Yoyo You make a good point. Day or weekend trips can be a respite also. My W tends to think in big terms with high expectations--trips to Hawaii, geting away for a week (not unreasonable), beach vacations.
I recently joined the local chapter of a ballroom dance organization so I could start receiving their newsletter and national magazine, so that I can become aware of events that my W and I would be interested in attending. A trip to a city that was hosting a dance competition might be fun.
Thanks for the ideas. I'm feeling pressure to come-up with a vacation idea and plan soon, but maybe I need to not let my myself try to meet those expectations.
