Greek Isles Cruise, Part III
Our last port in Greece was the island of Corfu, which was completely unlike anything I expected from Greece. It was lush and green and very tropical.

Greek Isles Cruise, Part I
Hi everyone! This weekend I’m going to regale you with tales of my Greek Isle cruise! We sailed on the Royal Caribbean Splendour of the Seas and departed from Venice, Italy on June 14th. Two of our best friends, Feisty Tourist and her husband, accompanied us.
Venice was lovely. It was not my first time to the city so there was not pressure to see everything and do everything.

Honeymoon in London
Loyal reader Emily mentioned (correctly, I might add) that I have been incredibly lax about posting in our honeymoon series! Could it have really been four months since we’ve traveled together, readers? To make up for my complete lack of conscientiousness, this post is just for Emily, who is honeymooning in Paris and London (my two favorite cities in the world)!

There are so many places in London you MUST see that I absolutely recommend at least a week of solid touring - more if you don’t like to pack it in while you’re on vacation. Because London is a whale of a city, this is going to be a whale of a post, so you’d better grab something to drink before diving in!

August Honeymoon Spots
When my fiance and I decided to get married, after choosing the venue and engagement ring, we couldn’t wait to start thinking about possible honeymoon locales. As a law student I have neither the time (nor the cash) to do much traveling, and as the honeymoon would also double as a post-bar trip for me, I wanted to find a great, laid-back place to while away a week or so in August. However, Europe pretty much shuts down for the month of August, and that’s the beginning of hurricane season in the Caribbean and Mexico (not to mention Florida). So, what’s an August bride to do?
Below, the top 10 August non-hurricane, non-Europe honeymoons for August brides.
1. Bora Bora: If you can afford it, which we can’t, it could be the closest you ever get to heaven on Earth.

Honeymoon in Rome
Next in our honeymoon series, we take you to the magical city of Rome, where gladiators reigned and gelato is king.
Rome is an amazing place to spend a honeymoon - grooms love the culture and history of the ruins and brides adore the shopping, food, museums, and cultural opportunities found nowhere else in the world.

Honeymoon on Oahu
In the second installment of our honeymoon series, we’re switching gears. If our romantic, art- and food- filled Paris honeymoon isn’t your style, perhaps you’re a beach couple.
Today, we take you on adventure in the most populated Hawaiian isle, Oahu.
Oahu is home to world-famous Waikiki beach, the city of Honolulu, a fantastic north shore full of extreme sports opportunities, Pearl Harbor, and Diamond Head, where you can find one of the most gorgeous views anywhere.

Honeymoon in Paris
We talk a lot about weddings here at EAD, and not very much about honeymoons. You, the bride or groom, put approximately 1,000 collective hours of planning into the six-nine hours of your wedding day, but are you devoting enough time to the honeymoon? Travel agents can make this easy but you are often paying much more than you could by doing the legwork yourself. If you have the money and want to leave it in someone else’s hands, go for it! But if planning is the fun part for you, read on.
We’ll be posting regularly in this new honeymoon series, and will focus on various honeymoon spots that we know well. We’ve traveled, planned, and done the research for you - so you can take our tips and run with them! Today I’m featuring Paris, one of my absolute favorite places on earth. And one of the most romantic honeymoon destinations. Grab some coffee (and a pain au chocolate) and settle down… this is a long one!
