Just Booked Our Honeymoon!

paperpusher · February 2015

Yep! Just booked our honeymoon for the last week in July! It will be a honeymoon/first anniversary celebration!
I'm so fricken excited I want to use all the exclamation points!

We are staying at Palm Beach Shores Resort and Vacation Villas in Palm Beach Florida.
It's right on the ocean. I can literally get out of the pool, walk a dock and be on the beach.

MIL has a timeshare there that she's letting us use this year. We've been there once before and OMG it's relaxing.
We knew that we wanted to relax and not have to feel guilty about not exploring if we were to go to a new place.

I can't wait to eat at Johnny Longboats again. Such amazing chicken wings.

This is the view from our balcony when we were there last!

What exciting vacations do you have?

We are going to Philly and NYC around Easter. Might even try and hit up opening day at Yankee Stadium.

In November we were invited back to Anguilla (DH is doing a cooking event). Although this time members are coming. It might be more work-like if I have to do some entertaining.

My mom's 70th is this year. I think another trip to DE will be in order.

That looks awesome!

I'll be finding out this week if I can plan a Florida and Boston trip.

amelisha · February 2015

That looks beautiful.

We are trying to book Peru in September for a belated honeymoon but we can't make up our minds what we want to do besides the Inca Trail, so I haven't pulled the trigger yet even though I should have last month.

That place looks beautiful! I hope you have a hreat time!

teddygirl9 · February 2015

Wow that looks amazing! That will be such a nice break.

We are going to cabo in april. I'd like to do a driving vacation in the fall, maybe Kelowna, BC or down to montana/Spokane. One of my friends was planning on getting married in Jamaica for Jan 1, however they are now TTC, and may be pushing back the wedding.

jenna8984 · February 2015

Wooohooo!! Looks amazing!

In 11 days we'll be on our way to London & Iceland for my 30th

climbingsingle · February 2015

Nice!!

We're going to DR next month.

madamerwin · February 2015

That looks gorgeous! We're going to Cancun for 11 nights in the end of June... Vacations are the best.

hellosweetie1015 · February 2015

Sounds like fun!

I'm doing Memorial Day weekend in Panama City Beach. And then again for a couple days the week after the Fourth of July. I'm hoping FI will get to come too but I'm a beach bum and need my beach time so if he doesn't I'll still go for a couple of days.

I'm hoping we can work out a road trip honeymoon for the last week in October too. Thinking Colorado Springs, if I can work it out.

manateehugger · February 2015

Sounds great!

H and I are trying to get to the British Virgin Islands this year, but the Army makes life hard.

@hellosweetie1015H and I live (well, me sort of - we're long distance right now) in CO Springs, and I lived in Denver for 2 years as well. Let me know if you want tips/recs. We did our honeymoon in CO.

amelisha · February 2015

I guess I forgot to mention we're going to Vegas for our wedding in May, too, haha.

JoanE2012 · February 2015

Looks amazing! After much hemming and hawing over different spots, we ultimately decided on Punta Cana for our vacay in a few months. We still have a fall vacation spot to decide on and are hoping to get away for a long weekend in the summer to a yet to be determined US location.

pinkcow13 · February 2015

That looks AMAZING. And it really makes me want to be there right NOW. I think it was 4 degrees outside today.

We booked our honeymoon too, we are going to Australia for 2 weeks

wrigleyville · February 2015

I'm going to stare at those pictures until spring. It's windy and -5 here.

We have a vacation coming up in a couple of weeks. We're taking a train to Seattle, spending a couple nights there, taking a train to San Francisco, spending a night there, and then taking a train back to Chicago via Nevada, Utah, etc. It's going to be a fun circle trip.

It's going to be about eight days altogether, and I'll be happy if it's over 40 degrees. If it's 50, I'll be ecstatic. If it's 60, I may kiss the ground and refuse to move until the Midwest is green and warm.

WinstonsGirl · February 2015

That looks beautiful!! We're off to Florida in a month. Hello Harry Potter World!!!! Oh, and other cool stuff I'm sure

dcbride86 · February 2015

Congrats!! That looks amazing!!

I'm SO excited for our honeymoon! I started my job in August, and have barely been able to take any days off because I've had to save it for the wedding/honeymoon, so I'm MORE than ready for a weeklong Jamaican vacation!

mikenberger · February 2015

That looks awesome

We're going to Mexico for our Honeymoon then some random concerts around the midwest. Nothing too crazy. Hoping to get to Portland here soon.

jenna8984 · February 2015

@joane2012 We're doing an undetermined fall vacation too....shall we meet up in the Azores? haha

larrygaga · February 2015

That view makes me want to drink a margarita naked.

Our honeymoon will be in aruba! We aren't 100% when yet though. Hopefully right after the wedding!

Have fun in fl!

Portland, OR? That's where I am, and I must say, it's a wonderful city... If you've never been, let me know if you want any recommendations! (Also, we are missing winter here... It's been the warmest February on record. Which is a little disconcerting considering how bad the weather is elsewhere.)

hahaha! The Azores were in our top picks, but DH decided he really wanted to go somewhere beachy and dive. Can't complain with that. The Azores is definitely still on our list of "must see" places though thanks to you!

wrigleyville · February 2015

I'm so excited for your trip, @paperpusher. That beach looks divine, and I love the pink building. Everything about that area just screams "tropical".

The last time I was in Florida, I was 13 years old. I've never been to Miami or the Keys, so I might try to talk H into going there next winter.

paperpusher · February 2015

@wrigleyville it is divine! It was the first time I can remember ever waking up early and being ok with it. I woke up before everyone else and went down to the beach and collected seashells and swam. I even made a sandcastle and decorated it with seaweed!

H and I had a piña colada the other night and all I could think about was our time in Florida and how I can't wait to go back.

mrscomposer · February 2015

How gorgeous! We're planning for Orlando (HP World and DW) and Miami (hello beach!) in May, so your pictures got me really excited

Yay for honeymoons!

Bubblegum5586 · February 2015

We just got back from San Francisco/Napa/Santa Cruz on Wednesday! That was an adventure trip as we had never been to Cali and only had 3 full days to explore. Walked 10 miles the first day, 8 the second and 6 the third!

We have a week in Maine this summer. Rented a house on Frye Island/Sebago Lake for the week. Its waterfront so we have our own beach on a crystal clear lake. It also faces west so we'll get beautiful sunsets:

flyingfoxes · February 2015

That resort looks amazing!

We're heading to Hawaii in 52 days for the honeymoon.

@pinkcow13, I'm so, so envious of you going to Australia! We would have maybe been able to go there in July, but with FI's new orders and job, he won't be going.

Jells2dot0 · February 2015

OMG I need a vacation NOW!!!!

I'm finally getting back on my feet, so this year we're going to Cancun, Punta Mita, and England (so far). My dad is also trying to get me to go to Disney World at some point and I have to take a few trips home to visit family now that I'm well enough to travel. I have so much to catch up on.

I am so excited!!! And after the brutal winter we've had, and not to mention the craziness going on at my job, I am so ready to go NOW!

hellosweetie1015 · February 2015

I just gotta say how jealous I am of all y'all going to HP World. I tried to convince FI that we needed to go back for the honeymoon but he wants it to be "special" and "new" and "romantic" and all that crap. I said, "Diagon Alley is new! Universal is special! And how more romantic can it get than going back to the place you "for-real proposed"?!"

He didn't see the logic hahaha.

slothiegal · February 2015

BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait for your update when you get back

This fall, H and I are going to travel to Hungary with his grandparents to see where they grew up/their family that still lives there. We haven't really ironed out too many details yet.

BUT more imminently, slothieguy told me that my birthday present is trip, but I don't get to find out where until my birthday (Tuesday!). For the past month, he's been like a little boy waiting for Christmas, about to pee his pants because he's so excited to tell me. .....I'm a little nervous, not going to lie.
