The family has had a fight. Over some planning. Two bedroom apartment has come in handy. Everyone has retired to a room each, while I am left to the comfort of winter, winds and wine. Hence the poetic wisdom.
This is a note to self: Never fight with travel partners on a trip, especially when you'd like to travel with them again. More time is spent squabbling and sulking, than on solving and savouring. Part of what will make you a great travel companion is seldom your ability to control, but more your willingness to compromise. Speedbumps are bound to be there.
But above all, never forget, that it's a HOLIDAY for EVERYONE involved.
Embrace the tricky, live the risky, and when having a fit, drink your whisky.
