By 5 a.m. Friday morning I will be in a car on the road to Charleston. For those of you unfamiliar with journalist's hours, this is very early for me.
But I'm excited because it's the start of a whirlwind weekend in which my boyfriend and I visit three cities in three days: Charleston, S.C., Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Wilmington, N.C. Although we have been on long weekends before, we usually met up with friends while we traveled. When we went to Savannah for St. Patrick's Day, we stayed with another couple. But not this time. It's all on us.
The first big trip can be a trying time for a couple. It's a time when the pair are around each other 24 hours a day, with no work or other scheduling conflicts in between. There are going to be things he wants to do that she doesn't and vice versa. The two will learn even more about each other and their habits as well. The key to a trip is compromise, and if all goes well, the couple will come out stronger than they went in.
What do you think? Can a trip make or break a relationship? Is there anything you've learned on trips with your sweetie? What was your first big trip like?

Our first trip together was our honeymoon... It was great :))))))
Since then it's a habit. We always go away for our anniversary, even if we don't have much to spend and it has to be a weekend not too far away. It doesn't matter. We love travelling together. It's still some of the best time we spend in each other's company, ten years later. Going places... no worries, no plans.
