Let's talk Honeymoonin' for a second

I always pictured myself an Italian honeymoon type of person. Swept away to the countryside for a bit of new life adventure through the old world. How romantic! Think of all the things you could see just DAYS after tying the knot and planning this huge party.

Then the dude said it..."Doesn't that just require MORE planning and MORE stress?". Well of course, but I'm not a lay on the beach type of person! I want to GO GO GO!

Hmmm, this is turning into being a LITTLE bit more about me, and a LOT less about we. OK...fine. You want to relax on a beach? We will SCUBA dive...and swim with sharks...and zip line...and and and and...EVERYTHING! We will accomplish anything and everything that can be accomplished on a beach...in a week. We'll do it all in a super exclusive spot too...

How about, French Polynesia...


Or Fiji...


Or maybe Bali!

Perhaps my imagination missed the message that my pockets are not multi-millionaires.

To be honest all this adventure dreaming is making me quite exhausted. Where can I go to relax that doesn't require currency conversion, or layovers? Ah yes, Hawaii.

But I've been there before! Isn't marriage supposed to be a whole new adventure?

Maybe that's what the rest of your life is for. I'm beginning to view this whole honeymoon thing as a time to relax...and NOT go overboard with the adventure. Reset your clock after planning a party. Most of all, for me, not go completely broke while planning this party and honeymoon.

So we're settled...Hawaii. Easy, fun, tropical, relaxing....Delicious...

Here's the question, which island? We've already decided, but let me tell you...it was a tough decision. I've been to 3 of the islands, the dude's been to a couple...but we've both only been to Hawaii once, he was in high school...I was in 5th grade. Do we relive what we've already experienced...or do I add just a bit of adventure and mystery and try something completely new?
