In this episode of Drinks with the Dinks, we’re pouring one out for friendship. 🍻 We share our own story of becoming friends, the ups and downs of our friend group, and how those dynamics shift as life changes. From navigating childfree vs. parent friendships, to spotting the red flags (and celebrating the green ones) that make or break a bond, we get real about what it takes to keep connections strong over the years.

Ever wonder what happens when those picture-perfect vacation photos disappear from social media? The raw, unfiltered moments of couple travel are exactly what we're diving into this week. From crying behind sunglasses after an argument to the strategic coordination required when navigating new destinations together, we're pulling back the curtain on what traveling as a childless couple really looks like.

We take you through our favorite destinations, with the Pacific Northwest and particularly the San Juan Islands holding special places in our hearts. Emma shares her emotional connection to seeing wild orcas and how that experience shaped our travel preferences moving forward. You'll hear about our division of travel labor (spoiler: one of us does all the planning while the other just drives), and the infamous "Yellowstone Breakfast Incident" that nearly ruined an entire day of wildlife viewing when hunger and poor communication collided.

Perhaps most revealing is our comparison between traveling alone versus with friends who have children. After recently experiencing both scenarios, we break down the stark differences in flexibility, cost, and overall vacation experience. While we treasure our time with friends and their kids, we candidly discuss why child-free travel works best for our relationship—from sleeping in separate hotel beds to spontaneously changing plans without considering nap schedules.

Whether you're the planner or the driver in your relationship, you'll find yourself nodding along to our travel tribulations and triumphs. Share your own vacation argument stories with us—we're convinced we can't be the only ones who fight over missed turns and forgotten phones while still posting those "relationship goals" photos hours later.
