Good Luck!
I'll keep these ideas in mind for my future when I am in the same boat!

Then again, you could always go alone, take me, or plan it during the Six on the Beach week.

Thanks for the Laugh, you all. This has been great reading while I eat my salad!!

Good luck LLBL!!!!

Great idea Sea-nile! Except does one more Six on the Beach make Seven in Heaven?

LLBL,
I went through the same thing with my hubby. However, we had just bought land and built our new house. He didn't want to spend anymore money for a while. That is when I surprised him with a trip to Hawaii for our anniversary. He loved it and was so surprised. I was a little stressed when I bought the plane tickets. If he would have known at the time what I was up to he would have had a stroke! However, I bought this Hawaiian type dress that he had been after me to buy. I kept telling him I didn't want to spend the extra money while we were making 2 house payments! Anyway I had the dress on and gave him his present. He was so happy. Building the house ourselves had been stressful and so time consuming the trip was a great way to get back in touch with "us". Had a great trip and he never complained. The worse part was I had the whole trip planned and couldn't tell him for 3 months. That was terrible! Good luck! KK

I would simply say...

"Honey, I love you and I miss our alone time. We hardly spend any time together anymore. The kids, sports, dogs, cats, etc (fill in the appropriate things) run our lives. I think we need some time for us to get back to just enjoying each other. I found a way for us to that in our favorite place. {Insert deal here}."

He will be so touched with the fact that you still want to be alone with him that he will say yes. If he says no, promise him a "really" good time EVERY night - hehehe. That will definetly work

XOXO

LLBL,
I agree with most of the suggestions above ,especially Bug's but if he truly loves the VI's like you, I don't think it will be that hard to talk him into it. That being said, as a man, it would be great for my little Beach babe to promise all the extras listed above. One tip I do have is wait until he has a really bad day at work and then ask, I sure it will sound even better to him!
Good Luck, Scott

I agree with Pete.

Dangle the booty like a dog biscuit... it's your best hope.

[Bug]

I was just gunna come right out and say it instead of beating around the bush but I figured some GUY would take offense to my reference that men will do anything for the Booty (it is true though)!!

XOXO

Promoguy - that is TOO funny! (but SO true!)

I am having the same dilemma trying to plan "the next trip", so LLBL - PLEASE let me know what works for you. In the meantime, I will scour the internet for "a deal that can't be beat".
My signature says it all

Promoguy, good thing you married your wife and not Me, cause you would have been empty handed on Christmas morning! She must be a gem so hang on to her!

[sailorgirl]

Give him something to drink, put on that " special outfit" and pop the question

[flip-flop]

Without going into any details, I'll just say ... its all in your timing.

Well, I once got the "not even a card?" And I said the "well, you said"

I have thought about presenting a "cost analysis" that shows all of the money I save by being a "low-maintenance" girl. I don't spend a lot of money on myself like make-up, hair salon appointments, manicures and pedicures and fancy clothes, etc., so with the money I save I should be able to go to STJ.
I think I have saved at least a million, don't you?
