Travel

My life is all about travel. I don't think I can live without it. No, I don't travel all that much, although I am convinced that I travel more than most people (even Americans), although that is all thanks to my husband. If it wasn't for him, I would be going nowhere but Minnesota. But mostly my life is connected with travel because my beloved spends most of his time traveling. I love my husband, and he loves his work, thus I love his work as well. I also want him to be as comfortable while he travels as he is at home. I know that there is almost nothing I can do to make him comfortable on the road, but there is one thing (oh, btw, that is my Christmas present to my husband, one thing I can help with in making his weekly airplane trips more tolerant).

All of us know that airplanes can be pretty loud, well, my beloved spends quite a bit of his lifetime on the plane. He used to have noise cancelling headphones, but they were not very good and during one of his trips to Russia he forgot his headphones on the plane (btw, I am convinced it was just a plan of his, an excuse to get a new, better headphones). He went for a couple of months without any headphones which was quite painfull for him (quite literally).

One day in the last month, my husband emailed to all his family (me, his folks, his brother, his sister) the list. Yes, the list. His annual Christmas wish list. I know that some people think it's silly, but I love the list. I can get him what he really wants, and he does not mind kind of knowing what he will be getting. So, this year I see on his Christmas list a perfect present: Bose QuietComfort 3. Yes, the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market. So, I order them, and have them delivered to Mpls. I wish I was there to see him open the gift, but I did have him call me and open the gift while having me on the phone. I think that he liked it. He said that it was too much, and that I shouldn't have, but I think that it wasn't enough. Not enough to show him how much I appreciate his hard work for our family, not enough to show him how much I love him and how much I want him to be comfortable when he is on the road. This quiet comfort on the plane is the least I could give him this Christmas :) I do hope that he will get to use these headphones a lot. I do hope that he won't forget these ones on the plane :) And I do hope that he likes his gift :) Happy New Year, baby. Enjoy your present!!!
