Mr. Lovebug and I were fortunate enough to be able take a break from wedding planning and escape to the Big Apple for a Christmas mini-moon! Despite living in Arizona, I’m a cold-weather girl at heart. So it was an absolute treat to spend a week bundled up, strolling around the city and enjoying the holiday scene. But I have some concerns about that great…

Sunday morning we woke up bright and early, and after a breakfast of leftover sugar cookies and kourambiedes (my mom sent a whole tray with us)…

we hit the outlet mall. Osage Beach is famous for its outlet mall–this thing is massive, and it can easily take a day or even two of shopping to hit every store. That would’ve been above Mr. Blueberry’s tolerance level,…

Because of Mr. Blueberry’s car troubles, we didn’t leave for our minimoon until about 7 pm–meaning we didn’t get to the lake until about 10:30 pm.

We got to the Lodge and checked in, and Mr. Blueberry asked the desk clerk if we could get a free upgrade since it was our honeymoon. We had booked a regular room in the main lodge; he gave us…

I think we may have found our mini-moon destination! A quaint little four guest-bedroom B&B in Camden, Maine. It’s still in town, but located on a quieter street (not that there will be much traffic there in April). The other plus is that the owners have avoided decorating the room in Victorian/Laura Ashley motifs—Mr. Broccoli despises both (and I have to admit, I get a…

There’s going to be a winter storm tonight in the NYC area, and I got this in my e-mail. I would love to go - I could use some Bahamas R&R. It’s extremely cheap too. Just thought I should pass this along in case anyone is interested. It would make a nice mini-moon also.

NEW YORK–FEBRUARY 13, 2007– CheapCaribbean.com just slashed a Bahamas vacation to $399.…

Last night Mr. Blueberry and I started talking about our minimoon. We’re taking one because we only have a few days between the wedding and when my summer semester starts, and we’ll also want a chance to recoup and save up some $$ before our “big” honeymoon next January.

We had been planning on going to Mackinac Island, in Michigan. But *somebody* never got around to…

On that same honeymoon vein, I have a few more honeymoon-related polls for you!

Because of the way our flights work out for our honeymoon in Madagascar we have to (poor poor us! :-D) spend one day in Paris! Our flight from NYC to Paris lands at 11AM and then the next flight out to Madagascar is the next day at 10 AM. So there’s just no way NOT to spend 23 hours in Paris. Hehehehe.

Which means -…

As you know, we’ve decided to go to Costa Rica for our honeymoon, but we likely will be taking it almost a month after the wedding. Since Mr. Kiwi thinks we need to take a few nights after the wedding as a little break, we were trying to come up with an idea of where to go.

As per usual, my choice is Disneyland. I would…
