Aw, that's so sweet - thanks for that Jeff! Still think I prefer to travel solo though.

Barb - Don’t suppose traveling solo has anything to do with this:

But seriously. As opposed to travelling alone, increase by 50% the time required to see the same amount if you add one travelling companion. Increase by 85% for a third travelling companion. For every additional travelling companion, add 1 hour per daytrip (figuring in bathroom needs, ATM needs, looking for pharmacies for odd creams or pills, rare and odd shopping obsessions, foot problems, need to call home right away - - where is a phone & where can you buy a phone card?, strange obsessions with certain forms of food including debating for two hours while searching for a restaurant, need to buy a new SD card for the camera, and sundry emotional breakdowns, personal hang-ups, and bouts of sheer out-and-out hysteria).

Excellent advice if you are a penguin or ant, terrible advice if you have to travel with my sister and her SO>

dfourh - Love your percentage analysis. Never thought of that way, but that’s a big reason why I travel solo.

Aducham1 - So funny! Hope they aren’t reading your comment. But have to assume if they were fellow Fodorites, they’d probably be better travel companions.

They do not read it. At least they tell me they do not.
