Wow!<br />Pseu/Duchesse -- yes, there's an art to travelling together and it doesn't always require being joined at the hip. Pater and I spend so much time apart, living in different cities through the week, that we try to maximize together time here, but I'd never let him take the blame for me not seeing something I want to see. We sometimes split up for me to shop while he sits at a nearby cafe with Le Monde -- he's such a news junkie, he loves spending a few hours on his own like that. And we're really thinking about your approach, Duchesse, of taking an apartment for a few weeks -- hotel life is not very satisfactory for this long -- I'm longing for a meal I've cooked myself!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-80782913463562887922009-06-15T07:31:03.168-07:002009-06-15T07:31:03.168-07:00Your booties are formidable!

I am always stunned when someone tells me "I wanted to get to (a place) but my husband didn't want to go". One time Le Duc was leading a GF and I through Paris on a forced march, he was so eager for her to see it "all". We rebelled after an hour, and he left us to wander twisty streets, poking into whatever caught our eye.

Fortunately we both seem to get over them quickly. I've learned that for us it's better to have a set agenda. He likes predictability and I love spontenaety, so the last time I planned in a "free" day toward the end of the trip for wandering and poking our noses into whatever shops caught our eye. It seemed to work well for us.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
