skywindO2 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Spent the weekend in DC and had a really good time. Missed out on some of the key things there due to short time and being a last minute trip but it was a nice little weekend getaway. I'd love to go back to see the monuments and memorials lit up a night. Loved the metro too, wish we had a nice system like that here in Minneapolis.

UKTexans Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Planning our honeymoon and wondering if I can get a consensus. I think we should spend the money on several holidays ticking items off our bucket list (Skiing in Canada, Road Trip in the US, Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, West Coast Ireland road trip, Safari etc.) whereas my future wife wants to blow the lot on 3 weeks at the beach. I get the argument for the Maldives but I just think in 10 years it will just end up being another beach holiday, whereas by using that money to do things we have wanted to do forever it will have far more meaning. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Can’t you each do your own thing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Real answer: Personal preference for me would be 3 weeks in one location. Both would be great and see arguments for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea isn't to hop around, if take 10 days in North America then a few months later 10 days in Africa for a Safari then a long weekend in Abu Dhabi for GP.

theJ Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 My opinion: 3 weeks is a long time in one place. Especially a resort. I imagine i would be pretty bored by day 4. But i'm different than most. So i too would opt for the various vacations in different spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
