1. Where did you and your DH honeymoon?

Banff, Alberta, Canada

2. What was your favorite part of the HM?

The weather. It felt like early spring - which is the complete opposite of what the weather has been like here in AR - 100+ temps and humidity that makes it feel like a steam room outside...

3. What activities did you do?

Lots of hiking, long trail ride on horse back, and some napping

4. Did you wear your rings?

Yes. On most of the hikes, I only wore my wedding ring.

5. Where do you and your DH want to travel to next??

Our next big trip will be Italy, to visit his brother and family that is moving there early next year.

We went on a 5 day Disney cruise to the Bahamas and then spent 6 days in Disney World at the Grand Floridian resort

On the cruise we were able to feed and snorkle with stringrays, swim with dolphins, jet ski, have a specila dinner, and do a couple's massage. At Disney we made dinner reservations each night (including Cinderella's castle-I've wanted to go there since I was a little kid), and visited each of the parks!

YES! Except we left them in the safe during excursions

1. Where did you and your DH honeymoon?
Mauritius for a week then South Africa for a week.

2. What was your favorite part of the HM?

The private dinner we had on the last day of safari. We returned from our final night drive to champagne, a privately planned menu and special romantic table set up in our safari room, and rose petal bubble bath and chocolates. That was pretty amazing and also a total surprise to both of us!

3. What activities did you do?

Tennis, yoga, golf, relaxing on the beach, glass bottom boat, fishing, eating massive quantities, drinking fruity drinks in Mauritius. Safari was pretty much all safari game drives and eating/drinking excessively.

Yes.

I think we're going back to Europe next.

Rebis58 · August 2012

1. Where did you and your DH honeymoon?

Riviera Maya, Mexico

2. What was your favorite part of the HM?

Downtime with H, for sure. We were doing long distance before the wedding, and he only arrived late Thursday night, when I was on my bachelorette party, so it was our first time after all the madness to be alone and enjoy each other

3. What activities did you do?

We went on an excursion to Coba to walk up the Mayan ruins, which was amazing. We also zip lined through the jungle, and repelled 30 feet down into an underground cave/pool. Another day we went to Xel-Ha which is a national park where we got to float down a river in tubes and snorkle, cliff-jump, and zip-line into the water. Besides that we went to the market, relaxed at the beach and pool, ate way too much food, drank way too many fruity drinks, and slept in way too late. It was wonderful

4. Did you wear your rings?

I wore mine almost always, except for the excursions. FI wore his mostly just in the evenings. His is a little too big (he lost weight in the month before the wedding and apparantly some of it was in his fingers!

5. Where do you and your DH want to travel to next??

I was born in South Africa and have gone back many times to visit family, but FI has never been and never met the majority of my family there. We want to go see all my family and I want to take him on safari!
