Oh, sorry Trista, I misunderstood.

I agree with you. I'd be po'd if my DH never wanted to take vacations with me, but had no problem taking out a complete stranger because he's in the area. Seems very unbalanced to me.

Does he not see how unfair it is that he gets to sightsee and you don't? What does he say about that? I think you need to gradually push to teach him how to be less tight with money. Didn't you say before that he just doesn't like to spend money on vacations? I used to be a tightwad too, until my DH taught me how to "live a little". He did it very gradually though.

You can't take it with you when you go, you might as well spend it while you're here!

Would he go if you just planned a vacation w/o telling him then said "pack your bags we're going on vacation!!"?
