Moon over your Honey

Taking a break from the thoughts of wedding planning and thinking about the exciting adventures to follow. The honeymoon!

We were conflicted at first when it came to deciding where we should vacation. Should we travel to Europe and be taken in with the history and grandeur of it all? Should we go someplace tropical and swim to our hearts content. Both sound lovely.

In the end we went with the latter. Our friends Roni and Rick (have I mentioned them yet?) had visited a tiny island called Petite St. Vincent for their honeymoon and raved about it. I wasn't sure if it would be my style, but a quick look on the website and my mind was changed. Check out the photos:

Lovely white sand beaches.

The more we thought about it, the more we simply wanted to take a honeymoon that would be relaxing, calm and schedule free. We are adventurers and knew if we were in Europe we would want to get up and see things, stand in line for whatever castle happened to be in whatever town we were in. It would be an incredible experience, but we think it will be a wonderful treat to be able to simply "be" for a week. Plus look where we would be staying:
We could be out on a cliff encased in lush green landscapes
Or in a Villa right on the beach. I will take either thank you.

The special thing about PSV is the privacy. The island only houses 22 villas, guaranteeing you will not be caught in any crowds or noisy beaches. It operates on a flagpole system which is super fun. Each villa has it's own pole, if you want room service raise the yellow flag and someone will be right with you. If you want to be left alone, raise the red flag and nary a soul shall disturb you. It sounds just lovely. I want to go now.

Our honeymoon shall not end there, no sir. After seven days is remote bliss we will throw ourselves back into the fray with a three day jaunt to...

Disney World!

I have not been in years, and it has always been a special place for Jürgen. Being actors we never know when we will be able to take long vacations, so we wanted to do this one up right. It will be a nice transition back into the real world and a great way to end the trip. We will be staying at the Port Orleans French Quarter which is right on the park. And seems very quaint.
We plan to ride all the rides, multiple times. Even space mountain, which always makes you
feel as though you will be smacked in the face by a metal pole at any moment. We plan to see a Cirque du Soleil show (I have never been) and of course catch the light show at night.

Now we both just have to get in shape before we don our swimwear apparel!
