Last month, I surprised my wife by telling her that we were taking a four day trip to London. My wife truly loves to go on trips (especially when it is a destination like London), so she was thoroughly excited when she heard this news. Although it was a very spontaneous trip for her (which is exactly what I wanted), I had actually spent a good amount of time planning out the trip in secret for the two of us. I wanted her to enjoy the trip as much as possible, and from what I have learnt over the years, trips are a lot more fun when they are planned in advance.

In addition to getting our flight and hotel room reserved, I also took care of our car rental in advance. I simply reserved a City airport car rental on the Internet, so that when we arrived in London, we could quickly get our car rental and kick off our time in London as soon as possible.

As a result of my advance planning, we had a wonderful time in London with each other. We did a lot of shopping, ate some really good food and simply enjoyed being with each other without the stress of our normal daily routine.
