My experience, a beach is a beach. Maybe just write down 8-10 places, put it in a hat, and draw at random.

Also, I'd recommend going to the tropics in the winter. Take a mini-moon after the wedding for a few days.  Drive somewhere and stay in a nice hotel.  Then take your beach trip in January or February.

You should ask how many fights will be started over minutiae.

I'd like us to get back to the topic of fighting over minutiae.
How many minutiae do you see Harry getting moving forward, and will he have to fight for them?

I'm making a big assumption based on "honeymoon," but you might also want to see how your list jibes with the CDC's Zika map.  Reason #1 we're headed to Hawaii this month instead of the Caribbean.

Don't Google the Hawaiian Dengue Fever map then...

I'm booking my honeymoon. Not necessarily in the next 9 days but trying to wrap it up. Suggestions? Thinking Hawai'i, Barbados, Aruba, or possibly Southern Italy. Will be Hurricane Season so trying to stay away from that belt in the Caribbean.

What's his preference, yo?

IMHO don't skimp on the honeymoon and do what your heart tells you.  The extra $5K (or whatever) between a great trip and a "can you believe that trip?" is worth it.  The cash won't mean anything by the time you get to your death bed but the stories will mean a lot.

Trust me Zika is not all they make it to be. Lots of related mosquito transmitted diseases are worse like west nile virus (more prevalent in US) and dengue (Fla / caribbean)

Barbados / Aruba could get hit by hurricanes. They've hit all the way down to South America coast. If you come June to mid July chances are you won't have any hurricane trouble. And please note hurricane season in Pacific is same as in the Caribbean.

Where in Southern Italy?  Naples is a shythole, Amalfi Coast is fantastic.

This is a great place to go.

Mrs Phuket and I have been there twice in the 5 years. Some of the last unspoiled coral reefs in the world. We don’t dive, but the snorkeling is incredible. There is also paddle boarding, kayaking and other side activities.

Thank goodness! Here's hoping they also work extra hard on de-motivation during this stretch.

Gotta go now. Trying to figure out how to retroactively rob JJJ of a SOTG from last season.

First, I really do hope you guys have a great time. 

Second, Off topic? This is a thread about 9 days off...I find this to be perfectly on topic.

As to cruises...I've never been on one.  I really hate the idea of being confined to a small space with lots of other people (wife agrees).  I've got good friends that have tried the "luxury" boats, and confirmed what I believe to be negatives.  Finally, I've also have never seen any advantage to a cruise vs spending quality time in a tropical place.   I'd much rather immerse myself in local culture, and then retreat to my resort when I've had enough.  I am fortunate that I've been able to visit many places that way.

Interesting.  Couple of thoughts from my experience having done both.  Cruising allows for 'sampling'.  And I'm not just talking about St. Thomas shopping which I don't consider 'authentic'.  Chick and I have visited probably 75% of the Caribbean islands.  Many that few have ever been to.  Second, for many, myself included, there's the 'allure of the sea'.  Perhaps my favorite experience is watching a coastline emerge in the distance and my approach to the port.  Now I will say that a small ship experience is completely different (and better in my view) than a giant RCCL floating mega hotel.  THAT has little appeal for us.

Great discussion.

First, hurricanes are hit or miss.  And the European cruising season is essentially summer (May-September).  When's you wedding?  How much time do you have for the honeymoon?  Agree with others, make it a special trip.  Be happy to discuss this with you via PM.

Has anyone else been following along with their favorite Italian team during this break?  Gotta keep busy somehow.

Been using this 9 day stretch to do some deep thinking. Hear me out here.

Ed Morrow kinda sounds like Edward R. Murrow. Edward R. Murrow is a legendary news anchor. Ed Morrow will be our anchor in the paint next year. A veritable beast down low.

Proposed nickname for Morrow: The Anchor

Thoughts?
