My husband and I had a problem about our holiday last year. I wanted to
have a lazy seaside holiday because I was tired and needed to relax. I loved
lying in the sun, drinking iced beer and reading a good book. But Robert liked
busy, cultural holidays. He liked ‘visiting museum’s and art galleries. He hated
sunbathing because he always went red, not brown. The travel agent tried to
help us and suggested Greece. I said I love to sail to a quiet island, but of

do _ we flew to Athens together, Robert stayed there and I traveled to the
