If Spain every crosses your list at all, pleeaaase please let me know!! I know of so many beautiful places to visit and see! And talk about experiencing a different culture and food!

I want to thank you all for your comments and feedback. For the first time ever (and quite possibly the last,) the boy sat with me and read all of the comments from EAD and my personal blog, Pink Argyle. (pinkargyle.blogspot.com) THANK YOU! I'm comforted that some of you mentioned commitments surrounding your wedding and having to wait too. I have a few work commitments I have to attend to in July after the wedding, and it makes me feel better to know that others out there are experiencing the same time constraints. @Meag: Australia was one of our top considerations, and we may just look into a trip in December! @Katy, Rebecca, Elizabeth: I had never thought about Croatia, but I looked up the travel agency Rebecca recommended and all of their tours look amazing. I also searched pictures, and Croatia looks like a beautiful place to visit. It's on the list now. :) @Elizabeth: I might have to ask you for more Prague/Vienna info. They both look like gorgeous places to go. Of course, Hawaii has always been on the list, and your glowing recommendation has definitely swayed me! @Emily: We live 30 minutes away, but we shamefully have never been to Mexico! I have a travel book on my shelf that has yet to be used, so we'll definitely consider it! @Linda and Leni: I would loooove to take a couple days off after the wedding! Maybe we can squeeze that in so that we can rest, because I know it's just going to be chaotic for a few days! .-= Mo's most recent blog post: <a href="http://pinkargyle.blogspot.com/2009/10/honeymooning-where-would-you-go.html" rel="nofollow">Honeymooning: where would you go?</a> =-.

I've been all over Europe and a long list of other places - Fiji, New Zealand, Belize, Hawaii, South Africa, Morrocco and more - Croatia is my favorite yet. The beaches are divine - and much less crowded than Greece. The food and the WINE (OMG - the WINE!) was amazing. I didn't have much time to plan so I found a local travel agency - Secret Dalmatia and they planned our entire personalized itinerary based on what we love - food, wine, history and of course a little bit of spoiling ourselves. We traveled from the Northern castle region down along the coast and out to the islands. We stayed in a 15th century palace apartment, had cooking classes with one of Croatia's most famous chefs and had not one but two private wine tours with winemakers we now consider very dear personal friends. I know I'm gushing but it was the most mind-blowing trip ever. AND - the price was pretty reasonable considering we were there in July. I'd be happy to tell you more if you like, but if you want to see photos, here's a link to my Facebook album: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=281610&id=748105443&l=40a9e7d3ca (ignore the silly couple!).

I know a few people who have skipped the honeymoon right after the wedding, or who have gone on a "mini-moon" (a few nights somewhere local), and honestly most of them have not gotten around to taking a real honeymoon, 2 or 3 years later, unless they already had it planned at the time of the wedding (i.e. buy tix now for a trip in the spring). Regarding where you should go, if I'd been to all the places you have (!) I'd probably do either South America (Chile? Buenos Aires?) or Australia! .-= DCKate's most recent blog post: <a href="http://suburbanity.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/weekend-of-productivity-iii/" rel="nofollow">weekend of productivity, III</a> =-.

I could have used about 3 days worth of sleep! If you can't do a huge getaway I would recommend a relaxing place where you two can be alone for a few days.

We found out that his dad's side of the family is having a family reunion after our wedding close by, and since something like this hasn't happened in like 38 years we thought it might be a good idea to go for a few days. I found an inn in the town that it's going to be at. Then we're going to take a few days and drive up to Atlanta. I would love for us one day to go overseas, but he has no desire to fly, and actually wants to spend some time exploring the US. I've been overseas a few different times and loved it. But, I haven't seen much of the Eastern Seaboard of the US (and I live in the South!) ...so we have decided every year to take a road trip somewhere to see a new part of our own Country!
