You’re young, single and rising up the corporate ladder. You want to see the world but your travel partners are your college buddies or maybe other male executives. Traveling as a couple is markedly different than with your single guy friends. With a significant other you might stay at a spa hotel or bed & breakfast. Your activities consist of joint massages and romantic dinners.

Does it really come as a surprise that the more we know the more difficult things become? We create products to simplify our lives but in doing so make our lives more complicated—take cell phones and e-mail for example. It’s great when you can check movie times or game stats while waiting in line at the bank but when all you want to do is sip a Pina Colada on a sandy beach, that email notification emanating from your Treo can get pretty darn old.
