Travel Tips for Couples Embarking on their First Vacation Together

    Travel tips for couples embarking on their first vacation together.

    FOX’s Ashley Papa presents “FOX on Love”:

    If you really want to get to know a person, take a trip together.�With the unofficial start of summer, maybe you’re thinking about planning a vacation with your new sweetie.

    Travel expert, Lee Abbamonte says the first trip a couples takes together is crucial because you see each other outside your normal routines:

    (Abbamonte) “The difference when you�re home and when you�re on vacation is you�re with that person 24 hours a day in theory so you really have to kind of set rules and boundaries especially with a new person.”

    If you want your trip to make your relationship, not break it, it’s important to discuss your travel personalities.�For example, you love the beach, but your partner might prefer the pool:

    (Abbamonte) “Talk about your expectations and talk about what you�re going to do on the trip. Whether it�s money, whether it�s what your itinerary is, where you�re going to go, where you�re going to stay, what your budget is and basically how much time you�re going to spend together.”

    Since a vacation can bring out the good, the bad and the ugly in someone, remember to pack your patience.
