What to do on your visits? posted: 10/09/09 at 3:54 PM

Hi!
This is basically a fun thread, let’s just compare our experiences about our visits! What do you do when you are finally together?
This is my second LDR and till now most of our visits have been quite crazy. My first visit was “normal”, I visited his city for the first time, we did lots of touristy things and I met his friends. But the last visits have been more unusual, we always spend together 4 days and the last 2 times we basically haven’t left the house or the bed..  We talk a lot, watch movies, read books for each other, cook and of course we also have some other fun.. But as soon as one of us tries to leave the flat we start kissing and stay at home. I am perfectly fine with this and I love the time we spend together! We stop caring about day and night and have lunch at 3 in the morning and go to sleep at 5 am, then in the morning we just relax in the garden and read and hug till evening. It is quite crazy and lazy, but I love it!
Of course it is difficult to answer when my family asks: so how was the visit, what did you do together? 
Now tell us what do you do mostly when you are together?
(I know the poll is not perfect, but I like polls  Please try to choose what you do most of the time.)

It was a long time ago that I was in an LDR but we did a lot of sightseeing b/c until he moved there, I had never been to the west coast.
We also spent time with friends, went clubbing & just stayed home.
If I was there for a long visit, he often had to work so sometimes I was left to my own devices & I'd be domestic around his house, go to the beach or shop.

| We basically spent the whole time travelling, on a road trip of sorts-- we saw just about every bit of Nova Scotia (where I live), as well as driving 12 hours just to spend the day in Quebec City! We did spend a couple nights at my house, and then at my uni residence, but were hardly there, hehe. We're both the kind of people who always like to be DOING, making sure to see everything that we can while we're somewhere. It was fantastic.

It depends a little bit, our first few visits together were rather touristy, I showed him around my town and took him to Pittsburgh (which was as blast) then he took my to NYC (which was also amazing). Our visits now tend to be a little more relaxed now, we'll go out and get dinner, hang out with friends, and spend a good bit of it in the sac (lol).
We've gotten into the groove of acting like a normal couple when we're together, and I think that comes from the fact that we lived 9 months together. We'll go see a movie, walk around window shopping, and we ususally end up going off roading.
I think it really just depends on our mood. We've gone camping before, mini vacays, and lounged about. I guess we like to keep it interesting.

We haven't had our first visit as an LDR couple (we were together 2 years before he moved though). But he is coming in 2 weeks for a visit and we are planning on: going to the haunted corn maze, possibly taking a day trip to our old college town and visit a couple friends, a night out on the town with a nice dinner and dancing, a hike, and then lots of time in the bedroom.
When I go visit him it will probably be very different:
The only places I have been on the East Coast are Deleware, Philadelphia, and NYC because I have family there. My boyfriend (who is now doing training over there) is compiling a list of all these different places he wants to take me when I come visit him. So I have a feeling there will be a lot of sight seeing.

Well, on our visits we spent a lot of time with each other at our houses, went out for dinner, went out with friends, went to the movies, exercised, went to baseball games [GO TIGERS even though they didn't make the playoffs], spent a lot of time with families [his family is huge]. And we are still doing all of that fun stuff after the distance ended!!

| Hmm...well first visits were just going out , getting to know each other and getting to meet and know the family and having dinners and such. However, things changed and after 2-3 visits it became to just staying at home watching tv , playing video games or studying doing homework..etc. It depends on the length of the visits as well, if we have a weekend together we would be going out to eat or to any other place to do something for fun, but if it was a long visit such a week or more then we spend few days at home and other days we go out and do something fun.

We try to cram in every little thing we can, which is probably why he ended up so stressed by the end of the summer. We meet up with my family, his family when we can (they live 4 hours away), friends (mine and his), sometime end up having to schedule dates for ourselves and, ahem, bedroom time.
Actually this last visit was really nice... we did a lot of nothing. We had a few get togethers with family and friends, and plenty of Katie and Michael time to just cuddle on the couch and watch movies. I wouldn't mind having more like that, and get into real life.

| Things have changed now that my SO is living at home (I'm still at school). This distance is less so we get to see each other more often, but since neither of us have jobs right now (I have no time, and he's looking for work without much luck) we do a lot of cheap stuff, aka watch movie we already own, go window shopping, or play games together (we're pretty big into word games and Sorry, lol). When we had money and were further apart, we were able to do more interesting things. Like when I went to visit him at school, we saw a ballet, went out to a pub with his friends and played pool, and went to party. Regardless of where we are or how long we get to spend together, we usually take a least one nap together -- it's kind of a must. Just like moonbeam said, doing nothing is awesome, and a nap is pretty much the epitome of doing nothing!

| Well our visits are always really short so mostly we don't like to do much, other than just spend some time together while we can. If one of us goes to visit the other, we either spend our time at home, or go to the movies, out for dinner, or to the beach. A lot of our visits though, we both meet up somewhere in between. These visits either consist of spending all our time in the motel room, or a lottt of driving and exploring. Once we did a trip along the coast going to all the different beaches and stuff, which was fun (we're big beach people haha).

Mmm... Well, on his first visit, I was being more like a tourist guide, hahaha... I took him around the town, meet my family, and asked him to eat any kinds of food I had in my town. It was cool, actually. At night we just spent it together in his hotel room and just did normal couple stuff. But few days before he returned to Spain, we spent the days only by sitting on his bed, hugging and kissing, because I cried a lot, hahaha...
Well, on his next visit, I am planning to take him around the town (still), meet my family, and also take him to other towns, perhaps to Bali or others. But basically, we just want to do those normal couple stuff, just like normal couples who don't live far away from each other.

| Like you all it depends on how long i am up there. most of the time it's Fri Night to early Sunday Night. The Occasional Leave the Navy grants me is when we really try to do things. Usually lots of cuddling and spending as much time with each other as possible. We're very affectionate when we're together.
