Starting to Plan the Honeymoon

Well, I finally ordered (and picked up) my thank yous so now I just have to do them. I might have to let go of my intentions to send them out with photos. Because it's getting so late that I just have to DO them. I don't care what the etiquette books say, over 2 months is ridiculous and lazy.

We're also starting to talk about the honeymoon. At first we were going to plan a trip to Bali and Australia around all of John's work obligations (in Oz) in December/January. But now we're not sure that's the way to go. It might feel like the honeymoon would be secondary to all the work. That said, the idea of last night was to do something cheaper and closer to home with the intent to put more money towards my flight to Australia while he's there for the Aussie Millions.

So, the question is, what's close to home, but still feels luxurious enough? He suggested Costa Rica, and I suggest Puerto Rico (which is considered domestic by Delta and we have a 2 for 1 coupon). Actually, I think his words were "Where do you want to go that's not an adventure like Africa?". I said Peru, but that wasn't really acknowledged. Brazil, Argentina, I think these could be considered.

Do you have any suggestions? Where would you honeymoon in December? Give us some ideas.

CURRENT: Las Vegas
NEXT: L.A. (Sept. 29)

Funny. My wife and I in the middle of trying to book a very similar kind of trip. We're toying with the idea of the Pacific coasts of Costa Rica. Can't quite pull the trigger on that one though. My brother is trying to sell me on the idea of a Gourmet All Inclusive at a place in Mexico, but I don't have enough info to pull the tirgger on that as well. Let us know what you decide.

Otis,
As you know my day job is hunting down travel jobs so I'm happy to help you find resources if you want some help with that.

My friend has a blog called http://www.worldisakitchen.com/

There are culinary tours, classes and other stuff. You could ask Susan if she knows of any Mexican retreats. I think I have one in my files.

Also check with Shaw Guides.

Good luck,
Jen
