FI and I have been talking about going to New Zealand for our HM for the longest time, but I recently realised that it might not be feasible. We were thinking of doing a short weekend getaway right after the wedding and then doing our HM in June, after school gets out, so that we don't have to have someone come up here to stay with my daughter for a week or two. Instead she could go visit Gramma & Grandaddy for a while. The problem is, June is winter for New Zealand. While I think that would be lovely and all, we wouldn't really get to maximise the trip because we wouldn't be able to go to the beaches (I'm a chicken about cold water).
FI wants to go someplace we wouldn't be able to easily visit some other time in our lives. So my suggestion of Costa Rica was given a "meh." So was my suggestion of whale-watching up in Alaska or Canada. Soo.... I need some help!
Here's what we have to work with:
-No cruises
-Someplace with a mix of adventure/outdoorsy stuff and romance/relaxation
-Someplace where the weather won't prevent us from making the most of the trip (someplace that's not bloody hot would be great, too)
-Someplace not too cliche (ie, not Paris or Rome)
We're not too picky, are we? LOL
I was also thinking about Thailand... any thoughts? Or just sucking it up and having someone stay with DD and do the NZ trip in April. Thanks for your help!
