Honeymoon!

When Eric and I were trying to figure out where we would go for our honeymoon we knew we really wanted to go back to Europe. We didn't know though if we had enough cash to make it happen. So for a while we thought going to a tropical island get away would be more affordable. Eric my travel guru took over all honeymoon plans and when it came down to it. St. Maarten was the same price as going to Spain.  So with out much further ado we were headed to Barcelona.

Let me also say that we knew nothing about Barcelona besides, Tapas and the 92 Olympics. We packed our bags, bought a Rick Steve's guide book and hopped our flight. In one word the city is AMAZING. It was so refreshing to not know anything about your destination, to have the freedom to do what ever we wanted. Between the bar exam and wedding planning we both were very busy this summer. We walked the Mediterranean, it was to cold to swim, relaxed by our hotel's roof top pool, rambled up las Ramblas the Sagrida Famila, and drank a lot of Sangria and the local Estrella Damm beer. Our Honeymoon was the perfect kind of vacation for us. A bit of the beach, cool historic sites and the city. I can't wait to go back.

I am speechless.... We are going to Barcelona, Spain for our honeymoon! I can not wait. It is going to be so amazing. Eric booked it this weekend so it's official that we are going. We leave two days after our wedding and are gone for 9 days! Amazing architecture and the beach here we come! Has anyone been to Barcelona before? Anything that is a must see/do?

Can I have a rum punch please?

Eric and I tabled our honeymoon for a while. We didn't know if we could take one, with time, money and his job being a factor. Though now we've decide we can and are going to go on one. And my wonderful husband-to-be is planning the whole thing. So with some research and desire for a cabana on the beach. He's decided we are going to go to St. Marteen/St. Martin Island. I am so excited.

Somewhere Beautiful

Now who wouldn't want to spend a week in Portofino, Italy. Living it up in a seaside hotel or villa. Swimming in the beautiful blue sea. Sounds heavenly to me or a scene from an old movie. I'm not sure where Eric and I will go for our honeymoon. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered before we can figure that one out. A girl can dream though right.
