Honeymooning


I guess you could say I love travelling.  

The little TVs are the best!
I love the smell of airplanes, the big chairs on buses, and the train stations.  There's nothing I don't like (besides maybe not being able to shower for 25 hours).  I've been travelling since I was baby; my father was determined to show me as much of the world as possible.  I remember the excitement of airplanes when I was little - waking up at 3AM to take a shower and heading straight to the airport.  Since a honeymoon is basically a trip, I guess you could say I'm more excited for it than I am for the wedding.

The honeymoon location list goes on and on.  Disney World Resorts, Tokyo, the coasts of Italy and Greece, Aspen ski lodges, and African safari resorts - you name it, I've thought of it.  But really, go back and check out the first thing on the list.  Disney World. I mean, waking up every morning and exploring the parks without rushing!  It's like a dream come true.  I imagine my fiancee should have an affinity for Mickey Mouse too, or I'll be spending my honeymoon wondering whether this marriage was really a good idea after all.

You know what'd also be great?  Renting a boat and just sailing.  Not like hardcore ocean sailing, but like sailing through the Balkan Islands or somewhere that's nice and peaceful.  Not like the Caribbean - I've lived on a hot island way too long to prefer that.  But somewhere nice and temperate.  Just living in the snug bed below deck, not having a care in the world (besides getting gas and getting lost, of course). Cruising a boat through countless islands just sort of screams adventure, don't you think?

Skiing is also very fantastic!  Also very adventurous, skiing down the slopes and eating lunch at the top of the mountain.  The feeling of skiing cannot just be described - you have to have been skiing at least once in your life to know what I'm talking about.  I just... love skiing.  That's it.  So honeymooning at a ski resort is like a no-brainer, right?  Going to the Swiss Alps to ski would be a big bonus.

Actually, come to think of it, going anywhere in Europe would be fabulous.  But I'm not talking about the super-touristy places like London and Paris.  I'm talking about like taking the trains through cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam, and little villages dotted along Europe's coastline.  Going to Russia would definitely be cool too.  Just me, my important person, our backpacks, and a couple of bicycles.  It's called backpacking (makes sense).  I like having my options open and not being restricted to a schedule or just one city; having a whole continent as a playground would be probably the most fun ever. Actually, not probably.  There's no doubt.

But really, who knows where I'll go.  It all depends on my fiancee too, right?  ....Just kidding.  His opinion will probably be very minor.  I'm already excited!!
