Living Vicariously Through Brian & Trish

Hi guys. I don't think Brian & Trish read this but for the few of us who still do, I thought I'd put a little update in on their behalf. It all started about a month ago when Brian called me to ask if I could get Trish out of the house one morning so that he could plan a "suprise" for her. I figured he was going to make lunch for her or something. Little did I know that he and his brother in law had been planning a 2 week vacation and cruise in Alaska for Trish and her twin sister for months already. Long story short, after Trish left my house that morning, Brian tricked her into coming to the airport (by pretending he had to pick up Uncle Harold!) and getting on a plane. They were at the park and fly in Toronto before she even had an inkling that anything was going on. Her first reaction was tears and horror at all the things she had to cancel for the next two weeks, but after she got over that it was nothing but happiness and fun. Trish didn't know until 2 days after she got to Vancouver that her sister was coming on the cruise - Brian and Tom arranged to meet at a restaurant where they saw each other for the first time and finally realized what was really going on. I don't have all the details on how great the cruise was but I know that Trish had a great time on her surprise trip. Kudos to Brian for actually keeping it a secret and pulling it off. Can you imagine your husband packing for a two week trip for you? I shudder at the thought. Anyway, it's a great story. Ask them about it sometime if you have a chance. Hope everyone is doing well! Miss you all. Sheri
