Where did you honeymoon?

[Z-man]

My honeymoon was in Hawaii - Maui and Oahu.

We went back for our ten year anniversary in 2004 - visited Kauai and Maui.

I'm hoping we get to go back in 2006 - maybe start planning moving over there... Love the Hawaian Islands - they are paradise!

-Z-man.

Better win the lotto. Was there recently and the house inflation rate for the LAST FRIGGING YEAR on Maui was 850%!!! This is not a typo, it was 850%.

Anyone who can afford a house there, buy it now, hold onto it for a year or two and more than double your money. How long it will hold up is anyone's guess but I for one cannot afford it there...

Well...

We got married in July, and haven't taken our honeymoon yet. My wife's family has an incredible 100 yr old cottage on the river, so we just kicked everyone out after the wedding (that's where we got married), and stayed there for a week. Great weather, and no logistics. Plus, it's kinda nuts to leave that place in the summer, considering we're so lucky to have it.


(Not a great picture of the cottage itself, this one is taken from the back, but you can get a sense for the setting)

We are still planning on taking a honeymoon in fall '06. We're flying into the US to buy a 911, and driving it back. I'd like to find one in Texas... that would be a cool trip. California would be great too if I can get the time off.

Got married on the back of a train (White Pass Railroad) on our way to the Loughton Glacier just north of Skagway, Alaska. The brakeman was one of our witnesses.

The following morning we hiked the Chilkoot trail from Alaska over the pass into Canada. 35 miles over rough terrain carrying 60lb packs. What a honeymoon!!!

That awsome I would have loved that! I'm a big railroad enthusiast.

As long as I can make ends meet, that's all that matters...

My wife can teach - the turnaround for teachers is very high in Hawaii. Me? I can either rent surfboards to the dumb toursist, or work as a cabana boy. (Sorry Mrs. Silvertone, I am not allowed to rub suntan lotion on your body... hotel regulations, ya know. Oh, and the senior citizens discount doesn't apply to the poolside snack bar! ) Or, I can be the hired hand on the catamaran tours up the Na Pali coast.

We'll buy a meager home on the other side of the island, and make due.

And on Kauai, there are wild chickens all over the place - so if our plans turn out ot be two unemployeed people sleeping in a shack on the beach, we can always have chicken! (The hurricane a few years back destroyed the chicken coops, and they literally are everywhere on the Island - they have no natural predators there!)

In all seriousness, when we were there back in 2004, not a day went by where we didn't seriously talk about moving there permanently...

Considering that CC was married to a Greek gent, believe that it was probably somewhere in the Greek islands, and not a sort of lubricant.

Course coming from the Lubmeister you are one of the few who could get away with this one!

You just made my day. Seriously.

When I tell my wife, it will make her day too.

I want to go back there so bad. It is a great area. There is lots to do in the area, but the mood is laid back. Cancun, Cozumel, Chichen Itza are all relatively close by.

Secrets Capri itself is heaven on earth. Adults only, all-inclusive, and a relatively small resort too. I never had to wait for anything, ever. Sailing...great restaurants...and there is a swim-up bar!

Outermost Inn on Martha's Vineyard. It was off season so the island was empty. We really enjoyed it.

Monastir, Tunisia.
Although there is a lot of history there, I think we could have done better for the money spent.

Pros: Picked up a sweet Rolox and some stylish Ray-Bon shades.
Cons: Was questioned by every merchant, street vendor, and waiter about Bush.


Not my pic, but it IS a pic of the hotel we stayed in.

Lake Tahoe, stayed in a condo on the North Shore, it was great
