One of the reasons (besides financial) that I keep working as a flight attendant is that my husband of more than 30 years doesn't care to travel-ironic that he used to work for the airlines as well? Now I travel alot with my adult children who live overseas and plan yearly family holiday trips that he has to go on.
Its so sad that my DH has pass benefits and a wife that likes to plan trips but still prefers to read and sit in his Lazy Boy chair?

First off, this thread is 4 years old. I really hope that the OP has figured something out that works for her by now. :)


If someone lacks a travel partner (spouse who is interested in travel, friends/family who have similar travel interests and you could travel with without killing, etc) then why not simply travel solo?? I love it and get to meet a lot of really fun people who wouldn't approach me if I was with someone else. Depending on where I'm going sometimes I join a tour group, sometimes I join a day tour or a partial day tour. Plan trips that you both enjoy as well but don't give up something you love just because your partner doesn't love it as well.
