Thank you for visiting our Honeymoon Registry! We currently live in a tiny one bedroom apartment in Arlington, VA. As much as we would both love to collect things for our future, realistically, we have no room for it. Instead, we would be honored if you would contribute to our Honeymoon.

In mid August we will jet off to the Southern Hemisphere for a month to explore the North and South Island of New Zealand and Sydney. We are renting a "Spaceship" camper van and will slowly work our way around both islands. We figure this is a once in a life-time trip, so we might as well live it up with as many adventure activities as possible.
