Brian and I have started gathering our thoughts on potential spots, and let me tell you people something - the world is a very big place. I guess this is traditionally a little too early to be planning that part of Marriage Extravaganza 2K10, but we're really hoping to use some "credit" through a timeshare program that B's parents are a part of, and those places book up ridiculously early, sooooooooo here we are. July and planning 11 months out.

Really all we have to do now is settle on a spot so we can reserve our lodging, and then we'll work on the rest of it at a more appropriate time, say next spring. But trying to pick a spot is way more overwhelming than I thought it would be! I've found myself spending a lot of time judging pools, when really I want to find a part of the world that's crazycool outside the resort walls. We've really only been able to weed out one place, which is New Zealand, because we want to go in our winter when it's their summer. Otherwise, the rest of our choices are all over the globe right now. Which makes for a menacing Excel sheet.

So, five readers, do any of you have any comments on places you've been and loved? I really want to know where and why! Recommendations are so crucial, and I'm hoping maybe I could narrow my focus a little bit with some feedback. I think our trip will span a couple of weeks and hopefully will include lots of disparity - adventure, relaxation, hostels, resorts, whatever. So really the metric is just caliber of amazement and enjoyment. Ok, now go post something helpful :)

As I can imagine this will be my favorite part of wedding planning someday, I have a million ideas in my head.
1) Cinque Terra - coast of Italy. Maybe too small for a multiple week trip but incredibly beautiful and it is five small cities on the West coast of Italy and you can hike the side of the mountain to get to each town. When I was here I thought to myself, man, this would be a great place for a honeymoon. Plus other towns in Italy are easy to get to.
2) Greece. I have not been but I have done TONS of research and hope to go for mine possibly.
3) Costa Rica. My cousin lived there for 2 years and I can send you lots of recommendations. Includes relaxing, adventure, surfing!!, and other fun stuff.
Lets be honest, I want to go EVERYWHERE and I can't imagine this was very helpful but I enjoyed writing it. :) ha.
