Hi everybody!!! Thanks for checking this out!!

If you know us, you know that we love (LOVE) to travel. This whole honeymoon business is completely different for us... we are used to mostly backpacking around, so staying in nice places and not feeling guilty about it is going to be a complete change!

With that in mind, we found a honeymoon registry for those gift-givers who don't really care about housewares, etc. (and want to make sure that we don't end up in a hostel on our honeymoon). :)

Thanks for all of your support-- we're going to need a nice, relaxing honeymoon after the great time we have with everybody on May 24!!! Well, at least that was the idea until we saw all of the incredible stuff to do in Hawaii....

We're going to Kauai and the big island of Hawaii!

We are so excited to head to Hawaii-- somewhere neither of us have ever been!! (Thank you so much to Ann & Charlie and Mitch & Erin for your advice to go here for the honeymoon-- and of course a huge Thank You to our very own travel agent Michelle for helping us plan, even though we kept changing destinations on her!!! Thanks Bails). :)

We are starting out by heading to the Royal Suite in a 1938 plantation home that is now a b&b on Kauaii, just steps from Poipu Beach (http://www.poipubeach.com/bedandbreakfast.htm). Everyone says Kauaii is absolutely gorgeous, so we are spending 6 days here...

...before we hop on a plane to the big island of Hawaii to stay at the Hilton Waikoloa Village for 3 days (http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com/index_noflash.asp). This resort has a dolphin lagoon and program so we won't have to go far to see one of our favorite animals!

We can't wait to check out beaches, waterfalls, volcanoes, and of course dolphins (plus, those sea turtles look pretty cute, too!)--

Thank you so much for helping us make the most out of this incredible vacation!!! :)
