Thank you for visiting our honeymoon registry. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in San Francisco this September! We are hoping that San Francisco's "summer month" will provide some nice weather while everyone is out visiting.

After the wedding, Russell and I are heading to Italy for our honeymoon. Specifically, we're going to the Amalfi coast (where we can both indulge our passions-- Susie can read on the beach, Russell can drive on scenic roads!) and Rome (where Russell has never been!) We both love traveling and Italy is a dream destination for our honeymoon. Thank you for considering a truly memorable gift in honor of our wedding.

We're going to Italy!

We are starting out our honeymoon with a relaxing stay in Capri. We found an amazing hotel that looks out over the Mediterranean, has great food, and a beautiful infinity pool to sit by. We plan to relax for a few days and unwind after the big day.

Once we%u2019re rested and well fed, we plan to head out and see the sites on the Amalfi coast. Russell can%u2019t wait to drive the famous coastal roads, and Susie is excited to see the beautiful, historic towns and sites. From Sorrento, a number of things are within driving distance%u2014from towns like Amalfi or Ravello to the ruins of Pompeii.

For the last week of our honeymoon, we plan to explore Rome. Russell will being seeing the sites for the first time and Susie will be stuffing herself with the best Italian wine, food, and gelato.

We are so excited%u2014we know it will be an amazing trip we%u2019ll always remember. See the links below for more detail about our specific destinations & activities throughout the trip!

At some point we'll run across those less fortunate than our honeymooning selves. We plan to make donations to local Italian charities along our way to share our joy and make our vacation destination a better place.
