<human>: Hi everyone!

My boyfriend and I have been together about five months now. Things are great. He works a very stressful job and is frequently scheduled for 70+ hours a week, not including the fact that he is on call when he's not at work, barely gets any sleep or time to pursue the activities he enjoys doing such as writing, running, playing video games, shooting, etc. He has been extremely burned out lately and really needs time off.

This weekend we were supposed to go out of town since it's a long weekend off of work for me, and he had requested the days off weeks ago. Of course, his bosses did not approve the days off, so he can't go. I'm going to New Orleans by myself now from Thursday night to early Monday morning.

I know how disappointed he is, and I want to surprise him with something that will cheer him up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Initially I was thinking of bringing a picture of him with me and taking pictures of it everywhere, but then I thought that was too cheesy. I plan on bringing back a little souvenir or two for him as well. Any other ideas?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: My boyfriend who works extremely hard couldn't get the weekend off and go out of town with me like we planned. He's very disappointed. What can I do to surprise him and cheer him up?
