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.
