Off-the-Record: Friends Don’t Let Friends Ruin Vacation
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges of vacationing with friends and proposes the concept of a parallel play vacation as a solution.
The idea of a big ol’ group of friends taking a vacation sounds so fun…in theory. In practice, though, the museum friends and the beach friends are forming opposing factions, and the vegetarian friend is hovering between malnourishment and total banishment. But these problems have one elegant solution: the parallel play vacation.
