Hunting Happiness

So, SomeGal is planning a trip to the big apple this summer.   She and her mother are going and I will likely be staying home.  This is due primarily to wanting to give her some quality mom-daughter time, but secondarily to saving some money.  Plus, she’ll owe me a boys-only trip some time!

Most of our friends only travel with their significant other.  The unsurprising exception to that rule is bachelor/bachelorette parties.  However, two couples we know completely break that norm and regularly travel separately.  And we’re talking about major travel, often overseas.  They do also travel together on a major trip once or twice a year.

Speaking of NYC, Madame X at My Open Wallet was kind enough to link to and make mention of this blog.  Thanks a million, Madame!  If any of her NYC-area followers are reading this, do you have any Manhattan restaurant recommendations?  We’re talking more of the hole-in-the-wall “secret” places, not the boku-bucks type places where you’re paying for name and reputation more than food or service.

What do you do for travel — how often does one of you with a significant other travel alone for pleasure?  Business doesn’t count.
