Bliss Weddings Market has donated a Me & My Honey Scrapbook Kit to give to one of our readers!
Miss Butterfly blogged about how much she loved the Let Me Tell You Bride-to-Be Scrapbook (they’re both made by the same company), and the Me & My Honey scrapbook (which won “best new product” at the National Stationery Show this year) is just as cute. I love both these products because they make it easy for anyone to record their wedding and honeymoon memories.
For this contest, we want you tell us about your favorite vacation that you’ve taken with your significant other. Where did you go and what made it so memorable?
Please comment below to enter. You have until Wednesday 11:59 pm to enter, and the winner will be determined by a random number selector. Good luck!

The best trip that my honey and I took together was to Mexico early this year. We have gone on many smaller trips together, but Mexico was our first major trip together.
It was great to relax on the beach and sip margaritas together while we hung in the hammocks.
Pure bliss. 
The best trip we have taken (and the only one we’ve taken without additional friends or family with us) was to Estes Park, Colorado this summer for my best friend’s wedding this past July. We got to spend plenty of quality time together in the car (driving from eastern KS) and had a lot of fun. But the best part of the weekend was when my FI had a little too much to drink and let it slip that he was planning on proposing to me by my birthday, which was less than 2 months away at the time. I’m not one for really big surprises, so I loved knowing that it was going to happen sometime soon. I was still a little surprised when he finally did pop the question just over a month later!
Our best trip was our first (this time) valentine’s day. He surprised me by telling me what to pack, and what the weather would be. It ended up a San Diego trip, where I could pick the place- sea world or the zoo. I chose sea world. THEN, the day we showed up at the hotel- they had given us twin beds, they were out of the kings! So I laughed and laughed, but he looked so hurt, I stopped. I got my karma, though. While he was spiffing up for our romantic movie/dinner date, I was jumping on the beds. Yes, I’m seven. Well, I fell and broke my wrist. Whatever, it was still a great planned weekend!!
We went to Eureka Springs, Arkansas on our first spring break together. It was our first real vacation together and the first vacation for either of us without our parents. We did all the usual tourist-y stuff and had an absolutely amazing time! I’ll probably make a post about it pretty soon 
our best vacation was this past april when we went to playa del carmen in mexico. it was our first romantic vacation together since we’ve dated….. it was our best vacation because that’s when my honey proposed to me!!!!!

we got it on video too!!! it was during our snorkeling trip. and i had no idea what was going on!
i live in nj and my home home is in california. so in august, my then bf and i took a trip together to california. we then crammed my parents, my younger sis, and the 2 of us into a car and drove for 4 hrs to vegas. we saw celine dion in concert that night and filled our bellies with hot steamed king crab legs. it’s kind of weird that my now FI went on vaykay with my entire family to vegas, but it warmed my heart SO much just be together. what made it even better, was that that trip was when my FI asked my parents for my hand. (he asked my parents while i was in the shower.) it’ll forever be a memorable trip.
i’m not eligible to enter hehe… but our best trip was our honeymoon. we stayed in barcelona for 3 nights and marbella (southern spain) for 4 nights where we drove to nearby cities like granada and sevilla.
i’d love to go back to barcelona one day - i wasn’t crazy about the food, but i loved the city.
The best trip my honey and I have taken was our trip to Yosemite 2 months ago. Our families both visited Yosemite every year while we were growing up but neither of us had been for about 10 years so we decided to plan a trip. While camping in Yosemite with my sister and brother-in-law we decided to go up to Glacier Point to see the view and take some pictures. We had taken about a million pictures and I was ready to leave, but Mark wanted a few more with half Dome between us. We faced Half Dome and then each other and before I knew it he was down on one knee. I heard him say something like “Brookie wookie, I have enjoyed the past 10 months getting to know you and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?” It took a minute to realize what he was doing. He caught me completely by surprise! I started crying and he had to ask me for my answer. And the answer was- YES! Mark’s proposal far exceeded anything I had hoped or dreamed for. I told him early on in our relationship that I wanted pictures of my proposal (not a re-enactment) and we have not only that but video. I am so excited to spend the rest of my life married to my best friend!
This is an easy answer for me. It’s the trip that we became engaged on. Last march, in Jamaica, while snorkeling in the Caribbean Sea, he flashed a ring in front of my mask. When I came up, he popped the question, and of course, I said yes. We spent the rest of the trip laying on the beach and sipping Dirty Bananas by day and swaying in our favorite hammock by night. We loved it so much that we really wanted to bring our love for each other Jamaica full circle–we will be returning for our honeymoon.
We are planning our very first trip. He is taking me to meet his family for Thanksgiving. I am so excited and also very nervous. I have been against overnight trips since we aren’t married, but this is the exception…of course.
what hasn’t been the best trip? at first i thought, oh, vegas. cause that was fabulous and i came back engaged but then i thought no, our second new year’s trip together- when we went to sandestin to stay at a wonderful resort with some friends. then i thought further. i think it has to be our first trip together. he was living in another state and came in a few days after christmas. we had planned to drive to austin to hangout with his brother and my friend for new years. we had lots of driving time to talk about everything under the sun. it was awesome. even though it may have been early, we so knew we were each other’s “the one.” it was such a great experience. we went out and watched the star drop. with the excitement of finding each other and energy of the night, it was just magical.
Our best trip was to Zihuatanejo Mexico for a friend’s wedding. We flew there with 2 other couples. He proposed the day after their wedding. Doesn’t get better than that.
Our first big trip together was to Maui and after a blissful week of fun and sun, FI proposed on top of Mt. Haleakala on our last day!
For my birthday, only a few months after we met, he took me to Charleston, SC for a short Vacation during Spring Break. Both of us were students and poor, but we still stayed in a great boutique hotel on King St. After sight-seeing all day we went to a little neighborhood restaurant for a celebration dinner. We ate outside under magnolia trees (I think) that were covered in lights, outdoor heaters, and the greatest food I’ve ever had. This was the first time when I knew for sure it was the right thing not to move back to the west coast, but to stay in the south. I was falling in love…!
This is going to sound so wrong… but it’s the truth. Here goes it:
A couple years ago, my fiance and I took our first vacation together to Las Vegas. We both love some friendly table games and I was looking forward to being pampered at the Mandalay Bay resort. What was supposed to be a quiet relaxing trip, turned into a whirlwind of events… and I guess it’s true when they say, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” — -but this is just too good to share (i’ll leave out the TMI details)
He had taken his ex to vegas many years before and he had a horrible time. I promised that I would make sure he had a great enough time to make up for his last visit.
A few days into our first vacation, we learned that there was an “internet convention” going on in the hotel. Later that night in the lounge, we made friends with some strangers, who later we learned were in the porn industry. There was in fact a “porn” convention going on! Everyone was really friendly and nice, and the director invited my fiance and I to a taping. We had dinner reservations to an Emeril’s restaurant, but we cancelled that to see the taping! We’re so scandalous.
It was actually a lot of fun, and it made for some great stories, and all his friends were envious. It was then when I acquired the “coolest girlfriend ever” status from him and all his friends.
Our best vacation was a camping trip! It was a total surprise which he planned entirely. We went hiking and he cooked me dinner over the campfire. I love a man who cooks.
Our best trip together was to Aruba this past spring… it was amazing! His parents gave us their timeshare and we paid for our flights… it really made this paradise a reality for us!
So far, there hasn’t been a trip that really stands out as the best. They all had their good and bad moments. here are the top 3:
PARIS, FRANCE: + SO much fun, tons to do, very romantic, great subway system, - food was hit or miss, dollar doesn’t go far
BEIJING & SHANGHAI, CHINA: + Food is totally amazing, great shopping, everything is uber cheap, lots to do, - public toilets are gross, people are rude and brusque, not romantic
NEGRIL, JAMAICA: + it’s paradise!, yummy food, reasonably priced, so laid back and relaxing, seriously the most beautiful place we’ve ever seen, - excursions like horseback riding and waterfalls are 2 hrs away
Hopefully, our Honeymoon will soon become our favorite trip ever.
So far my favorite trip was our tour of Italy this year. It was like I was on the Amazing Race! My fiance was actually over there for the Cannes Film Festival and we met up later in Nice. Went off to Monaco, Florence and finished in Venice. Venice is absolutely beautiful and so romantic. It was perfect for us to stroll through the city, laughing, eating, getting lost… It so happened that it was also my birthday. We went to dinner near the canal where he surprised me with this amazing white halter dress that I had spotted earlier in the day.
My favorite vacation would have to be our 2-week Australia/New Zealand adventure this past June. We took this vacation right after he graduated from his 2-year graduate program, which was in North Carolina while I stayed in New York. This trip was signficant because it was like saying goodbye to an era of seeing each other only every 3 or 4 weeks and the start of us living together and seeing each other everyday.
It was a great combo of sightseeing (Sydney Opera House, going to the zoo to see koala bears and kangaroos) and adventure (snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, zorbing, go-carting down the side of a mountain) and just wandering around the streets with each other. Though it rained for a number of days during our trip, we made the best out of it and had so much fun together. Plus, it was so nice not to have to say goodbye after just 2 or 3 days together.
But before we would actually move-in together, we had one more ‘test.’ After our trip, I had to fly back home to NY from Australia by myself (I’m not a good flyer to begin with) while he continued to his travels around Asia for 5 weeks by himself. Saying goodbye as I left for my flight was so hard because I was so worried about him traveling in foreign countries by himself and not being able to contact him whenever I wanted to. In the end, he made it so much better by making every effort to call and email whenever possible.
He made it back in one piece and to make a happy ending even sweeter, within 2 weeks of returning to NY, he purchased my engagement ring and proposed a couple weeks later.
