Planning The Trip

So, your partner is coming in ____ days (for me it's 82). Hopefully you have a list of some ideas of what to do when they're here. If not, here are a few (I plan on doing as many of these with James as I can):

- go to museums (if you're into that kind of thing like we are lol)
- go for walks around the country/city/whatever your setting
- go for drives
- go shopping
- plan a romantic surprise you know they'll like
- take them to a natural phenomenon (IE in New Brunswick they have the Hopewell Rocks, aka highest tides in the world, or here in Truro we have the tidal bore)
- go dancing (whether in a club or even your own home)
- bowling
- play pool
- play fun video games like Mariokart, Just Dance, etc
- play board or card games
- go to amusement or nature parks
- take them to historic sites (such as forts or monuments) if you're into that kind of thing
- play mini golf
- go to restaurants
- go on picnics
- go to the beach
- go swimming/ice skating depending on the time of year
- stay the night in a hotel and have some private romantic time to yourselves
- hang out with your/their friends
- go to a concert or outdoor event

Whatever the activities that you pick, I'm sure you and your partner will have a great time. I was (and still am) worried about money since I don't have a job, and James told me not to worry about the money, that he's sure the whole week with me will be magical. In case we do end up on a slim budget, the main thing I want to do with him is take him to Lunenburg, stay the night there in a hotel and go on the sunset sailing tour which I think would be very romantic. He's also up for that idea.

In case you don't know, Lunenburg is a very historic seaside town that has a lot of cool attractions and things to do there. It's my favourite town in all of Nova Scotia to be honest. It's about 2.5 hours drive from here (Truro). If I could pick any town in Nova Scotia to retire in it would be there.

And, like I said, if you are on a slim budget and can't go out and do a bunch of things, just pick one or two main things that you really MUST do with them while they're here. Most of the stuff I've picked to do with James is just time-killer, so it's not something that I think he needs to go do or see. But there are a few things that I really hope to do with him while he's here, such as the Lunenburg thing.

Your partner has paid a lot of money and gone through a lot of effort just to meet you. Make their time with you unforgettable and make them realize you are worth it. Although I'm sure they've already figured that out ;)
