So the cat is finally out of the bag, Peter knows where we’re going for his surprise birthday trip.
I can’t believe I booked this trip nearly six months ago. Peter and I had only been together a few months but I guess I knew early on that Peter is pretty special.
Over the last six months I’ve tried to keep it a secret where we’re going. I thought I would throw Peter off the scent with a few little bits of information.
Because of all these little bits of info, Peter came to the conclusion that we must be going to The Canary Islands. He then worked out which islands I’ve visited and came up with either Gran Canaria or Fuerteventura for our trip. I simply said no comment.
Then a while later he said maybe it was the smaller islands, I kind of went along with this as it was true, we’re visiting a small island.
The most stressful part of all the planning was actually getting checked in and through security at the airport without Peter finding out.
Even when I parked up, I had to keep Peter away just in case they asked for our flight details.
At check in, I had to embarrass Peter a little by putting an eye mask on him (he had a choice of a bunny or leopard print - which one do you think he chose?) and I guided him over to check in. I spoke to them before bringing Peter over so they knew to keep quiet. They must see this thing all the time but they were really sweet.
I confiscated Peters boarding pass and we made it through security ok. After a little shopping it was time to head to the airport lounge.
I’ve got a Priority Pass account so we headed to the lovely No.1 Lounge. I love heading to a lounge before a long flight (there’s a clue..) and despite it being 8:00am, it’s always wine o’clock or Gueinessn o’clock at the airport.
It was now time to tell Peter where we’re heading to. I said to him that my sister Tammey wanted me to video it and for him to ‘act surprised’ although he kind of knew where we’re going (or so he thought!) so I set my phone up to record and asked Peter to guess where we’re going to, of course he guessed *insert place* first but after a few guesses I gave him his boarding pass to read where we’re going to... St. John’s, Antigua.
Peter was so shocked! I think he thought I was messing around. I know this is a big trip but Peter deserves this so much.
Peter is the most incredible man I’ve ever met. He is kind, thoughtful, annoyingly funny (only at times, sometimes just annoying lol) and he is also an incredible father and the best boyfriend. He truly deserves this trip so much.
I feel guilty that we’re not able to bring the kiddies with us but they’ll be plenty of time in the future for more family holidays together.
For now this trip is all about Peter to celebrate his big 40. We actually return home on his birthday so that’s perfect as we can have a wonderful family meal together to celebrate.
So we’re on our third drink of the morning and it’s still early. I can’t wait to share some of the beautiful sights of Antigua with you all. But for now see you later cold England.
