Show me a couple that claims to have never argued while abroad and I'll show you all the door.

Good article, and I've added a new phrase to my travel vocabulary - fart tube.

Good article, except I adamantly disagree with one line (probably the most important line, but whatever):
"The good news is that this isn’t inevitable."
Maybe true for normal people, but not for us.
Having been traveling together since we were in our early 20s, I just know that there will be at least one Big Fat Fight at some point during the trip, usually in the first few days. I chalk it up to jet lag and two notoriously moody people both of whose biorhythms are highly sensitive.
If we didn't love each other (and if he weren't able to make me laugh like nobody else does), we'd have killed each other long ago.

So I think this article is telling me that my desire to wander off for days at a time, regardless of where we are in the world, in search of an elusive bird could be the reason she gets so peeved?????

We got in a fight over fries in Amsterdam a few months ago. It was very mature of us, I assure you.

We once had an epic fight about directions to Costco on the Big Island of Hawaii: real classy.

This, except we can't even blame it on jetlag.

My late husband and I hardly ever argued at home, and ne never during trips.

Did I ever tell you about the cream spinach fight? We were having a dynamic discussion during dinner on the formica topped kitchen table.
I put my plate down to make a point and it broke. My husband thought I"d done it deliberately and slammed his plate down... which also broke.
Well, this really set me off and I slammed another dish down... which also broke. All the dishes were filled with creamed spinach,
After the third plate we started to laugh. But I kept finding cream spinach in strange places for weeks.

I see your epic fights and raise you. We had one over whether to get off a bus in London or not. Or whether it was OK to pick berries in Grand Teton NP.

Completely relate. I mean, should it be peppers or mayonnaise on fries. And why the f—- is Costco so hard to find when you’re hot and tired and sick of the car???
