So HH and I are planning our next honeymoon, and we need your help. We can’t decide whether to go on a relaxing vacation: think lounging by the pool somewhere tropical (Bali, Costa Rica, Belize.)
Or do we go on a “trip” where we actually learn something, see new things, smell new scents, etc; thinking along the lines of Egypt, Russia, or New Zealand.
So what do you think? Rest, relaxation and foo-foo drinks under an umbrella? Or the camels and I comparing toes in the desert?
For the record, our first honeymoon was both a vacation AND a trip. We Eva & Juan Peron’d our way all over Buenos Aires for the first five days, and then rejuvenated in Carmelo, Uruguay for the last five. The perfect honeymoon combo bite.

I vote for BOTH! Like your first honeymoon. Knowing you- maybe you'd be bored with too much pool time. xx
I vote for the relaxing vacation. I always find that I need a vacation from the "busy" vacations when I come home. Costa Rica is beautiful, you can lay on a beach, then head to the rainforests, or volcanos, then find great night life.
I found your blog through the comment you left on mine today…thank you.
Your blog is very well done. I will continue to read.

Go to an Ashram in India for some spiritual exploration and then jump over to Bali for some R&R in a hut over the ocean.
to each their own and only you can decide but if it were me i'd go with option 2. do it while you're still young and have the energy to ride a camel thru the desert. you won't in a few years.
I will be your baggage bitch.
i also vote for both. hubby and i had postpone our honeymoon (we got married in may http://tearinguphouses.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-lov… ) bc we're in the process of unexpectedly relocating. anyway, at the beginning of the year we're doing both bc he wants relaxing and i want adventure — a couple of weeks in italy galavanting around the cities and a few days winding down on the islands in greece recharging. sooo looking forward to it.
