When we travel, I make a full itinerary. It’s not exhausting or anything.. plenty of down time to wander around or relax. But knowing where you have reservations each day and knowing ahead what days you plan to visit each thing you want to see makes vacation actually LESS chaotic than it would be without a plan. You’re not sitting there for an hour a day using phone maps and Yelp to figure out where to get a good meal. You don’t have to wait anywhere. Tickets bought in advance, dinner reservations made in advance, etc


This is pretty much the approach we take to vacations. Semi-structured. We don't want to run all over the place with every minute planned out but we also don't want to have no plans for the day. Unless that's the plan for the day. The wife doesn't enjoy the stress of planning vacations so it's left up to me to find cool shite to do. Step 1, go somewhere cool.

Years of pressure and her just assuming it was a done deal

Oh, and it didn’t work out. What a shocker

I always tell the story that she gave me an ultimatum. I'm a procrastinator anyway, but we were at the point where she was fixing to be homeless because her mom was about to remarry and move 1,000 miles away so we finally said screw it might as well get married. There was really no traditional proposal we were just talking about it and said WTF let's go for it.

We downed a liter of tequila one shot at a time - when we awoke the next morning she asked if I had proposed to her the night before. Not actually remembering, but not wanting to embarrass her, I told her I did. We were married for 48 years.

My family is very last minute type of people and you'd think the world was ending if we get invited on a Thursday to go to my parent's house that Saturday. My kitchen table is also always littered with lists and notes of things she needs to do. She's killed a forest bc she feels the need to write down " 1. take out trash 2. cook dinner 3. pay bills every freaking day.

That was close to my wife before she met me. She's gotten used to the call/text at 5:30 from my dad or brother saying they're cooking if we want to come eat at 6:00.

She was smokin hot with magnificent tits. Looked like a young Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn and she was into me.

Lightning in a bottle. I put a ring on it.
