I'm pretty sure I can get away with unlimited Europe (except SZG, France, Italy and PRG, for which she must be with me). I'm pretty sure I could do Turkey, Dubai/Qatar/etc. and Morocco without her, as well.

I fear that after she goes on a Penguin binge in Cape Town, that I will no longer be able to hit up South Africa without her being present. For the same reasons, New Zealand is a no-go for solo travel.

I may have to cool it with South America for a while. She really enjoyed Buenos Aires, and I don't think she's thrilled that I checked out Colonia, Florianopolis, and Lima without her.

I'm curious to see how she reacts to ICN and HKT. If she ends up loving them, I doubt I'll be able to do much solo Asia (except the 'Stans, of course).

Ah, so a solo surf trip to Oz will cost you the air, hotel and everything associated along with a piece of jewelry. Got it.

Its not always gifts, sometimes it is "you have to cook for me 2x this week "or we go to a restaurant that she wants to go to .

You need an upfront contract before she goes to Cape Town preventing this.

That's pretty cool. Everybody wins on some level.

I'll just do an end-run around the prohibition and head to Mozambique, so I can get the cool LIS-MPM FM line on TP. :rolleyes:

I get the feeling that all honeymoon stops are off limits for solo travel since they take on somewhat of a special status with the SOs. Personally, I'm OK with that...

Perhaps the reason why I don't do MR's is because I don't live in NJ. I don't have a strong compulsion to vacate my domicile.

... err... that strong of a compulsion.

I doubt she'll get too attached to MEX, as it's only a short stop, and it's MEX. I also have my doubts about ICN. However, I'm fairly certain HKT and CPT will forever be off-limits for solo travel. I'm also quite confident that it won't take much convincing to take her back to CPT. Between the Penguins, Whales, Scenery, and Wineries, I'm convinced she'll be smitten. She wouldn't bat an eyelid if I suggested returning to New Zealand again.

The gf joked about banning the Maldives after she went on the trip with me last year and said she would like to go back there with me.
I told her she would be banned Immediately and almost made her walk the plank on the boat we were on.
