Honeymoon
« on: March 16, 2010, 03:39:09 PM »
Getting married in June.  We have a free condo in Scottsdale, AZ, and we want to go check out the big hole in the ground.  How long should we plan on being at the grand canyon? like, do we just look at it for about 15 minutes, or should we plan on being there for a few hours?

Also, wanna head over to Los Angeles for a couple days. Anybody know what the best beach is around there? And, what's more elite, Knott's Berry Farm, or are there enough cool things to do at Disney Land?

Your honeymoon sounds like a pain in the ass.  Too much jumping around.

Getting married in June.  We have a free condo in Scottsdale, AZ, and we want to go check out the big hole in the ground.  How long should we plan on being at the grand canyon? like, do we just look at it for about 15 minutes, or should we plan on being there for a few hours?

Also, wanna head over to Los Angeles for a couple days. Anybody know what the best beach is around there? And, what's more elite, Knott's Berry Farm, or are there enough cool things to do at Disney Land?
the best beach in LA depends on what you're wanting to do.  a lot of people might say the one i'm going to be sitting on in santa monica tomorrow, while others might prefer Paradise Cove in Malibu.  really hard to go wrong with Cali beaches as an imo.

Could be, we're college kids, so we had to go with the free condo.  I know there's a lot of shopping and stuff to do around Scottsdale, but I don't do that well with shopping for one whole day, let alone 3 or 4 in a row so am just trying to find stuff to do. Also, I don't mind driving a lot.

It's a drive from scottsdale.  Pretty cool.  you could hike around for a little while I guess.  Unless you go on a tour.

Spend a day/night in Sedona.

If you're driving you'd be better off hitting San Diego than LA.  Love LA but San Diego is better in just about every aspect.

Was my original plan, but I have a feeling she'd enjoy Beverly Hills.

I still have about three cases of two buck chuck from the last time we drove out there.  Good rule of thumb - whatever extra room you have in the car on the way home - fill with two buck chuck.  It looks pretty bad checking out of Trader Joe's with two shopping carts full of wine.  But well worth it.

What do you think she'll like about Beverly Hills?  It is going to be a pretty shitty honeymoon watching your wife spend a fuckload of money the whole time shopping.  Also sets the tone for the marriage.  Not how you want to start.  There is really nothing else that great in Beverly Hills other than St. Nicks bar.

No money to spend, she knows this.  We have budgets and stuff already, so she'll be effin ecstatic just to see nice things that we'll be able to buy
after we're rich.  :runaway:

I don't know that you guys have put a lot of thought into this.   :confused:

Honeymoon destinations should be picked for the following reasons (in descending order):

1. Places that encourage sex -- for your sanity.
2. Exoticness -- for eliteness.
3. Places you actually want to visit -- for your enjoyment.
4. Budget considerations -- for your wallet.

If you're locked in on this Arizona idea, lock yourselves in your room and only emerge for things like dinner and massages.  Only try to cram in a bunch of activities if they're worth doing in the first place.  In other words, Grand Canyon = worthwhile day trip.  Window shopping at Beverly Hills = tremendous waste of valuable sexin' time.

Just an imo.  :dunno:

1. Duh, Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)
2. Any place west of Kansas is exotic to me
3. Want to visit lots of places
4. Budget-about 750-1000 once we get to AZ

Airline tix out of wichita to and from AZ are from her parents. Definitely going to Grand Canyon, the LA/San Diego thing is an idea and will most likely be decided after we've been there for a few days. Thanks for your overwhelming concern, now go check your blood pressure.
