Girlawhirl and her Super Pals are throwing around the idea of vacationing together this summer en masse. And while she's not sure that it will really happen, one savvy friend raised an interesting question: would they all be able to get along 24-7 for an extended period of time? Girlawhirl gave it some thought and realized that she's been traveling for years – for work – with groups of people that she wouldn't necessarily choose to spend so much time with if she didn't have to.
