I was innocently driving my beloved wife to work when she asked me if we were going on a trip.

I was completely taken by surprise. I had never even thought of it.  

I have a doctor’s appointment coming up in Toronto, the kind of appointment that takes most of the day.  It is on a Thursday, and Charlene was suggesting that we both take off Friday and have an extended long weekend.

That is a great idea.  I wished I had thought of this.

I would go to work, book the day off for the doctor, and then tell them that my wife wanted to play hooky on that Friday so we could have a long weekend.  

And with that done, I would begin my planning.  

I would call this trip: Let’s Play Hooky, Cleveland Style.
