My fabulous website designer, Steve Bennett of AuthorBytes forwarded this article to me. It's full of exclamation and other silly points about how, even if a couple consists of polar opposites (like Tim and me), they can still enjoy vacationing together at certain resorts with spas, cooking classes and wine for her, but golf, fishing and beer for him.
How lovely for these mythical couples. For us, on the other hand…
Queen: Honey, let’s go to Cabo! I can take a conch cooking lesson [yeah, I know, WTF? But it’s in that stupid article], picnic with tame iguanas [ditto] and you can go deep sea fishing and work on your golf swing!
Consort: I don’t like fishing and I don’t have a golf swing.
Q: Well, I don’t like cooking and I hate bugs.
C: Iguanas aren’t bugs.
Q: Close enough.
C: So, why should we go to Cabo?
Q: What else will we do on vacation?
C: Live on the bus.
Q: That’s why we should go to Cabo.
As an aside, this does remind me that when we were in Death Valley during our bus year, we actually saw a woman taking her iguana for a hike: I stayed far away from that bug.
