Road Trip!

How do you survive a road trip with your significant other? Years ago, my ex-boyfriend and I drove from Toronto to Quebec City to visit my parents. I had done that drive a million times on my own, so I had no interest in taking time to stop and smell the roses. My ex, however, is the type who likes to take frequent breaks, get a coffee, look around and stretch his legs. A drive that normally took me about 8 hours with one pit stop took over 10 hours because we stopped numerous times. At the time, the trip felt painfully long, but in hindsight, it was the only time that I have ever checked out the Big Apple in Colborne. I have fond memories of buying a pie (delicious!) and petting the animals they keep in the back.
According to Women’s Health, here are some aspects of a road trip that could cause a spat or two:
- each wanting to follow a different route
- arguing over who gets control of the radio
- getting lost
- boredom
- where to stop to eat
