Default Belated Honeymoon!

Am sooooo excited!!

Jamie and I have just booked our belated honeymoon. We had a week in Devon after the wedding, but we needed time to save up for this trip. Sooo, here is where we are going.....

3rd Feb - LA to visit Jamie's sis in San Diego for two weeks

17th Feb - Brisbane, Australia to visit my Mum's best friend in Noosa

25th Feb - Sydney to visit my second cousin - should catch Mardi Gras on 1st March!!

3rd March - Melbourne so Jamie can work on the Grand Prix and I can swan round the city doing touristy stuff!

11th March - Singapore for 2 nights staying in the Pan Pacific Hotel with a Mercedes Limo picking us up from the airport!!

13th March - London, arriving home in the wee small hours of the 14th, after a hopefully amazing trip!

I am giving up my job to do this, but I am convinced it will be worth it and then we can concentrate on buying a house and settling down! Yipeeeeeeee!

Sorry, just had to share!

Jessx

Jealous me? WELL YES ACTUALLY!!!!

Sounds absolutely brilliant - San Diego is just lovely - do make sure you visit Seaworld and the world famous (their words, not mine) San Diego Zoo - it is truly amazing!

As for the rest of the honeymoon, i'm in awe. You will have such a fantastic time!

Make sure you take lots of piccies and post them when you get back.

Will definately do that! We have bought a digital camera for this purpose!

This will be my first time to Australia, so I am dead excited. We both just decided that as the housing market is so crap at the moment, we should do something for 'us' (probably the last chance before we have to be grown ups! ) rather than sit and wait for the market to crash. Also, as lovely as our honeymoon was, it wasn't the trip of a lifetime that so many people have, so we thought - why not?

I just hope those airport strikes are called off before we go

That sounds fantastic, I'm sure you'll have a great time. I've just been on holiday to Australia and been travelling round for 4 weeks but now its back to the daily grind of work!

Brisbane was lovely where we stayed with some of H2b's rellies and Noosa was so nice but were only there for 2 nights. Sydney was great too. I'd love to go back, can I come with you???
