I started doing a bit of research on traveling in Spain. I've come to think that it's mostly North Americans that welcome shorts as regular attire in the summer.

Apparently, women tend to wear skirts and dresses in the summer (in fact, you get funny looks for wearing shorts whether you're male or female). Can anyone confirm this?? (Whatever happened to Andaloo?? He used to post here, and he lives in Spain...) I just bought some shorts for the upcoming trip!

Anyway, when I travel, I am a go-go-go kind of person. I'm okay with being up early and doing stuff well into the night. (No wonder I always feel like I need a vacation after a vacation...). I want to squeeze everything in. So imagine my reaction when I find out Mr. Nick is completely serious about wanting to do *nothing* but lay on a beach for 3 days in Spain.

My knee-jerk reaction was to put up the wall...not go to Spain at all...or see Spain all by myself while Mr. Nick did his beach thing. Being in Spain, I'd want to hang with Mr. Nick, but I'd want to get the most out of whatever city we're in (and not alone). Now I don't even want to plan anything :(
