Thanks to you ...Hi, Jolie, Garce, Karin and Helen!<br /><br />Thanks to you all for your comments.<br /><br />Garce - Actually, my husband and I began our time living together (two years before we married) with a two week cross-country drive. We hardly knew each other, really, yet it felt as though we'd known each other forever. Somehow we just got along. One of our colleagues says we should write a book about how to have such an amicable marriage. But I think it was mostly luck!<br /><br />Jolie, when you are in Barcelona, do not miss the Gaudi cathedral. It's a building out of some crazy dream. I've never been to Monaco or Ventimiglia, but I loved Nice, the atmosphere of faded grandeur.<br /><br />Helen - I've only listed some of the top trips! A slide show of our best photos would take hours!<br /><br />Karin, we've done some camping too, in the Sierras and the Adirondacks. I'll never forget an early overnight on Mount Shasta, under the stars. These days, though, our old bones can't really take sleeping on the ground!Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-82004191630105184442009-07-26T13:25:33.770-04:002009-07-26T13:25:33.770-04:00Amazing!

Eh?<br /><br />Excuse me, I couldn't help slipping into Monty Python for a moment.<br /><br />Sounds like a wonderful marriage, as well as several wonderful trips. No wonder your husband swept you off your feet!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832774182683343435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-27681187274493530082009-07-26T12:17:32.096-04:002009-07-26T12:17:32.096-04:00My husband and I also like to travel.

You have some wonderful memories, and...Hi Lisabet!<br /><br />You have some wonderful memories, and 29 years worth of traveling together. I think traveling with someone is a real test of the relationship, since so much of marriage is like that. If you can get along in a car on a long road trip, you can probbaly handle the harder stuff.<br /><br />Good post.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-5959124987024510782009-07-26T10:28:35.135-04:002009-07-26T10:28:35.135-04:00I'm from a family that has traveled all over t...I'm from a family that has traveled all over the world. (This past June I spent about 10 days with my family visiting Nice, Monaco and Ventimiglia, Italy. Next June we'll rendezvous in Barcelona, Spain. I'm lucky to come from a family that can afford to travel.)<br /><br />But my favorite vacations are when I'm alone with my husband in Mexico. No computer. No kids.<br /><br />Jolie du PreJolie du Prehttp://www.joliedupre.comnoreply@blogger.com
