When you’re right, you’re right — and few people I know and love have ever been as right as my friend who once sent me an email in which she laid out her key travel preferences. I nodded the entire time I was reading it, delighted that her taste and my taste in travel were in as near-perfect alignment as our taste in movies. It was almost as if she’d been reading my mind.
An excerpt:
When I travel, I’d rather spend money on lodging than food. For example, if I had $200, $190 would go to a hotel and ten bucks for dinner at the grocery store.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m all for finding the best pizza in town, or the best ice cream in town, or the best whatever. And when I’m home, I do sometimes drop a couple of hundred on a nice meal a few times a year.
