then, i suggested a cruise. but we couldn't really find some place to go on a cruise to that we were really interested in. lots of places in the caribbean are gorgeous, but we don't really want to sit around on a beach for a week, so that seemed pointless. we aren't interested in mexico. european cruises are an option, but we want to wait until we have a bigger budget to plan a trip to europe, so that seemed silly, too.
i have always been really interested in going to hawaii, but we pretty much assumed it would be outrageously priced. i was randomly clicking around on theknot last night, and i was just messing around on the honeymoon channel reading articles. i was browsing an article about hawaii, and it was ridiculously beautiful. i was craving it already.
so, i started doing some google research, with help from tripadvisor.com. hawaii is really surprisingly affordable. i mean, obviously, you can rack up a $6000 week if you stay at the $800/night resorts pretty easily, but there are lots of options that make it a fraction of that cost. i am more than a little psyched about this. there are so many cool things to do and see there.
1. volcanoes national park/volcanoes in general - hello? my major is rocks. yes, please.
2. gorgeous, amazing beaches - can't go wrong here.
3. dole pineapple farms and tours - NOM NOM
4. coffee plantations and tours - ditto
5. pearl harbor - dying to see this.
6. swimming with dolphins - lifelong dream
7. scuba diving - looks amazing
8. rainforests & waterfalls
9. helicopter tours - terrifying but awesome.
i could go on and on, i think. i am practically drooling at the thought of this.
