    I plan way in advance. I even sometimes check years in advance to where my husband's physics conferences will be because if it's a place worth it for us all to go we can plan it as a family trip. I think my husband is more last minute. We both contribute to the planning.

    That makes a lot of sense @BinaryPulsar What is your favorite place you have visited with your family as a result of your husband's conferences?

    Usually we just go if it's near friends or family. Otherwise it's generally easier for him to go. All the conferences are in the US. We live in Canada. I have family in Boston, and California. He has family in New Jersey. We have friends in all three places. We lived in California for seven years and have many friends there. So, soon we will go with him to a conference in California. He has another conference before that (I can't remember where, it was a surprise). There is an annual conference he always goes to. And then surprise trips for presentations. The last time we went was when it was in Rhode Island. And we visited Vermont (we met there in college), Boston, and New Jersey. It was during hurricane Sandy. And we take fun trips nearby in British Columbia, where we live. Lots of nice places here. I have also been to India on my own. And when I was in India, my husband was kayaking with a biologist friend through the everglades and camping on docks. They were collecting bug samples. And were with alligators and sharks. Yikes!!!

    We were travelling across the US after our wedding. We lived in NY when we were married there (upstate), so we did a honeymoon stop at Niagara Falls, and then across the country.

    I love to travel. We have been to Cuba, Costa Rica. Dominican Republic and I have travelled from Ontario to British Columbia. I usually plan the trips as Mr works away from home and I have way better computer skills. Anyone remember going to a travel agent to book trips.

    Yes, travel agents, one of the many jobs that have all but disappeared with the rise of the World Wide Web.

    Hey everyone........when it comes to planning a vacation, do you get involved in the planning with your spouse or is the other person the one who lays out the trip? Are you married to someone who plans months and months in advance or are they spontaneous and like to surprise you on a Friday evening with weekend plans out of town?

    I'm usually the one who plans and yes I do it months & months ahead of time. Our schedules are such that we have to schedule time off well in advance if we want more than a day. Plus I'm cheap and like to get low fares with plenty of time to save. Lol

    I think it's amazing how many services are now available online. The web has made the world a smaller planet for certain!

    It seems like the Chit-Chat section is designed only for singles. Some of us are happily married. :) I would love to meet some other married MFP!

    Definitely can understand that! I'm married as well and love chatting!

    Most of the threads seemed to be based around people wanting affirmation that they're good looking. Glad to find a normal thread.
