Will This Be Another No-Sex Vacation?

Will This Be Another No-Sex Vacation?

(check out my blog every Wednesday)

I'm planning another trip with Rob and it feels so strange. How can you keep a straight face when you are planning what is essentially a romantic getaway with a guy who is only best buddy (even while he is your husband)? It's awkward, to say the least.

This trip is on honor of Rob's birthday, and we're tacking it onto a business trip I'm taking to Phoenix. Rob will join me when my week is done, and we'll drive up to Sedona for a couple of days. We'll check out the Grand Canyon as well.

Fun! The awkward bit is the hotel room in Sedona. Since it's his birthday, I made a big deal of checking out the options online together. Like an out-of-control snowball we went from wanting a "nice place" to "cool room" to "with fireplace" to "with Jacuzzi." The options were there, and we have the money, so the whole thing just sort of blossomed and now we're staying in what can only be called a romantic suite. 

But of course, we are never romantic.

I can just imagine the moment we arrive. If there are flowers or wine, will we feel pressure to play along? Or will we feel even more woefully in adequate if, as we leave on the last day, we shut the door on an unused suite?

But that's negative thinking. There's always potential, right? They say those red rocks around Sedona are magical. Maybe we'll see just how magical they are!
