Daydreaming About the Honeymoon

It didn't take too long for Kevin and I to decide that we wanted to go to Ireland for our honeymoon. We've been talking about going for a few years now, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Kevin went once in college, so he has an idea of some what's really cool and what's worth skipping. My main goal is to spend at least one night in a castle.

We've been playing around with our schedules and seeing if it would be possible to extend this vacation to last two weeks instead of one. At first I scoffed at this idea, sure there was no way I'd be able to be away from the office for that long. But now it's starting to seem like a real possibility.

Of course, two weeks in Ireland is quite a long time, and means we'd be doing a lot of just hanging out. I'm pretty okay with that, but part of the fun of travel is doing and seeing new things. Turns out we solved this problem pretty easily by adding a second destination.

On the way home from Ben and Autumn's wedding in California, Kevin and I had time to grab lunch at the airport. The television was playing a travel show that was pretty obviously aimed at children - a group of American teenagers were exploring Barcelona. It was silly, but there was nothing else to watch. And it peaked Kevin's interest. A few days later we tentatively added Spain to our honeymoon plans. With a possible stopover in Paris in the middle. It even adds a nice touch of symmetry to the honeymoon, since I've been to Spain and Kevin hasn't.

Things are still very much up in the air. We have only the vaguest idea of how this is all going to fall in to place. But in the meantime, it's a lot of fun to dream about what we're going to do. Though we should probably start planning this all sooner rather than later. And I should probably start brushing up on my Spanish.
