Mrs. Sewing's Picture
Mrs. Sewing, San Mateo, CA/Honolulu, HI Age and Occupation: 24, Electrical Engineer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Electrical Engineer Engagement Date: June 27, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Anela Garden Chapel & Japanese Cultural Center, Honolulu About Me: I'm an easily entertained, compulsive idea-scheming machine who loves good art, good food, and a good engineering challenge. I'm planning a half-destination wedding on the beautiful island of Oahu - imagine a plethora of movies, art and games; savory Hawaiian food; blended Chinese and Japanese cultural details; lush, fragrant tropical flowers and all the air conditioning a NorCal native could want! And once I marry the love of my life, we'll come back to the 'mainland' to party it up all over again in my hometown of Salinas, the salad-bowl capital of the world!

Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2

August 31st, 2010 @ 1:16 pm by Mrs. Sewing

Part 1

We found that if there’s one absolutely-must-have item for any honeymoon, minimoon, or whatevermoon, it would be this:

Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2 :  wedding honeymoon honolulu Tripod  The travel tripod.

If my mother hadn’t bought us this handy little device, all of our pictures would have looked like this:

Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2 :  wedding honeymoon honolulu Gold Sh  If you notice on the left, our big fat heads are covering the big gold shrine we’re supposedly trying to take a picture in front of!

Or they might all look like this:

Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2 :  wedding honeymoon honolulu Sak  Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2 :  wedding honeymoon honolulu Sak2  Yes, Mr. Sew went on vacation by himself. Wifu? What wifu?

Luckily though, with the tripod and the ten-second timer on our camera, we were able to get a little less face, a little more scenery, and a little more coupley-ness.

I know you could always just ask someone else to take your picture for you (”Sumimasennnn, cheeesuuu?”), but there might be places you’ll go where there’s no one around:

Or you might be doing something strange or embarrassing that you don’t want anyone else to see:

Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2 :  wedding honeymoon honolulu Protect

Of course, someone might always ruin your shot since the tripod is so little:

So, make sure you throw up the peace/victory sign to let everyone around you know that you’re taking a picture!Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2 :  wedding honeymoon honolulu Onsen  Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2 :  wedding honeymoon honolulu Ferris  Honeymoon Essentials - Part 2 :  wedding honeymoon honolulu Odawara

Convinced yet? Definitely add a travel tripod to your pack list. It takes up much less room than completely useless jackets!

Yay! We had one of these on our registries when I saw it on top ten essential backpacking items under $50. No one bought it so I literally just bought it this morning from Amazon. Ours is the Gorillapod for $18.99.

Wow! You have convinced me that I need one. I end up with all the pictures of my SO by himself, and then we trade and there’s a bunch of pictures of me by myself. Your pictures are great!

I plan on getting one! I do have one giant worry though…what if someone runs up and snatches the camera while you are waiting! Maybe I am a paranoid mess or have seen too many movies where the local runs off with the tourists camera.

Yay! Mrs. Sew is recapping! As for us, we used our new waterproof camera to video us interviewing each other throughout the honeymoon. It’s so much fun to watch funny videos of ourselves.

Travel tripods are the best invention ever! Ok, maybe not EVER, but…it’s close! Great suggestion!

Great idea! Did one of you really run all the way from the tri-pod to the bridge in 10 seconds? I’m guessing it was Mr. Sew, he looks like he’d be fast.

@sylk: go go go! it’s awesome!
@Miss Locket: True..if it wasn’t Japan (where everyone probably has a better camera than me), I probably would have been a bit more worried about theft..maybe if you anchored/tied it down with a bike lock or something? That could be cumbersome though!
@TheFutureMcBride: that sounds hilarious! what a great idea, you could even make a mockumentary with the footage later if you wanted :)
@JenBabe: like lightning! yes, that one took him like three tries to time correctly. haha!
