A two year engagement has given us oodles of time to think about our honeymoon. (Yes, I said oodles.) We are mostly set on Europe. Mr. G has never been to Europe and is dying to go. I have been to a few European countries, but have never been to Italy and want to partake in a romantic Italian escape. However, I will return to thoughts on a Roman Holiday in a future post.
Right now I’m interested in honeymoon dreams. I like dreaming. It doesn’t necessarily have to happen any time soon. Think about places you have always wanted to go, but for whatever reason, you have never been. For me, one of those places is Japan…specifically Tokyo and Okinawa. Mr. G has traveled extensively throughout South Korea and China, but he’s never been to Japan. And, although it’s where my ancestors hail from…I’ve never been!
Tokyo: Who goes to Japan and doesn’t visit Tokyo?! Mr. G and I are slightly obsessed with every image we glimpse of this amazing city…
Okinawa: My Mom’s side of the family is from Okinawa. It would be a great excuse to visit long lost relatives and have the proper tropical honeymoon experience complete with clear blue water and white sand.
What are your dream spots? Have fun with it and don’t think about budgets or responsibility or weather or whatever. Where would you go?

Oh, I’d loooove to go to Tahiti (for the beaches) or Thailand (beaches AND temples).
We’re thinking of France for our honeymoon, though. But I do dream of Tahiti and Thailand … And we also dream of going back to a couple spots we’ve already been (namely New Zealand and London, England).

I’ve always wanted to go to Japan. I have Bora Bora in mind for my honeymoon though.

@Krista: I love London! Gotta go back there with the FI at some point. Thailand would be amazing to visit…
@Lisa: My FI’s cousin went to Bora Bora for her honeymoon. They were lucky enough to go to New Zealand, too. They loved both.
