This is a very funny book about the sorts of things that happen on couple's vacations. Glad I read it. ( ) You don't have to be married to appreciate Traveling While Married. If you have ever had travel adventures or misadventures with your significant other or best beloved you will be able to identify with Mary-Lou and Larry Weisman's travels, from the days of their romantic youth to the age when the comforts of a nice hotel are preferable to a night roughing it in a life raft hanging from a Greek freighter. This is a must read for anyone who has ever had wanderlust or the itchy foot disorder. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Ah travel! New scenery, exciting adventures, time alone with a loved one. Truth is, travel can make or break a relationship. Just negotiating when to leave for the airport can be tricky: she insists on arriving hours ahead of flight time, he likes the excitement of a photo finish. But as Mary-Lou Weisman sees it, "The inevitable rage with which we begin each trip only helps us to better appreciate the good times that lie ahead." Or maybe not. When people have jet lag, can't speak the language, figure out the money, or maintain intestinal regularity, they get cranky. And since they don't know anybody else in Kyoto to take it out on, they take it out on each other. Alas, couples therapy is rarely available on vacation, which is why we need this hilarious and truthful take on travel and togetherness. Using her own misadventuresâ??from honeymoon through Elderhostelâ??Weisman exposes all the gender landmines: Destinations: He wants to outrun molten lava down a volcano, she prefers raking gravel in a Buddhist monastery. Motivations: She longs for a change of scenery, he hopes for a change of self. Preparations: She keeps a file of required sights, he won't be bullied by travel guides. Accommodations: She divides every hotel room in half so he'll know on which side of the bed to throw his wet towel. Inclinations: She shops a country, he eats it. This is the real skinny on what happens when Mars and Venus hit the road. With a sly wink, a comic nod, and just the right amount of optimism, Weisman shows us that despite the shortcomings of one's beloved, harmonious travel is possible Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
