This is great news, I was thrilled to read it. You are going to enjoy those days or months in a great way and yes of course plan a lot, you deserve it, so long time without seeing each other. You are going to have a great time!
In my case if I plan that kind of things, I like to do it, I get excited every step every preparation, although it is true that sometimes things happen that I don't plan and that are good and I enjoy them just as much.
Big hug Galen, I'm happy for this news!
