Traveling partners

If you want to know how strong a relationship is there are two sure fire ways to test it. First, you can try to do a renovation together. Between the dust and the actual work many a relationship have crumbled into pieces. The far more interesting way to see if you have a relationship that can stand the stresses and strains of life is to travel together. If you can negotiate missed directions, food choices, hotel snafus, and wandering through a country where neither of you speak the language, you probably have what it takes.
I am traveling through Europe with two close friends, who happen to be married to each other. I am happy to discover that we travel well together. There is no fussing, arguing or hurt feelings. Laid back, easy going personalities make the trip go smoothly.
The Amazing Race is onto something. Next time you watch notice how the pairs work or don't with each other. You may love someone very much but you are better off not traveling with them. An important fact to know to increase the survival rate of any kind of relationship. Thank you Verna and Bill for your friendship and company!
