I love children and their tantrums
I truly love children and traveling with them – who wouldn’t? The joy of needing to feed them all the time, of having to keep an eye on them to see they don’t destroy an item in a store while you’re looking away from them for a second. And don’t you just love it when they lunge at each-other in public, brawling and screaming in front of everyone? No souvenir is as precious as these memories! Now, would you get this excitement on a women-only trip? I think not.
I love to travel for work
Don’t get me wrong, I do love to travel for work – after all it has taken me to faraway places such as Greece and England. I loved getting up early in the winter when it was dark outside, and then spending the entire day indoors at meetings when the weather was glorious outside – and then, emerging from the office buildings when it was pitch dark again! How else would you learn to appreciate the interiors of buildings in foreign lands?
I adore planning everything for everyone
I love to plan everything for everyone on a family vacation – and then get criticized for it. I adore organizing every last little detail only for my family members to settle themselves in front of the TV in a resort when we reach our destination. I like handling food choices that must cater to everyone’s tastes while, again, being constantly criticized for it. Now, will a women-only trip also give me an opportunity to hone my planning and crisis management skills?
I love shopping in a hurry for others
The best part of shopping is doing it for everyone else in the least amount of time possible. I love those impatient looks that I get while I try decide what to buy. As for bargain hunting, I feel the only way anyone should do it is rushed. After going through my shopping as fast as humanly possible, I love leaving the store and being told that I still took ages in there. Now, will this ever happen on a women-only trip where everyone is cheerful and easy to get along with? I doubt it.
