...where would you go?


My g.f. and I were talking about this earlier, and we were discussing where we would go after we get married (which is still quite a ways from now), and I was hoping the good folks at NSG had some ideas. :)

Well, I don't know where you are, but me and my wife spent a week in a cabin on Lake Baptiste, in Canada.

Aix-en-Provence.

Down the pub.

Personally, I'd love to go to Europe: France, U.K. or Italy. Maybe go to a third world country and volunteer, if I still was into that kind of thing.... or just swing over to Québec.

Provence, Florence, Rome, Paris, Prague... For a week or two.

Those are not at all the vacation spots I would chose if the question was "If you could go anywhere", period. But I've never been much of a fan of the 4-weeks-across-Australia honeymoon trip. I'm all for the trip, but not as a honeymoon. [/romantic]

Down the pub.Such the romantic. :fluffle:


Edit: Normandy would also be great. Or the Bretagne. Or the Irish west coast. Or Amsterdam. Or Stockholm maybe? Siena definitely.

Somewhere with high mountains and nobody else around. Alps, high Sierras, Patagonia maybe.

4 weeks what the hell

4 weeks what the hell
That was only an example (a former co-worker did that), it's not like that's the typical German honeymoon. :p I was just trying to say that I have a billion far away dream destinations where I'd want to go for several weeks - but for a honeymoon I'd go with the cozy and classic.

I see that no one has mentioned the all-time classic Island of no Return.

how dare you :p

If I could go anywhere I think I would just go on a journey around the world. Or if that were to costly to the classical locations (venice, paris, ...), or something a little bit more adventurous, I guess it would also depend on my wife and the money we had.

Honeymoons... weddings... marriage....

:eek:

Amsterdam, I think the girl that I would marry would be down for going to the Dam' for a while.

Somewhere mountainous and remote...where we could be alone in a log cabin high atop a mountain overlooking forests and lakes and rivers with the stars twinkling in the night, casting their light down upon our love...

Greece.

4 years of living in Europe and that is the country I never got to visit.

I know someone who took to Australia and spent some time in a cousy, romantic place and then spent 3-4 days in the rainforest together.

Personally I would rather go to Italy, so I could see some football matches and check out the Italian night life.

aruba

beach honeymoons are the best.

Maui, Hawaii

That what me and my girlfriend want to do if we get married. We just want to spend the Honeymoon by ourselves. I may talk her into touring the Appalachian mountains, from Georgia all the way up to Canada.

:eek:
Yeah... There's always a catch. :(

Hmm. A cottage up in Norway or something would be nice, I suppose.

My wifes vagina.

save the money for a down payment on a house, spend $300 go to a bed and breakfast have really loud sex and annoy the old people who own it. *nod* that's really the adult thing to do.

My cabin would be perfect for you.

Think I can convince MJ to go to the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast? (http://www.lizzie-borden.com/)

lol

excellentadvice.

but he really should save the money on the weddng too.

ELOPE

My wifes vagina.

Haha.


Assuming I'm married, I'm going to guess it would be her decision.

*whip cracks*

My cabin would be perfect for you.

I said mountains, not hills.

I don't know. Somewhere in Europe, maybe Scotland, or the Scandinavian countries.

Or, on the other hand, one could take the train up to Vancouver and then across Canada and back, which would be cool.

Lmao, so true.

Those would be hills. I was talking about real mountains, like the Rockies, the Sierra Nevadans, or maybe the Himalayas.

:rolleyes:

Wife and I honeymooned in Vegas, not exactly sure why since she doesn't drink, smoke, or gamble.

I think for our 10 year, I'm going to try to take her to Venice.

We lived in Colorado for a few years, but never really took advantage of the mountains.

:rolleyes:

What? It's true, to someone living around the Rockies or the Sierra Nevada, the Appalachians just seem more like hills than mountains.

Is the fact that they were the size of the Himalayas in the Triassic period any consolation?

But we're better.

Yes. Better at having puny hills masquerading as "mountains."

ya but you dont have to worry about altitude sickness climbing an eastern mountain.

Bah, only weaklings have to worry about altitude sickness ;)

Indeed.

Ooh. That ice-hotel in Sweden. Bonus.:p

Argh. Practical me has trouble answering this question. I'm halfway planning my wedding right now, knowing that no one in my family can help me pay for it so it will be a very small affair.
But if money were no object, I would go to do the Greece and Italy tour. No one would want to travel with me because they would feel the need to kill me after reading the inscriptions on the twenty-fifth tomb of the day.

Thanks for the suggestions.

if cost were no object, probably japan or switzerland. then migrate to new zealand or some such place to settle down perminently.

in niether case would i head for the more toursity places either. in japan i would head for the north island, or else somewhere near the central mountainous area of the main island, possibly arround the national park in nikko, though at any rate, wherever we went, preferably it would be in the off season. off seasons are the best time to go anywhere of course. in switzerland of course i would head for zermat, which is, as i understand it touristy, but local touristy. where local people of mostly normal income go, as opposed to san moritz or grendelvald, which are internationaly over rated jetset watering holes.

in any case, i would much prefer the final hundred or more miles to arrive at the designated destination, to be by train.

of course simply riding one or more nights in a railway sleeping car might be a fine honnymoon in and of itself. depending i suppose on the train, and the part of the world.

The Mariana Trench. High pressure sex ftw.

She is going to have to get used to it anyways...

+1 to Appalachians aren't mountains.

My ex and I went to San Francisco. It really is a very good honemoon destination. It's a beautiful, cosmipolitan city with lot's of great restaurants, theaters, parks, museums and a lot of history. And, since most honeymoons are not spent experiencing all these things and the participants seldom leave the hotel except to eat, who cares?

Detroit.

Just kidding, maybe the scenic parts of Croatia, right on the Adriatic. I hear its absolutely beautiful around there. Might make for a good mood setter :P

Detroit. Just kidding

Thank god. You had me worried for a moment.

...where would you go?


My g.f. and I were talking about this earlier, and we were discussing where we would go after we get married (which is still quite a ways from now), and I was hoping the good folks at NSG had some ideas. :)
I'd want to party in the center of the Earth with all the lavamen.

:confused:

Ah, lol. :p

Go to Hong Kong. Spend time sightseeing and shopping on the streets. Awsome place.

Cardiff, Wales. The bay area is fantastic.

For our honeymoon, my husband and I went to Amsterdam. And we want to go back. Man, I wish I spoke Dutch, I'd move there in the blink of an eye!

Already did.
The Caribbean.
Although it's feasible that we'll use the excuse of "honeymoon" WHEREVER/WHENEVER *thinks Shakira* we go.

Split.

Just don't go partying with a young dutch boy and his two friends.

Very nice area I must say. Was better then Kosovo. ;)

Who cares where you go? It's not like you're going to be leaving your room all that often.

Don't know what it is about honeymoons, but they make you horny - even if you have been together for a while first.

Don't ask why... The Yukon.

Bryce Canyon! And take a look at Zion and Cedar Breaks too.

Some ideas:
Brazil
Hawaii
Europe
Caribbean/Mediterrean

This assumes you have the money for it. When I get married, I almost certainly won't. Our honeymoon will be going to the local liquor store;)

I heard Brazil is dangerous.

The Playboy Mansion.

Failing that the Caribbean, I've always wanted to go there.

Two weeks in a little village in the Loire.

Call me nuts, but I want to stay home.

When I get married, I don't want to start it off with some big vacation which puts you into an artificial situation instead of actually getting used to living together. Not to mention adding to the big expense that a wedding is to begin with.

Save the romantic getaway for an anniversary.

Inside of my hypothetical wife. Over and over and over again. :rolleyes:

Too bad that will never happen. :(
