Example: We have a joke that it isn't a family vacation without someone crying in the Thrun family. Why? Because in our family we all have the unfortunate traits of having to be in control, always right and if stress enters the mix then comes the over emotional yelling with a finale of me crying. There was the navigational mix-up of 1996, canoe disaster of 1999 and many others.
We have learned a few lessons, like if at all possible avoid driving, planning days and transportation ahead of time is a life saver, and we will probably never go on a canoe trip again.
So this leads me to my new worry, can I keep some of my largest flaws in check while traveling with Derek? So far the only thing that I know is to bring snacks in my bag for his hungry anger. But what should I warn him about? That I need to be the first to find where we are on the map? That I can only spend 2 hours in a museum, max? And oh! the uncontrollable tears! We have only traveled to places one of us have already been, so that was easy, international travel seems much more daunting.
I know the truth will come out, so I guess this is my warning and my forward apology to him.
