I'm itching to tell about his trip to Zimbabwe - please tell me it's not a good idea......

I'm supposed to be hiding his tickets from him until his birthday at the end of November - but I'm not sure I can keep it from him that long - I know it's only another 7 weeks or so but I so want to tell him......

Fantastic! wow. Tell us instead!
I went there for a fortnight about ten years ago stayed near Raffingora. One of the best times of my life.

don't tell him! just think of the surprise on his birthday. don't spoil it yet.

have you sorted out leave with his work etc.?

Wow QoQ - great pressie.

warty - yes called his boss and he still had 9 days left, I only needed to book 4 for his trip, which left him 5 and he gets 2 between Christmas and New Year - which still leaves him with 2 'spare' ones

Ooooh, I'm always torn about this kind of surprise - yes it will be immense and wonderful, but you are doing him out of 7 weeks of glorious anticipation and excitement...

Tell him, go on

Try not to, the look on his face will be worth the wait. I love doing things like this, it's so exciting.

Hi, I bought my DH a return flight to new york for his 30th for him to visit a friend of his. On his birthday I wrapped up the email confirmation with another present. He was thrilled, I'm glad I waited for his birthday.
