Travel tip

Travel can be fun and exciting, but when it is an essesntail part of your life it can create problems with relationships. Traveling through OHARE to speak at Vistage in Atlanta, I overheard several cell phone converstations, they are everywhere, rushing between gates in different terminals. Without knowing who was on the other end of the conversation and not knowing what they were saying, in many cases my perception was that the call was not that pleasant, a relationship dealing with issues long distance.
Why not travel with CATS! When you call your significant other use the term CATS.
C: Crisises, deal with the crisises first. What ever is troubling deal with it first.
A: Adoration, assuming you are still madly in love, do what you normally do when face to face. Comment how much you adore them.
T: Talk, make sure there is enough time to talk. Some couple need a lot of time to just talk, so make sure you have enough time before you need to hang up.
S: Sweet goodbyes, never end the call without sweet goodbyes. Without seeing the body language we can misinterpret comments that leave doubts. So always end on a happy note.
What tips do you have to keep your relationship well when you are on he road?
Cheers, Larry
