comes bad news.
Pete and I had planned on going to San Francisco this upcoming winter, but since we're now engaged and attempting to save money to help pay for a wedding...we decided it won't happen.
BUT...we DO have a honeymoon to plan. What are your thoughts? Where should we go? We haven't really talked a LOT about the actual wedding yet, but we're thinking it will be in mid-July of 2010. So, the honeymoon will be in the summer.
Some places I/we are thinking about (I say "I" because I'm thinking about this now and, well, I haven't really mentioned it to Pete)
1. Roadtrip to Los Angeles/San Francisco - this will pretty much be exactly what we planned for this winter, but shift it forward a couple of months and for a longer period of time.
2. Roadtrip down to Disney World and spend one week in Orlando and another week on a beach somewhere - I love Disney World and while both of us have been there, we haven't been together.
3. Fly to Europe and spend one week in Paris and one week in London - I've never been out of the country and flying scares me but I WANT TO GO TO PARIS.
4. Roadtrip down to the Santa Fe/Albuquerque area and spend some nights in hotels, some nights camping, go to a spa, and see all the pretty nature - I love the Southwest area and think it would be a lot of fun to go back.
That's all I've got so far. What are your thoughts? Generally, we like cities more than rural areas, and we like to keep busy. I would rather not spend time in a really, really hot area, or a really, really cold area. I like to be adventurous, but I'm not the biggest "outdoors" girl.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! :)

my two cents: all of them are super cool but here's some feedback anyway!
disneyworld is probably somewhere you will go if/when you have kids, so if you don't go now, it's okay.
paris/london would be SUPER amazing, but if you are trying to save money for a wedding also, maybe save that one for when you can save up and make sure you have time/money to do everything you want to do. (i am picturing the stress of securing passport/flights AND wedding = mondo)
clearly, i am leaning towards one of the roadtrips. so then you guys just have to pick which kind of area, and LA/San Fran might be something fun to do while you are young and have energy and stamina! Plus you clearly already want to go to there :)
I agree about disneyworld (although we've avoided it so far with kids somehow...probably give us another 4 years...).
The rural SW is AWESOME. But it is rural.
My great aunt Sarah said that Paris was wasted on the honeymooners--that it was better to go later on, when you aren't so focused on, well, each other.
Personally, I would go to SF. But of course, I DID go to SF for my honeymoon. :^) And if you road trip I have lots of ideas that you can take or ignore....
The Southwest. It's a long drive (but shorter than SF), and so much to do and see. Wonderful food, art, culture, colors, weather.
If you decided Paris is too expensive you still wanna road trip it, I would totally suggest Montreal. It's like being in Europe, but kind of America at the same time. haha. I found it to be just lovely when I was there, they have some great free music festivals in the summer too, which is always great.
