Nice to hear of other teenage sweethearts - it's kind of rare these days, don't you find?

Nice to hear of other teenage sweethearts – it’s kind of rare these days, don’t you find?

Having done a lot of traveling with my wife (we're also highschool sweethearts), I can attest to the last two of your comments re: communication and negotiation. Strangely, a lot of our conflicts while traveling come from where and how we eat...she's got a much more narrow range of foods that she likes, so she's normally the limiting factor on where we can go. But I like to spend more time in museums than she does, so we both have our different demands. Keep up the great work. I look forward to reading your future articles. Lea,

We use a simple tool - <a> My Day, Your Day</a> - to share the responsibility of the logistical details that neither of us particularly enjoy. It also helps us move on with insignificant decisions (like where to have lunch) so we can focus on more important issues. As Lea wrote, communicate, communicate and communicate!

I travel by myself most of the time, so it can be fun sometimes to travel with like minded people.

It should be a fun experiance. We love it, and what really makes it work for us is that we understand that we don't have to do everything together. Doing things seperatly and agreeing to meet up at say dinner gives you a lot to talk about, and gives you that space that you need. Couples will have different intrests so there is no need to force the other to do something that they don't want. My wife is much more active than me. I would rather golf or take an early morning walk and a nap in the afternoon. She likes to sleep in and be active until the sun goes down. But we always are together in the evening and we always have a lot to talk about. While traveling we frequently laugh at how many people are unhappy while traveling. It should be a fun experiance.
