Excuse My Grandma

The Couple's Guide to Traveling Together Without Breaking Up

Excuse My Grandma

Show Notes

Kim and Grandma Gail are talking all things travel, from airport habits and packing preferences to planning a trip with your partner. As Kim prepares for a road trip through Italy and the South of France, Grandma shares her best travel advice, stories from past trips and strong opinions on everything from reclining airplane seats to checked luggage.

They also debate what makes someone a good travel partner, whether couples need to have the same vacation style and how social media has changed the way we experience new places. Plus, the duo shares a few travel horror stories, including forgotten passports, flooded hotel rooms and chaotic summer storms in the Hamptons.
