[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH doesn't plan. I honestly don't think he cares what we do, he'll go along.

I do all the trip research and reservations since I don't like to waste time when we get there, but to maximize our vacation time.

Though once the trip starts, I'm "off the clock". He takes over with the logistics - all the driving, gates, paperwork, etc. Not completely balance, but nice division of work.[/quote]

OP: I could see how this could possibly work, in a marriage. It's a bit awkward when just dating, because there is also the issue of cost. If I am booking the hotel, it's on my credit card, and then we have to talk about who pays for what, and I also need to know if it's within his budget.[/quote]

Tell him you can't do a weekend away until you two agree on a budget and basic itinerary, and that you need to know by x date so you can make alternate plans. 
Adults with kids and budgets can't be completely spontaneous, and it sounds like you don't want to travel somewhere just to read. You guys may not be a fit.[/quote]
