So True

OK this comic strip in the paper today actually made me laugh out loud so I had to share with fellow travelers:

"Overboard" by Chip Dunham

To all the people with whom I've traveled or stayed: I still love you!! Hahah! And I KNOW that is a blessing and also a small accomplishment. I've traveled with family, friends, and significant others and yes, even a trip to the grocery store can be a true test of patience.

I spent the entire month of October 2013 traveling with one man, who as a result has earned penance for any and all sins he has ever committed in life. On our last flight together at some point in early November he looked at me and confessed that he genuinely had a really good time with me. He expressed shock and relief that we got along so well and did not even fight once. What a sweetheart! It was true- we got on swimmingly =) Admittedly I was also very nervous about spending a whole month with one person, especially someone with whom I haven't even tried to spend one night. Since he's a pretty mellow guy I assumed I wouldn't tire of him as quickly as he'd tire of me and all my quirks, but luckily all went smoothly. It was even better to get an unprompted confirmation of this from him. My confession? A few months later, I actually kind of miss him! What a joy it is to find a compatible travel partner.
