Honey, Where Shall We Moon?: Part 2

February 16th, 2011 @ 11:17 am by Mrs. Lox

Right, so last we spoke I had just found a travel agent and added booking our honeymoon to the to-do list. Unfortunately, I added it to Mr. Lox’s to-do list, and he is more of a procrastinator than I am. (Take a moment to appreciate that sentiment. Because I am one ugly procrastinator. Mr. Lox’s procrastination is EPIC.) So it languished until I decided to nag him a bit.

I nagged, he said he’d set an appointment, nothing happened. Sure it’s annoying. But, honestly, there are so many more annoying things he could decide to do. I accept this about him, and we only scrap about it once in a while. So right—no appointment. Then I decided it wasn’t crucial yet, so I gave up for a while. We’ll call it compromise, even though it’s more likely I got distracted and forgot.

Then Miss Brooch posted this. Right away, I knew Mr. Lox would love it. In fact, I was so positive that I didn’t tell him about it for a while. What? Don’t look at me like that. I wanted to decide if I would love it too. I did all the same research Miss Brooch did. After about the 20th glowing review I’d read, I knew this would have enough for both of us. The property is gorgeous, the villas look amazing, and the pool is fantastic. Plus, there is an apparently awesome chef cooking every single night. So it’s luxurious, and some days can be quiet. But it’s also close to all kind of activities that both Mr. Lox and I would love. Plus, it has MONKEYS!

Then Miss Brooch chose Costa Rica and booked there. And for about five whole seconds, I worried I’d be a total creeper if I copied her honeymoon. On the sixth second, I realized she is awesome and I was being ridiculous. I went home and introduced Mr. Lox to the idea of Oxygen Jungle Villas. And now we have booked our room and our flight.

So it’s official! The Loxes are honeymooning in Costa Rica! Now, who wants to come make sure Mr. Lox gets his passport in time?

What did you ultimately choose for your honeymoon?

We are doing our Mini-moon in CR right after the wedding but I think we are headed to Bali for the real deal. ;)

Oxygen looks amazing! We are going to Costa Rica too, just booked last week! We are staying part time by the ocean at the Marriott in Tamarindo and part in Arenal at Nayara Resort.

I’m swooning over everything at the Villas, but especially the private porch. I love the secluded nature of the place! Totally perfect for a romantic getaway. We had a blast white water rafting in Costa Rica, which was followed up by *the* most delicious pineapple we’ve ever had. We still reminisce about it to this day.

Oooh, Costa Rica! I visited during my younger days, and always thought I would someday return with my future husband. I guess it’s time to get that ball rolling!
