But only TELL him when you've found a way to save money. As in "Honey, we got a 40% off PIN code today." or "Honey, I'm glad we booked our airline when we did; the price has gone up $100 per person."
He'll be bragging about you to all his friends!
Good idea.
And yes, after a few trips for relatively little cost, when he finds out how much his friends/co-workers spend on their once every 10 years trips (or they don't go at all b/c it's too expensive), he'll be mightily impressed.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I tend to get on these kicks. The same thing happened after we went to Vegas to see George Michael. When we came back I listed to nothing GM and Wham! for weeks on end!!
HE shouldn't be surprised either!!!
We all tend to talk about what is going on in our lives. When we were just engaged, hubby had a serious problem with how much wedding planning stuff I did. What took him quite a long time to figure out was that not only was I trying to make it the best wedding for the least amount of money possible, but I also had NO idea what sort of wedding I wanted! I never dreamed of a big wedding, but HE wanted that, and HE set that in motion (by refusing Vegas) but then wanted to step away.
So if spouses want a really good trip, but then want to somehow not have us talk about it or think about it or spend time actually figuring out how to do it, they need a serious reality check.
IMO. Taking it too seriously b/c of the wedding planning stuff that hubby had issues with. But now he apologizes for his behaviour back then, I joke about mine, and we talk about whatever we're doing (going to a B&B for a weekend, going to
Disneyland, future big trip to WDW, cleaning the kitchen, whatever) as much as we need to talk to get it all figured out!
