We’re going to the Maldives (Komandoo to be exact). Its a big splurge for us but we’ll be bunking in an overwater bungalow for 10 days! We figured that our honeymoon was the one time where we should really splurge.

we’re going to masai mara in kenya for a safari and then to cape town, south africa for our honeymoon. guess it’s not a “common” honeymoon, but we’re very very excited!

That sounds great, Emma! We’re flying into Cape Town (in just over a month!) and out of Harare, Zimbabwe four weeks later. We’re in the midst of figuring out if, in between, we’re going to Namibia and/or Botswana, or just seeing more of South Africa.

My fiance taught in Zimbabwe for 8 months in the late 90s (with a Peace Corps-like organization) and he wants to see old friends and show me where he lived, and I’m looking forward to it despite the travel warnings.

We went to the Seychelles for our honeymoon in September 2008 and stayed at Mahe and Praslin island. From there we made trips to La Digue, Curieuse and Cousin island. The Seychelles really are amazing. Unspoiled islands with green hills, tropical forrests, and fantastic beaches. Yes, it’s expensive, but your honeymoon is supposed to be a one time experience, right? Although, I’m now thinking about going again for our next summer holiday… This is going to be a costly hobby.
