who has ever taken a provider with them on a vacation?? It sounds like it would be a blast as you can pretty much have the experience of travelling with a girlfriend but not worry about any normal problems you might run into with a girlfriend on a trip. Any thoughts, comments, etc would be appreciated.

In both instances, I also knew the real name of my companion (and she knew mine). While this may not be absolutely necessary on a domestic jaunt, on the trip I was on that involved international legs, I almost think it's a matter of each other's safety and security. Like when the immigration officer asks if you are traveling with anyone. "Yes, this lady. Her name? That's a good question"
Of course, there is the fantastic conversation you will inevitably have when another couple asks you how you met. My friend and I had too much fun ad libing with the poor couple completely out of the joke. Which makes it so much better...
I referred to her for the rest of the trip as Mrs. Kensington.
