My husband's birthday is Feb 6. . . . we will be on vacation in Hawaii. Since it's his big 30 I wanted to do something special for him before we left. Last night I invited a bunch of his friends to meet up with us at a bar for drinks on Saturday, Feb 2. It looks like we could have 15-25 people in the group. We leave in a very seasonal location, everything is pretty dead in the winter.
As a courtesy, I went to the bar/restaurant where we'll be on the 2nd to give them a heads up. Since most restaurants have limited staff working this time of year, a group of 20 people at once could be a problem if not anticipated. I thought I would be nice and alert them to my plans. I spoke to the manager and advised her that it was a suprise. . . . we frequent the location so much of the staff knows me and my husband. She seemed appreciative that I left them know, and that she'd put it in the computer for scheduling purposes.
Fast forward to this morning......my sweet husband was checking his emails. He got an email from the restaurant confirming his reservation for next Saturday night for 20 people. He usually calls for reservations when we go there, so they must just have his email in their system. Totally ruined the surprise. I am really upset, because I wanted to do something special for him!!!
