Aloha! {the honeymoon}

Although Dan and I both have very long lists of many places around the world that we'd love to visit (high on the list for me right now: Italy and Greece), when it came time to pick our honeymoon destination, it was a fairly easy choice. We wanted a) sun, sand and tropical drinks b) beautiful sunsets to provide the perfect romantic backdrop, and c) tiki torches lit up against a clear and starry sky. That landed us in beautiful, dreamy Hawaii and we couldn't have been happier with our choice.

With six days in Kauai followed by six days in Maui, it was an absolutely lovely honeymoon -- 12 days of soaking up the sun, boat rides, naps on the beach, snorkeling, candle-lit dinners and luaus. Beyond perfect. A dream.
