Pre Trip Fights

Posted by Dan Florio May 21, 2006

It's nice to know you're not alone when it comes to being imperfect. In other words, travel stresses other people out as well.

It's a conundrum. Hey, isn't travel supposed to be fun? Don't we all dream of being able to travel? So why should my wife and I have our nearly-expected pre-trip arguments?

Well, I just got an email from a fellow travel writer here (I won't give away just who), who shared some tips on how to de-stress before packing for a trip and the "inevitable pre-flight fight" with the spouse.

Which actually goes a long way towards making me feel better about myself and my own marriage. I mean, it's not just me and the wife, right? Travel DOES create unusual pressures. Life stress, if you will.

Jill and I normally get along just fine. But sometimes I really think travel brings out the bear in each of us. Or at least in her. He he. Like I said, I'm perfect, right??? ;-)
