Yeah, traveling with an SO can totally suck. I'm learning that in
order to travel with Lisa successfully, I need to make sure that we
talk extensively in advance about what our expectations are, and
that I'm willing to go off and do stuff by myself if she doesn't
want to.
We're going away for the weekend tonight for the first time in
awhile, and I have my fingers crossed.
