Transcript
How to make sure your next trip with your wife or girlfriend good. Horribly, one, book the most inconvenient travel route at the most inconvenient time. Two, make sure she schleps her own bags all around the airport, and do not prebook her baggage allowance, and instead argue with the check-in person saying you thought it was. Included, three, do not communicate a thing about the trip with your partner and instead try to surprise them. Four, do not incur the additional expense and only book the bear. Minimum of five, have no logistics in place and always scramble when going from a to b, particularly when you and your partner are carrying your bags and feeling stress. Six, don't travel with any cash, and instead of politely tipping every service person that you interact with, apologize for having no cash on you. Seven, do not ask any locals for recommendations. And eight, dress as flashy as you can to make sure you and your partner both tier robbed. And that's exactly
