> It sounds wonderful, except for the other couple. I think I have to agree about that. My husband and I consider traveling together is a good test for whether or not a couple should marry since every flaw is exaggerated. So going with people you wouldn't consider marrying would be difficult.
>When we parted at the airport, they both thanked us for letting them "tag along" on our vacation. It would have been more apt to have said "weighed you down" or "completely bogged the whole trip down like a couple of gigantic boulders." When I saw the guy coming out of the parking garage with a pile of laundry, I think I might have shrieked, if only faintly. At that point, I was past caring whether he might have heard me (and he was definitely impervious to any suggestions that carrying one's luggage up to the room was an improvement on literally traipsing your dirty clothes through the parking lot).
> From what I understand, that is a gorgeous area. A wonderful place for a get away from it all (even Babble) vacation.

>It really was one of the loveliest parts of the world I've seen yet. Particularly Aix-en-Provence, where Cezanne lived and painted. The extraordinary colours and light made me realize that he captured them quite exactly and realistically in his paintings - breathtaking!
