Default Help Me Choose . . .

Okay, it's getting down to the wire here. John wants ME to choose where we'll go on our honeymoon, but it can't be somewhere I've already been. I've been to Australia and Africa, so those two are out. I just want to go somewhere where I can relax and don't have to (believe it or not) do a lot of driving around. My brain's a blank. Any help?

Oh, I forgot about that . . . I went to Kauai for my first honeymoon. That probably wouldn't go over too well. Good suggestion, though.

That's beautiful, Mike, but it says on the website that they are closed September and October.

insite . . . yes, that place is really nice, but they sure are proud of it. I'm not sure John would go for those rates, lol. The place in Oregon that Robert pointed out sure was nice, though. It would be a big change from Florida, that's for sure. I've only been to Oregon for racing -- never got to explore any of it. I sent him an email with that URL in it. I like woodland settings like that.

TU TU TUN is very nice. Just be certain that it is the weather that you are looking for...likely cloudy/rain in October.

When does it NOT rain in Oregon? That's okay, though . . . we'll just have to spend more time indoors. I'm sure we can find something to do.

July, August and September. Or, go east of the Cascades for a dry climate.

My wife spent the first half of ours here, www.thephoenician.com then moved up to the Oak Creek Canyon here, www.junipine.com. Mmmm, a private hot tub outside your bedroom on your deck overhanging the Oak Creek! It was a great 3+ weeks.

Adrienne . . . that cruise was exactly the itinerary John had found for October! Woah. Great minds think alike? I'm not sure if he's still going to do it . . . I'll let ya know. But I know we can't do it in November -- we both have plans already. He's going TDY and I've got to fly out to California to put on a track weekend. Then let's not forget Thanksgiving. Ack! Busy month!

That place is spectacular, Mike! We'll have to look into that one. I'm still leaning heavily towards Italy, though. I like the food there.

Everyone is sending you somewhere hot and sunny. Have you been to Alaska? One of the prettiest cruises I have been on left from Vancouver and went up the Alaskan coastline. The glaciers are lovely and who knows how much longer they will be there, it maybe your only chance.
