Happy Birthday, Leni

I made you something.
scroll
First, a confession

I saw your list.

The safe-range hotels. The GA tickets. The restaurants you really wanted but kept calling “maybe too much.”

You were holding back. Here's what we're actually doing.

P.S. — I know what you’re thinking. He can’t plan a thing. He can’t book a thing. He’s about to forget my flight.
Same. I doubted me too.
Then I did it anyway.

June 11 to June 25

Two weeks.
Four places.

Ibiza. Barcelona. Corfu. Paxos.
All of it. Together.
