Honeymoon Countdown
Posted on January 16th, 2017
One month from today, Ian and I will be leaving on our honeymoon!
We always knew we wanted to defer our honeymoon until after football season when the weather here is particularly dreary. When Ian and I were first thinking about our honeymoon, we were all geared up to check a super remote and exotic place off our dream vacations list. Bora Bora! Thailand! Australia! …but then we did a little research. Did you know it takes more than 24 hours to travel to Thailand from Seattle? Paid time off days do not grow on trees. Someday, we’ll be crazy world travelers, but not today. So we reeled it in a bit and looked closer to home.
On the other side of the spectrum, it is astonishingly easy to get to Hawaii from Seattle, so we decided to take advantage of that to see a gorgeous part of the world. Neither of us have ever been, but I think it will be the perfect balance of active adventures and tropical relaxing in a gorgeous and unique location.
Since I handled most of the wedding planning, Ian is swooping in to manage a lot of the logistics for this escapade. The plan is to break the trip into two chapters– we’ll have our active adventuring in Kauai for half of the week (staying at the St. Regis Princeville), and then island hop to Hawaii for a few days of lounging at Four Seasons Hualalai. SO stoked.
So turning it over to you guys– for those of you have been lucky enough to have a Hawaii getaway (or two!) under your belt, do you have any recommendations I can pass along to my husband travel concierge? Anything we absolutely shouldn’t miss?
