SadandConfusedWA Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 I do all the planning and prefer it that way. I am so picky in where I am staying that it's better that way. I also do all planning and booking for family holidays (when I go with my parents) and also with friends. In case someone else does the planning I tend to hate what they chose and feel the entire holiday.
Trialbyfire Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Type A personality! I hate waiting too but there isn't any other way for us to get to where we want to go. We can drive but lately, I hate driving more than 30 minutes! Even movies with a slow start gets to me. If we plan to drive to Phi Phi Island, it will take 8 hours! Busted and have fully embraced it, long time ago! 8 hours is quite a drive, unless you have a long vacation planned, where you're going to stop for sights or you want to test a new performance car and see if you can't make it in 6 hours! Beyond that...boring!
mem11363 Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Channeling my wife to a t...... Hey I do NOT mind her making the reservations. Along with what jerbear said, I don't enjoy "nose-upturning" episodes. "Oh, we are staying... there... well, I guess the cuter hotels were all booked... no it's ok... they do have running water, right?" "Did you even check for a cheaper fare on www.cheapww1biplanetix.com? no?... well ok, then, let me go and pick another bushel of MONEY from the MONEY TREE you have out back before we leave." "You didn't get a reservation at Chez Crustacean? Well of course eating at 11:00 PM is fine with me, had I been asked. Oh you -assumed- well let me tell you something about -assuming- things..." "Honey, I'm sunburned! the sun on this beach is too HOT, why couldn't you have gotten a hotel on the COOL beach?" "I am not sleeping in that bed. Did you -specifically- ask for the fraternity suite? Maybe we should just call up some hookers and have a stag party, looks like there was one here earlier today." "Your actually going to tip for that drink? Where did you find this place, a matchbook cover?"
CrestfallenNoMore Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 I always made the plans. I cared, and he didn't, so it was easy. I've found that women care more where they lay their head at night than men do (as general rule). Men care more about what they're going to do when they get there, while women are more concerned about setting up a nice "home base." Again, just a general observation, I'm sure there are exceptions.
