Tips for Traveling with Other Couples

We haven't gone on a long trip with friends but we do go camping for 3-4 days at a time with them 5 or 6 times each summer. The trick is to make sure each day you and your spouse do your own thing for a few hours. Even if it's just eating breakfast by yourselves, taking a nap, watching TV, going for a hike etc. Spending every waking minute with anyone puts a strain on the relationship. Your friends will want to do the same thing once they get a feel for things. Also, remember that it's better to bite your tongue than to say something that will hurt your friendship because when the trip is over, what irritated you on the trip will be forgotten quickly but what's said while irritated will be hard to forget. Life's too short. Enjoy each other and have a great time!
