My husband, Richard, and I always seem to agree on vacation destinations and what we want to do while on vacation.  I figure that makes us pretty lucky, because some couples have very different perceptions of what a great vacation consists of.  Not that we are experienced world travelers, but no matter where we end up, we always have a great time together.

After we were married awhile, Richard began talking about traveling Route 66.  For the first time ever, I disagreed with his travel plans.  I thought, “No way!  That’s NOT for me!  Why would I want to drive on some broke down road and see what?  Dirt?  Chunks of broken pavement?  An old house falling down?”  I was supportive of his quest, but it was not my idea of fun.
