My love for Titi is like the morning dew – fresh every day. My first love. My best friend. The only problem? She works like a horse. A beautiful, intelligent, and determined horse, but a horse nonetheless.

Titi was not just a straight – Student back in the day; she practically taught the professors. Now, she is a successful career and businesswoman, juggling work and family like a seasoned circus performer. But there was one tiny issue – her social life was as non-existent as a diet plan in December.

I tried everything to get her to take a break. A cruise? “Too much water.” A surprise Valentine’s getaway? “Too commercial.” Women’s Day package? “I will be busy celebrating by working harder.”

I was on the brink of giving up until I stumbled upon TravelTank. That was when I got the most fantastic idea of my lifetime. If my wife would not willingly take a vacation, I would lure her into one.

Step one: Arrange an emergency business trip.
Step two: Pretend we had a slight delay and had to book a luxury beach resort too.
Step three: Play the helpless, confused husband card.

And guess what? It worked. Titi, in all her efficiency, decided, “Well, we are here now. Might as well enjoy it.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I successfully got my wife to escape her work routine last Easter.

Today, Titi is an ardent worker and an even more demanding vacationer. I cannot even catch my breath.

All thanks to TravelTank.
