socks with sandals...

i'd love to say that i'm laid back and super-cool and nothing bothers me because i'm like one of those free spirits that just goes with the breeze. however, i'm very much not a free spirit and most things in life, even minor, tend to give me some form of anxiety. right now i'm thinking about our honeymoon. we have no flipping idea where we want to go. i do know i don't want: mexico, carribean, or hawaii. so i've decided that abe would be choosing the location and making the travel arrangements. my only requests are that we get to stay in two different places and that there is a beautiful beach. so like a santorini and french riviera combo, or bora bora and tahiti combo, or something like that. there's a lot of really beautiful places in the world, i just wish i had more time off and more money. there's also a lot of little things to think about. i plan on laying on the beach and relaxing with a fruity drink for most of the day, but i'd also like to have the options for some activities and really great food. i want to come home with gorgeous pictures, and a great tan, and a souvenir or 3. but i don't want to feel like there's tons of tourists everywhere and they're invading my romantic honeymoon. - not that i'm romantic. it's a very delicate balance where relaxtion needs to meet sights and activities. it was like perfect in phuket where we pretty much were stranded at our villa, but we could find our way to other beaches and rent a boat and get away to snorkle when we wanted to, but it was still secluded enough to feel like a very private vacation. too much seclusion = bad. i love abe, but if i need to spend 24 hours a day alone with him in some tiki hut for 10 days, we will run out of things to do and talk about there's no doubt about that. i don't think we're any closer to finding our dream destination but we do want to book it this summer, so the clock is ticking for this part of the wedding and it's the most important part!
