You met your new sweetie on an internet dating site. After months of dating you've reached the point where you want to take your first trip together. You're no novice to travelling; you've travelled in the past with friends and family.
As a matter of fact, that travelling went so well you figure that your trip as a couple should be a piece of cake. With icing and sugar on top. And you're probably right, but you do need to remember that not everyone travels like you do. We all have different expectations, so here are a few things you might want to consider before heading to the travel agent.
First, you need to talk and decide where you want to go. Some people enjoy going to tropical places just to chill out on the beach and totally relax. Other people enjoy traveling to a cooler climate and enjoying events like skiing. Depending on each of your preferences, this is going to be something to definitely discuss and come to some sort of compromise.
When are you going to take your trip? Next week, next month or next season? You may each have different ideas about when the best time to take a trip is.
The next thing to decide is how long are you going away for? You might have two weeks of vacation, your girl/boyfriend may only have one. If either of you have just started a new job, chances are you're not eligible to vacation time, so you'll need to decide if you can afford to take unpaid time off.
Once these details have been ironed out and you both embark on your travel, the next thing to think about is your vacation styles. There are people who want to spend every waking moment visiting every site and tourist attraction available, while others like to relax. They figure the reason they took the time off was to relax and rejuvenate.
Totally contrasting vacation styles can be very frustrating. Without some kind of plan, you're sure to clash. If this sounds like you and your partner, you'll have to compromise to ensure that you each get in some of the things that are important to you. Don't forget, you don't need to spend every minute of your vacation together.
If both people agree to take turns doing things they enjoy, the trip can be satisfying to both parties involved. Traveling together for the first time is meant to be a fun way to learn more about one another and the best way to insure its success is to talk about it as much as possible before boarding the plane. - 32510
