asked David why we needed passports to go to NY and he said it was a flight that was stopping in NY and then, going overseas. I actually believed him. So we get on the plane and I notice the flight crew is speaking French and he finally said, I have good news and bad news. The good news is we're going to London and Paris and the bad news is we can only be there four days. I started bawling! What a trip! What a birthday present! And, he topped it the following year. He took me to St. Tropez. The man never ceases to surprise me with wonderful ideas he's put a lot of effort and money into.
