Next year is our tenth (TENTH!) anniversary and Husband and I are looking into where we want to go away for a week!!! Hee hee hee!!!
He has a gazillion hotel and airplane points so we can pretty much fly and stay anywhere in the world. Fo' FREE. (There is a plus side to having a husband who travels all the time!!!)
Here are some of our ideas. Notice how they start to get crazier as we go down the list. That's how we roll.
Hawaii
Ireland or maybe Scotland
Costa Rica
Portugal
Malta
Italy
Tahiti
South Africa
Egypt
We're leaning towards Hawaii. (Not very imaginative, I know) But
1. We only have a week. Tahiti, for example, we would spend 3 days just traveling.
2. Some places, like Egypt or South Africa, are places that we might want to take the kids someday. So maybe we should wait on those?
3. Is a week enough to do Italy?
So you have two questions to answer here: Where do YOU think we should go? And what about you? If you could go anywhere for a romantic getaway, where would you go??

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and loved it so much that we went back again the next year. I’ve been to Ireland and Scotland too – both are wonderful but you’ll want to take your kids to those places some day too.
If it were me and I had never been to Hawaii – I’d go there. It’ll be much more relaxing than the other places and travel within the United States is so much easier.
Can I just say that I am jealous that you get to choose from any of those places? Maybe TK4 will take me somewhere fabulous for our 5th next year… yeah, probably not!
not to poop on your party, but a week really isn’t enough time to visit any of the places you’ve listed.
ESPECIALLY Hawaii.
My Aunt has been there twice, and she said that there’s just so much culture and beauty there, that you really need 2 weeks to appreciate it.
It’s your anniversary…splurge a little!
I would go to Italy or Ireland on your list.
If I was choosing anywhere it would be Greece. I would love to go to Greece.
I am excited to see what you guys pick.
I’d go to hawaii. Sure it may not be the most glam of choices, but you’ll be able to relax.
We did 6 weeks in Italy and still didn’t see everything we wanted to. And it’s a great place to take kids.
You can always take the kids BACK someplace. Go where you want to go! The future is uncertain.
My only advice is that you don’t try and cram too much intoyour trip. For example, if you go to Italy, just choose 1 or 2 cities to explore. You can always go back.
C’mon, we all know Nick just wants to go to South Africa next summer for the World Cup. It won’t be a very romantic anniversary with him running around shrieking like a little kid every time someone walks by in a Beckham jersey because it might just be THE Beckham.
We did Hawaii for our honeymoon – we had 13 days and went to 2 islands. The one island we didn’t do much and just rested and relaxed by the beach. The other island we had a lot more activities planned. It was nice to have the mix between being able to relax and also being able to explore and be active!
Gosh, I would not know where to begin! But Hawaii seems like a great place to start. I’ve been no where so…
Costa Rica is my vote hehe! But, I am a bit bias. You could also wait and see it with a local
Italy is great in a week, especially if you pick 2 or 3 towns and really explore those. Then in time you can go again, that is what my family has done, I can’t count how many times we have been there. We explore one or two towns each time. A week is plenty to do some things just stay really focused and then promise to go back. You don’t have to see everything in one trip! I would stick with Europe so Italy or Scotland. Both are amazing places and doable in your time frame.
Have fun!!! Let me or m mom know if you need any help.
