Honeymoon Planning Part 2

This is the second part of Honeymoon Planning where Yeng and I are figuring out where to spend our honeymoon. Read part 1 here.

-----

Another option for us would be to spend our honeymoon in the US. This can't be discounted because Yeng's parents and her two younger siblings have been US residents (in Illinois) for the past 3 years now, and the chance to visit family is always nice.

There are a couple of places in the US that we still have haven't visited but are in our list of "must-visit"places. Off the top of my head are: Las Vegas, Washington DC, and Florida. Seattle also comes to mind. And even if we've already visited New York, its worth going to again even just for the Broadway plays, and there is of course Chicago (where family is).

Having said that, we just visited the US this past Christmas and I'm not sure if we'd like to visit again so soon. The lure of experiencing other places may just be too much! Anyway, we are keeping our options open, we still have a couple of months to go to figure it out.

Here are a couple of pictures I took while we were on vacation in the US this Dec-Jan.

Honeymoon Planning Part 1

Probably one of the most difficult choices to make in preparing for a wedding is the choice of where to spend the honeymoon.

Yeng and myself are relatively traveled. We've been to a couple of destinations within the Philippines and outside as well. For those who follow Yeng in facebook, she just loaded a couple of hundred photos from our recent US trip. In addition to these trips, I have also done a bit of travelling alone, usually after business trips.

Probably one of the criteria for choosing our honeymoon destination is someplace we've never been to before. As there are thousands, this doesn't really eliminate a lot. But at least its a starting point.

As I've never posted any of the pictures of our/my travels. I'll post a couple of pics in this series of "Honeymoon Planning" just to give a flavor of where we have been to already.

For this post, let me share with you some pictures from Barcelona, Spain that I visited back in 2008.
