As I mentioned in an earlier post, I originally thought we should go to Turkey and Greece for our honeymoon. Due to a fairly involved travel schedule in order for us to do everything we wanted, we opted to set that trip aside for another time when we're on a regular vacation and planned a …
Honeymoon Travel: Italy
Our honeymoon cruise took us to two ports in Italy--Venice and Bari. Venice was a very popular port for people joining and leaving the cruise--I would say the majority of passengers actually began and ended there.

Honeymoon Travel: Croatia

My amazing maid of honor/officiant/friend planned a wonderful weekend at Geneva-on-the-Lake, which is about an hour from us up on Lake Erie. I had …
