I know we've talked about honeymoons a lot, but FI and I are kind of torn on ideas. We know we want to do a cross country road trip. But we're sad that we may not be able to bring the dog, that due to time limits we may not see everything we want for a fair amount of time, and we hate summer traveling. Both our previous road trips were during Decemeber/January and it was amazing. We were almost always the only people where ever we went. We went to DC last April with some friends and it kind of sucked how busy it was. We know that traveling during the summer means the tourist traffic will be horrible.
Here's our new, tentative plan... two honeymoons!
The first would be a week right after the wedding. We'd fly out Seattle, spend a day there, spend a day in Oregon, then spend the rest of the week and weekend driving down the California coast and hitting all the cool National Parks and cities along the way, doing day trips, then fly back home from San Deigo.
The second would be our road trip. We'd drive out to Washington again, then cut down and in to go to Utah and Nevada instead of California. This one would be pushed back until December, which is when we like to travel best. If we time it right, I'll accumulate enough vacation time for this double HM plan. FI work for a college as a ten month employee, so getting the summer week off is no big deal. For the winter trip he can take off a few weeks during the winter break than just make up the time over the summer instead, so it shouldn't matter.
This was our new discussion as of this morning and I'm just really excited and had to share!
