My brother surprised his wife with their Honeymoon trip. She had no idea where they were going, and all the women in our family took great delight in making up ‘hints’ to a variety of locations. “Be sure to pack your coat”, “You took French in school, didn’t you?” and “All you’ll need is swimsuits”. About a week before the wedding, he finally told her what climate to pack for. After two days in Disneyland they boarded an early flight and it wasn’t until the plane was taking off that she discovered they were going to Hawaii for the rest of the trip.
