When Traveling with a Date

Dear Dr. Reece
When you're traveling with a date, what's your one tip to avoid it becoming a disaster?
Thanks,
Mike


Dear Mike,

Another travel question so I thought it appropriate today since I'm in Vegas.  There isn't one tip.  There is two.  First one, planning.  You've got to be ready to be face those little challenges of dinner in the room or on the oceanfront.  Or, that trek to see Renoir versus the side trip to the National Park.  If you don't plan a bit you'll eventually have some hurt feelings because it will appear that you are always doing what the other person wants to do.  That won't be true, but it'll feel like it.   Plan, plan, plan.

Number Two, so to speak is personal privacy moments.  Yes, even when you are head over heels in love.  There has got to be some alone time, even if it's just a quick walk, a shower or a few moments at the diner.  Having a little alone time will allow you appreciate all of the good stuff going on, evaluate the thing not going right, and finally just to check in with yourself.  Everyone needs processing time to fully appreciate a date trip.
