All you guys are sooo much cooler than me! My wife and I went to Key West for a few days. The airline lost MY luggage and I got hit on by a drag queen.

My wife and I honeymooned on Oahu, Hawai'i. She had been there many times, but it was the first time for me. It was magical.

Well we are not actually married, though it feels like it, we've been together 30 years first meeting in November 1985. The nearest we had to holiday is coming down to my sailing club for Regatta week, from Northumberland or Milton Keynes. We've never had the money or time to " go on holiday" and for the last few years we often spent our time looking after elderly relatives ( either visiting them or bring them to us.) Sadly her elderly side of the family are no longer with us.

Oh those who think that he's spending money on sailing clubs but doesn't have any money this years sailing club membership for a family is just Ninety Seven Pounds and just over 100 for next year I'm awaiting the Bill!

Looking at the above date! 30 Years where did that go? I think I need to do something this month!! but what? taking her out to dinner even just for two might not be acceptable, As due to Christmas works, Sailing Club Christmas / end of Summer season / start of winter season , Model railway club, autumn and Christmas , and those of her art groups we are out to dinner around ten times in as many weeks. At the moment It might just be a big box of chocolates...

Next year We might just get a holiday in, now how do I get model railways, kilts and sailing in and make her happy?

I think after 30 years your definitely married!!!, most certified marriages don't last that long, I'm sure whatever you decide to do will be accepted by your better half as a token of love. Kit

We lived in NW AZ, at the time. So, Vegas was an easy choice. We were a relatively short drive away. Also, my wife had relatives there, whom we visited after, well, um, you know, we got acquainted with each other.

Thanks for the reply, Its sounds like an inexpensive honeymoon to me, which I'm all for!! Ours cost €6000!!!!!!!!! Kit

Yeah, it was really inexpensive, then. (not so much now). My wife had won two free nights in a downtown hotel. But it wasn't one of the better known ones. In fact, we had never heard of it. It was nice enough, but to get to it, you had to walk down an alleyway, from Fremont St, around the corner, in the old part of town. So we hung out at the pool of a nicer hotel. Saw a couple of shows, on the strip. We've been back many times since then, but now we stay with my wife's aunt and uncle, or her cousin, and his family. Now, seeing the Vegas sights, is the least part of our trip. On one trip, her cousin's wife took us on a day hike, up a mountain trail, on nearby Mt. Charleston. It was beautiful. I had no idea that kind of a mountain was so close to Vegas. During the hike, we went above timberline, to a nice waterfall. There were patches of snow, under the trees. Anyway, I now live in SW AZ. Near Tombstone (OK Corral, Wyatt Earp), Old Tucson studios, White Sands Missile range (New Mex), many other nice things to see near here.

I must get over to America, it all sounds a lot better than over here, the only things we know about America is based on movies, which not a good basis for the truth. Kit

My wife and I based our honeymoon at a nice small hotel near Spean Bridge, between Fort William and Loch Ness. During our stay we travelled on the steam hauled Harry Potter train to Mallaig, went up the Aonach Mhor on the mountain gondola and met Jock Scot for an evening meal. It would be hard to find a better place than Scotland for your honeymoon.
