Traveling Together For The First Time

By Cindy Crawferd

It been a few good months since you and your mate met on an internet dating site and you finally feel like the time has come for you to take your first trip together. You have traveled with your family and you have traveled with your friends.

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 and foremost you need to decide on a destination. For some this means going anywhere tropical as long as there's beach and a bar. Others aren't into the heat and prefer going someplace cooler; perhaps taking in some skiing. If you and your sweetie are at opposite poles as far as destination is concerned, you've got some talking, and some compromising to do.

Second, you need to talk about when you are planning to travel. What time of the year is better to take a trip? This may differ for both people.

Third, you have to decide how much time to take. This is significant because both people may not have the same amount of time off. For example: Have either of you just started a new job recently? As we know, in most cases we have to be on a new job for at least 6 months before taking a vacation.

Once you have these details ironed out you need to compare vacation styles. Some want nothing more than to relax while on vacation. After all, they reason, that's what a vacation is for; relaxing. Others want to hit every single site and tourist attraction within a hundred mile radius.

This total contrast in vacation styles can clash and make for a frustrating trip. It may important to compromise to make sure that each individual can get some of the things they are important to them. It is not necessary to spend every second with a specific mission in mind, nor is it productive to spend all your time relaxing.

Take turns doing the things you each enjoy; you'll find your trip mutually satisfying. Your first trip together is supposed to be a fun time of getting to learn more about each other. The best way to do that is to get the issues out of the way before you board the plane.
