Need opinions should I go for a surprise visit?

[nickeldawn]

So I've been thinking about taking a road trip down to Florida the week after my Birthday for a mini vaca and to visit my fiance. I haven't seen him since February and he's been in confinement (still is) since March. Soo I'm having big time withdrawls and i just really want to see him. I've been doing a lot of pondering and I think I want to keep it a secret.. not even let him know I'm thinking about going there and then surprise him. He never gets visitors.. ever. I'm the first person he'd seen from the outside in 2 years and before that it was a quick visit with his mom and a couple times with his grandpa.

So I was wondering if you guys think its a good idea or not??

I'd say go for it! I would just call the prison and make sure everything is everything. Ya know, like make sure there are no changes with anything like visiting dates, times, etc.

I agree with ArabPiscesBone, call first to make sure he is even allowed visits along with the days and times for visitation. Anything could be happening there and you need to be prepared if there is no visitations allowed during the time that you want to visit. But I'm sure he will be thrilled to see you when you get there. God bless you!

That's great!! Surprise him!!!!! Since he is inconfinement then visit will be fast just make sure you don't need an appointment before you go..... I used to surprise my husband too before then i would end up waiting for him along time just to get ready.... Now I let him know a month ahead of time so he's ready before I get there...

Love!!!!

I have a friend I was doing a total surprise visit with. Never again!!!! He didnt know he was having a visit and was out on the yard and didnt hear his name being called. I would have had a 3 hour visit but by the time he was located I only had a 45 minute visit. he was happy to see me but felt bad because he had been out playing handball and was all sweaty. guys can be worse than girls when it comes to getting ready for a visit

Make sure you can visit and if so go for it ! I know not everyone likes surprises but being surrounded by men all the time I'm sure he'd appreciate the visit

[GuerosMama]

I always vote yes for a surprise visit. Who doesn't want one of those?

Go enjoy each other.

Hopefully he'll be out of confinement soon he's waiting to be transferred right now... I'll definitely make sure to check up on everything before I go just to be on the safe side! He's in work camps so they're usually pretty lenient.

Since he is so far away from you, I would plan a visit and let him know, because what if he has classes or something he has to do the day you visit?

It is up to you what you choose to do, and whatever it is, I hope you have a wonderful visit.

Peace~

I'd go.. I have thought about making my visit a surprise but I can't I try for awhile..it never works I suck at secrets! I think you should def do it, I am sure he'd be sooo happy to see you

[tsears1]

ABSOLUTELY! I bet that would make him the happiest man on earth, especially since he hasn't seen you in months! Definitely do it girl!

I used to only get one phone call a week and I got my call while I was grocery shopping on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Three minutes into the phone call, the call drops because I lost my signal. I wasn't having that. I left the groceries right there and headed out to my car and drove out to visit. At the time it was only about an hour and fifteen minute drive, so no biggie. I just usually have them planned so that I can arrage to bring his son with (I was already planning on going Sunday). He was so shocked to see me, happy but surprised. He said he was in the middle of making a hot dip with some guys. (which btw, some of the foods they make crack me up). I was a little bummed because I showed up during count and lost out on almost an hour of visit time. But I knew he wouldn't call back and I had nothing better to do with my rainy afternoon

He was of course happy to see us, but emotionally he says he likes to know when we're coming so he can also prepare himself for the fact that he has to watch us go

I would go for it... Of course they like to know but a surprise is nice once in awhile too
