From previous posts, I may be known as a "surprise WRECKER". Haha, well tonight I did not "wreck" a surprise, but a surprise was certainly WRECKED!
This upcoming weekend marks Sinai Liberation Day in Egypt. As such, we have a long weekend to enjoy! I have been bugging Phil to go away somewhere (Cyprus, perhaps?!) and he has been bugging me to go away nowhere (a.k.a. STAY HOME!). I understood his point about the travel chaos of the past few weeks (Tanzania, Nile Cruise, Marsa Alam), but I was really wishing for some spontaneity on his behalf. After a few days of quarreling and debate, "we" decided to stay in Cairo to finish report cards, go the gym, and catch up on sleep. (I did realize that this was a more realistic plan than my self-generated plan "A").
Who knew Phil's plead for at-home-time was all a cover! Tonight at his softball game, Phil's secret or "surprise" was revealed!
"Have fun in Ismailia!" his friend Alex exclaimed, as we went to leave the park.
"What?!" I replied.
"Have fun in Ismailia!" Alex repeated.
"Where?! PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I hollared excitedly. "Are we going away this weekend?!"
And so - away we go this Friday morning! To Ismailia! Phil has booked two nights at the Mercure hotel on Temsah Lake. I can't wait to relax on the balcony and watch the boats go down the Suez Canal.
THANK YOU DARLING! XOXO
