Doing anything special for a countdown? I make hidden mickeys out of black construction paper and write the amount of days left to travel on each one. Every day I hide another one (for my husband).. he loves it! Some days its in his lunchbox, rearview mirror, inside the microwave, even on the lid of the toilet seat! If he goes most of the day without finding it he says very dissapointingly "wheres my hidden mickey?"
