jamesmark Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have gone and bought a holiday for me and Sarah and it is going to be a suprise for Sarah. This is the hotel I am taking her to Tenerife Playa in October. When should I tell her? I am getting mixed views mostly that women need time to shop etc. I am gearing to 1-2 days before we fly. Opinions please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Mark, how confident are you that her passport is valid +? The canaries need you to have a number of months left on your passport I believe. Good point about shopping, I can imagine she'll be pissed if she can't buy a new cossie at least. There's also the possibility that she might arrange something for the dates of your holiday if you don't tell her. What if she's arranging a surprise holiday for you ?

TonyP Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 For gods sake give her at least a week. She won't thank you if you spring it on her at the last minute. She'll have to shop and get her hair/nails/waxing/whatever done before she goes. They're not like us:blink: if someone got me a surprise holiday I could be ready in an hour.

jamesmark Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 She only got her passport last year for the first time as we went to Palma Nova, so it's well in date. Her father who stays with us knows about it so if she is planning anything then I will have to tell her but going on the point that she is not planning anything. As for her buying me a holiday she earns quite a bit less than me so I know thats not getting done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I'd be worried if most guys couldn't wake up, be told "pack, we're off on holiday today" and be ready in time. Definitely give her more than 2 days, but I think a week is pushing it a bit far. 3-4 days sounds about right. And you also need to make sure she's not planning any big girlie nights out for that week. Probably an idea to let her best mate in on the idea, then she can help you make sure she's gonna be free for the week in question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 We are both off that week anyway as getting holidays from my works is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'd try not to say anything until just before if she's booked time off etc. I took Mike on a holiday to Dublin for his 30th and I accidentally let it slip about a week before we went (I'd been planning it for agggges)! It's more of a nice surprise if she doesn't know, and does like surprises of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Tell her you have a BIG suprise in October for her and she won't get it unless she is extremely nice to you until then. Tell her that you'll let her in on the suprise exactly 2 days before it happens. this will mean that you already sort of told her about it so she knows not to plan anything, its still going to be a big suprise for her, and you get whatever sexual favours you desire from her until October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEERSHZ Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 give her best mate lots of cash send her out to buy new clothes, cozzies etc pack her bag (make sure she knows tastes for sure) tell her when on way to airport, personally id love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 She is not one for shopping, she has loads of clothes and if she likes something she usually buys it, so you can imagine what Birthdays and Christmas is like for me. So I thought I would do an early X mas present, I am also covering spending money aswell. Doing her hair etc is an easy one as she is growing her hair so she only gets about an inch I think it is off at a time. I have already got one sentence out of her re clothes and she has said that she would just wear the stuff that she had last year, as we were talking about going for a week anyway but on a late deal.

Thorin Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I took Angela to Venice last year, I told her the day before she'd need to pack some clothes for a few days. She thought we might be going to scotland or something... Then when we started going south instead thought it might be somewhere down south... Then when we pulled into the airport she thought Dublin... It wasn't until we checked in that I told her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Id want to know asap. The best part is the build up and anticipation of going away, and the planning....then packing 3 hours before the flight ....at least 5 times yup, give her a few days to build up excitement rather than a few hours building up panic Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have gone for the 4-day mark as that will give her ample time to tell her pals jsut how great you are!! (She'll get tiem to prep also!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Get someone on here to set up a thread as you have........ ............we can all reply to the fictitious thread as we have done to yours. You can then sutbly draw her attention to it when shes passing and moaning about you being on that bloody forum again.......you can run through the dilema "this guy" is having and ask her what she would like without any indication of your plans on october.............. then you get it straight from the horses (metaphorically speaking) mouth and you can stop worrying about the timing cause as sure as eggs is eggs you'll get it wrong otherwise.....
