Planning Our Honeymoon
I've added a little poll to the blog. See it over there? Just to the right? If you're here before March 1, then you can help us decide by submitting your answer. Since this will likely be the last time for a long time that we will be able to go on a big trip, we want to make it something special. So, random passerby, friend or family member, I'd love your thoughts. If non of the options seem good, add a comment! My thoughts...
- Relaxing and exciting, depending on the day
Scuba diving would be a huge plus. And beaches are great... but for a day or so, then it gets boring. A new culture and exotic food also big pluses.
- Can plan it ourselves
So no cruise or all-inclusive.
- Good weather in November
No Caribbean, most of the Northern Hemisphere. Japan would have been great... but too cold in November. Booo on the Sun heating up the Southern Hemisphere when we're not there.
- Somewhere neither of us have been
This knocks out most of Europe. Besides the Big Trip, we've made some separate trips that cancel out Spain, Eastern Europe, Ireland & Greece, among others. All of which could have been good options. I've seen a good deal of the US and Dana's been to Costa Rica already. Obviously Australia & New Zealand are also out.
So we found ourselves thinking about South America, specifically Brazil and Argentina. In Brazil we could check the Amazon before or after doing some great diving and sun-bathing. In Argentina, there are loads of interesting parks and gorgeous places to hike. Buenos Aires would feed us well. Plus Dana's fluent in Spanish, and I can get by. And we also are giving Hawaii a thought. My parents loved it 40 years ago.
Your thoughts, human?

Edit: Brazil is also the name of my favorite movie and my favorite song. This could be a minus since the song would be in my head the entire time, causing me to sing it to Dana and driving her insane. And quoting the movie wouldn't be too smooth either.
"How are the twins?"
"Triplets."
"Triplets! How time flies."
Hawaii is a cliche, darlings. Go for an anniversary, but not the biggee.
I'm going to add in a new thought in the South/Central America catagory. Galapagos. Hiking, scuba, sun, swimming, nature--boat sex.
if you are thinking south america why not costa rica?
but if you are going out your way to do a green weeding, would it not defeat that purpose in honeymooning in far off lands? what with the carbon footprint of flying and all.
Dana spent a lot of time in Costa Rica. And that's a good point about the impact of flying... however, we live pretty green every day, and a honeymoon is special enough to cash in some of the personal carbon trading chips we've saved.
Canada.
How about Vietnam? Great food, amazing beaches, scuba is a huge hit and the Bia Hoi (local draft beer) is a bargain at less than 10pence per glass! Sounds perfect for you two!
