Honeymoon itinerary

There's been plenty of first-times for us, and one thing we are very excited about is our first big trip together.
Major credit goes towards Trip Advisor, we wouldn't have been able to plan this holiday without reading its reviews and other informative articles.

We planned the whole honeymoon via Internet. It would have been a lot easier to have it done by a travel agent but Farrah is big on research. We did a lot of reading online and found good places to stay, to go, to eat and we found some really good deals. But if you're planning on planning it this way, you have to have the patience. Farrah nearly ripped her hair out at one stage, booking every single thing and making sure it's on the right date, time, etc can be quite draining. It's worth it in the end ;-)

It was hard for us to decide where to honeymoon because December and January are difficult months to holiday overseas, unless you like winter. Eventually we decided to stay in Aust/NZ and save the big europe holiday for another year, maybe after we finish building our house.

So behold, our itnerary for January. If you spot us, say hello!
