Hey Hey Hey! I felt like saying that like Fat Albert. I know. It’s random.

Originally, we were talking about Costa Rica & Belize. I love the beach. I mean LOVE it. I can’t swim for shit but I could live on a beach forever. So once I really started getting into it I’m thinking more like we can do Costa Rica anytime! Why don’t we do something more exotic? I recently saw some honeymoon photos from Maldives and just fell in love. It’s beautiful. I’ve never seen waters like that. I became obsessed. The hubs and I went out to eat dinner 2 weeks ago at a new Greek joint in Jersey City and while waiting for our food I would say things like:

Me: Man, you know what I’m hungry for?
Mr. Ladybug: What? A gyro?
Me: Nope. Maldives. Mmmm mmm.

Mr. Ladybug: Hun do you know what you’re ordering.
Me: Um…I think the shrimp Souvlaki and a side of Maldives *raising my eyebrows up and down*

We would make eye contact and I would smile and just mouth “M A L D I V E S” from across the table.

Later that week he went to the library during work and came home with a bunch of books on different locations. He wanted me to see that there were other options other than Maldives. At first I was hesitant, but the more I started researching other locations I actually got excited about a few of them.

My favorite defense line is “Hun, we only get to do our honeymoon once.” He shoots back “You’re gonna use that excuse for everything. We only get married once. We only have one son so we should do this for him. We only get to buy our first house once.” Ok so I used the “we only get married once” line a few times to get my way but I would never use it on the other occasions!

Ok maybe when it comes to our kids but we’ll cross that path when we get there.

Since he’s been away this weekend I really missed him. I cleaned the apartment and I bought a new coffee table and a new computer chair cushion just to surprise him (all reasonably priced). Then after he got home last night, I don’t know what it was, maybe it was because I missed him but I said “Hun, we don’t have to go to those expensive places. I was being selfish. I’m sorry.” Then he whips out the new Travel Leisure magazine that he bought at the airport and we were laid in bed looking at the different possibilities. I think he’s excited now too about these high budget trips, which makes me excited and giddy and makes me wanna jump his Korean bones! Yeehaw!

My buttocks thank me. You’re quite welcome ass.

I mean, c’mon, we only get to do our honeymoon once.

So here are my requirements:

1) It has to have clear blue waters where you can see your feet even when you’re like 5 feet in.
2) We don’t want to go somewhere that’s very commercial. Example: Last 9 weddings we were invited to, 6 of the couples went to Hawaii. Not that we don’t want to go to Hawaii, I mean c’mon, who doesn’t want to go to Hawaii. Just not for our honeymoon. One thing Mr. Ladybug and I hate about going on vacation is when you tell someone you’re going and they’re all like “Oh! We went there! While you’re there you should check out blah blah blah and go to blah blah blah.” Ya know what I mean? It’s kinda like being the last person to watch a blockbuster. I hate that too. hahaha.
3) Somewhere tropical but there’s things to do besides lying out on the sand and snorkeling. (Whispering: The husbands sucks at snorkeling and ends up swallowing a lot of sea water. I’m embarrassed for me. JUST KIDDING HUN! JUST KIDDING!) It’s not that it’s hard, it’s just the way he turns his head and stuff in the water. I should make him practice in the kitchen sink before we go. I actually wanna buy my own snorkeling gear and bring it with me. It’s kinda gross if you think about them recycling the same equipment out.

I’ll post up my research as soon as I’m done.
