We met and married in Manhattan though neither of us was from there. My wife lived therefor 3 years and I was there with my ship in the Navy for a week. Our first honeymooon was in the Poconos in Pensylvania, snowy and romantic.

After we were married I deployed on a North Atlantic cruise. Several months into the cruise, my bride flew to England to meet me to have a second honeymoon in London.

While stationed in Virginia, we later drove to the Shanendoah valley and toured the caverns there.

I grew up in Florida and took me Mrs. to the good spots (not just the tourist traps) in St. Pete, Weekiwachi, and Daytona (I have yet to take her to the Everglades, the air boat ride and Indian villages are a must see).

Living in Texas and on the Left Coast for years we've taken in the various sites and tours from hot air balooning in San Diego to pontooning down the Riverwalk in San Antonio. We caught one of the last train tours to go from Corpus Christi to Nuevo Laredo. We took another train and bus tour through the wine country of Baja. We hope to do the Copper Canyon train ride someday as well as what is left of the great Canadian trainride.

We flew to Kuai (sp?) for a third (or fifteenth, lost count) honeymoon before the huricane hit there in '92 or '93. It was paradise.

We went to Vancouver / Victoria an absolute must see! Vancouver is a very clean city nestled in virgin forest lands ferry rides to islands and the Buchard gardens all the flowers and colors! Victoria was a quaint walking town very colonial looking.

Watched the taping of an Episode of "Becker" in LA which was quite an experience.

Honeymoon number *** ? was a trip to Colorado Springs and eventually Vail (once the white-out conditions allowed us to travel out of Col. Spr.). Manitou Springs was more interesting to me than Pike's Peak. In Vail we cross country skiied... my first and last time of doing all that.

We adored Prescott / Sodona.

Over the years we've cannoed, bicycled, toured, trekked, etc. mostly due to my wife being quite the go-getter and insistant I not sit around on my fanny. I usually drug mt heels at first but always always enjoyed every adventure.

On the horizon, God willing, will be an Alaska cruise, the Mexican Riviera, the train tours I mentioned, Banff / Lake Louise. I hear Montana is beautiful, and we would like to stay at Little Palm island. I promised to take my wife to the Grand Canyon (which we somehow managed to by pass living so close to it) and Niagara Falls (both of which I saw as a child).

Before we met we both toured Europe. I did several ports of call in Africa and the Middle East in 1979 and 1980 (at the time the Iran hostage crisis occurred). Neither of us desires to go back to these places or to tour them together. Seen it... is our feeling.

While I was either working or for one reason or other did not want to go, my wife hang tandum glided, tandum sky dived, flew in a biplane, and took many Southern Califonia tours. Before we met, she interviewed Marine tank operators for a tv talkshow she hosted in Amarillo and got to drive the tank. She also tandum flew a glider in those days.

In Fort Worth she took the Texas Speedway tour and got to ride in a van on the track. We later attended a race there and the thrill of being there in person is beyond belief.

We did do the Reagan, Nixon (who was more of a statesman than the world realizes), and LBJ Presidential libraries which are a must see. We want to see JFK, and Truman libraries.

In East Texas there was a train we took to see the Dogwoods in bloom around Palestine.

We have talked about a trip to San Francisco and Napa Valley. And we want to take in a pro football game at the stadium (we have seen several Baseball games at stadiums and one at the Park in Arlington, Texas. Maybe we can catch the Cowboys in their new Stadium when it is built.

Right after the wedding, we drove from British Columbia (where I lived and where the wedding was) to Ontario (where he lived, and where I now live with him).

We went to England and Scotland in September.

That's all so far. But we've only been married for 15 months.

Well, as a Software Trainer I have traveled to most of the States in the US, and to Vancouver and Montreal.

As a couple we have been to San Francisco, Washington DC and Orlando Fl. We dream of traveling to Ireland (we both have Irish heritage) and England, and Rome, and Greece. My Hubby dreams of sailing the Aegean Sea.

We travel in our dreams..... so expensive these days to travel.

For our honeymoon we drove from Northern VA to White Lake, NC, then visited Myrtle Beach,SC (two hours away). From NC we drove to (in a day) Ohio (going through the rest of NC, VA, and WV). After staying in OH for two hours we drove back to Morgantown,WV where we stayed the night. The next morning we went to PA and saw Falling Waters (which I thought stunk cause I despise contemporary... anything). Then we drove back home.

Next trip, we drove from VA to Orlando,FL to see Disney World together with my parents, it was super cool!

The last trip was to Jacksonville,NC to visit my biological family which was awesome for me and :yawn: :sleep: for hubby. We're hoping to go back to Disney World this May.

As a couple we haven't been outside of Texas LOL He's lived here all his life, I was born & raised in Virginia... We live & were married in Dallas... We go to Waxahachie once a year for Scarborough Faire ren fest; our honeymoon was in San Antonio; we went to Houston for Christmas 2004 (with the rest of his family LOL) and for our first-year anniversary trip we went to Granbury...
Someday I really hope we can get out of Texas and travel other places LOL... we've both travelled rather extensively before we met (mostly in high school and stuff) but not much at all since...

My wife and I have been to all of the eastern seaboard states, except Maine and New Hampshire (but would love to go to both of those places).
Florida, including Disney World and Key West
Hawaii
Canada
St. Thomas, VI
Bahamas
Spain
France
Italy

Would like to go to England/Scotland/Ireland, and some of the countries in northern Europe, or Australia/New Zealand. There is also so much of the US and Canda we have not seen together! So much to see, so little time. Unfortunately, finances are too tight at the moment (kid in college!), so further travel will be on hold for a while.
