Honeymoon Album!
We interrupt your not-so regularly scheduled Honeymoon recaps with an announcement that we purchased the album, and YOU can see it below.
On a slightly related note, the professional album came in a few weeks ago and it's phenomenal! Erica Ewing was a gem and we're blessed she was such a vital part of our most special day!

Honeymoon Day 3: Glowworms and New Friends Oh My!
*this series is back-dated, so is written as though we are in Turks & Caicos*
This morning, we woke to the Excursion Desk cancelling the Glowworm Cruise for tonight, but they were looking into getting us onto another boat. It's like we'd barely hung up (but maybe we just fell back asleep) before they were calling back with a company name and time to meet them on the beach!
Ellie made pancakes and coffee, which we enjoyed on the balcony as we planned our day. We decided to keep it quiet as we waited for the cruise.
We walked down to the beach, stopping at the Excursion Desk (I think we're going to either become their best friends or mortal enemies!) where we booked our Pony Ride and (wait for it...) Full-Day Cruise/Snorkel/BBQ Excursion for Thursday and Tuesday.
The water is gorgeous; a color blue you only see in pictures--or when you go to a tropical island. We basically hung out, alternating between lounging in the water on pool noddles or lounging on the beach. Rain came through a couple times, but it wasn't intolerable, and each bout went by quickly. At lunchtime, we just went back to the room and made quesadillas as we got ready for the cruise.
As we waited for the beach, we started chatting with Pete & Barb, another couple who seemed just as lost as were felt. They were a little older than us, and are enjoying his parents' timeshare. They'd been here once before 8 years ago and remembered enjoying the Glow Worm cruise then, so decided to go again. It was nice to hear from real people that the cruise was a good--can't always trust those website reviews!! Another couple was waiting for the same trip, but they weren't friendly at all.
Turns out we were put on a party boat--lots of really loud music and if the crew wasn't totally loaded, they were drinking vicariously through us since they were practically begging everyone to drink the rum punch! We kept ourselves at just a few cups though, didn't want to get sloppy in the middle of the water :D The glow worms were actually pretty cool--the females left glowing egg trails, and the males were glowing bursts. Unfortunately, they were too quick to catch on the camera, but we DID catch a couple on video, so we're counting that as a definite win! Barb compared them to fireflies in the water, which is really apt.
Oddly, we weren't brought back to our hotel beaches as we'd been lead to believe by the Excursion Desk. The crew suddenly docked at a seemingly lonely building and herded us into taxis. Honestly, we were all a little nervous as the boat was docking, and didn't REALLY trust it until people started getting dropped off...and then the fear only mildly eased LOL. As we approached the Grace Bay Club (another hotel), Barb and Pete suddenly invited us for drinks at Infiniti Bar. Of course we accepted. Infiniti Bar is both the longest bar in the Caribbean AND the first infinity-edge bar in the world. It's pretty cool, solid black bar with blue light strings set in the middle. We all chatted and joked for about an hour; it was nice to have actual conversations with people other than each other after 3 days.
I started to talk about Fluffy & the growing popularity of hedgies when all of a sudden, Pete realized he didn't have his wallet, and they were absolutely without any cash!! It was actually a super funny situation, he hadn't thought he'd need his wallet on the cruise, so Ellie graciously paid because it was just such a hilarious situation, and what else could we have done (although in all seriousness, we could have just stood up and walked off into the night of the beach and never looked back; but that's not how we roll)? The poor things were incredibly embarrassed, which I KNOW we'd have felt the same way. It was sweet how profusely they apologized. We used "honeymoon money" as a means of making them feel better.
We walked back along the beach, which was beautiful and moonlit; the kind people post about in their online dating profiles. When we arrived back at The Sands, Barb & Pete invited us for a nightcap at Hemingway's to pay us back since they didn't need cash there ;). We're glad we met them, they're a nice couple. And they've given us a hilarious story for when we get home!

Honeymoon Day 2: Exploring Providenciales
*this series is back-dated, so is written as though we are in Turks & Caicos*
We woke up this morning and had coffee, clementines and granola bars for breakfast (yup, living large!), then walked down to the Excursion Desk to get the details for our Glow Worm Cruise. Alas, it's the slow season and they didn't have enough reservations, so we're going to have to wait until Wednesday or Thursday; they're going to keep in touch.
Since we have a full kitchen and don't want to go totally overboard, we get a map of the island from the Concierge and walked to the grocery store--it was only a mile and a half, and the prices and selection were definitely better than the hotel convenience store. Don't get me wrong, the prices weren't GOOD, but when you consider a gallon of water was $2 at the grocery, and $5 at the hotel, we made the right choice. We just picked up some basics: pancake mix, some eggs, fruit, water and snacks. Something we both found really interesting was that there was a TON of gluten-free stuff, way more than I see in regular grocery stores back home. Maybe this isn't the "regular" grocery, but maybe a gourmet grocery to cater to the fancy-ass tourists?
It's HOT!! We barely went halfway before I knew I NEEDED to buy a hat. We went through a whole bottle of Gatorade on the walk down and another one on the way back; we were both covered in sweat (sexy, I know). The heat is definitely going to be difficult to live with the next 8 days.
It was awesome to get back to the air conditioned room and have leftovers from last night. After lunch, we went to the beach for a while. The sand is smooth and white, the water is clear and refreshing. As long as I don't have the crap burned out of me, I'm going to enjoy spending time here. It's like nothing I've ever seen.
Tuesday nights are the Manager's Rum Punch Party, so we went back to the room to get dressed for the party and dinner. It seemed like most of the current guests were there; the food and booze (rum punch and beer) were flowing. We think one of the employees is "family"--she complimented my rainbow earrings a little more enthusiastically than a straight person would. ;) The funniest part of the party came from another guest. This guy started yelling at one of the servers, really flipping out on the poor guy, because he "only came around this side of the pool once with conch fritters--the other side got them 3 or 4 times!! WAAAAHHHH, I'm a fat dude who can't be satisfied with only 3 fritters!!!" (okay, that last sentence might be putting words in his mouth, but it's true). The poor server was totally flustered, trying to explain that the multiple trips were because he could only carry so many plates at a time. Ellie and I tried to back him up, but Angry Dude wasn't having it. He even wound up throwing his empty plate on the trash cart as the server walked by. It was amusing, annoying, and sad.
For dinner, we went to Yoshi for sushi. (yes, the same restaurant that prompted the couple from yesterday to discover their mutual love for sushi). Their menus were on iPads, which was super cool--I think that's something more restaurants should contemplate. If we could have ordered through them, that would have been amazing! The walk back to the hotel was pretty quiet--maybe it's due to being the off-season, but everything closes early; by the time we were done at 7, everything was closed. Kind of disappointing. So we went back to the room and watched some TV and read before turning in.

Honeymoon Day 1: We Arrive
*this series is back-dated, so is written as though we are in Turks & Caicos*
Waking early, before the MBTA began running this morning, we were fortunate enough to get a ride from a friend. The flight to Miami was pretty turbulent, but not terrible. With a 2-hour layover, we went to Jose Cuervo Taquileria for tacos and our first official drinks of the honeymoon: Dos Equis.
The flight to TCI was short and easy. Providenciales is literally the smallest airport I've ever seen! Not only do you walk off the plane using stairs (which I've done once before in Iceland), but they only have one baggage claim carousel. We didn't have to crowd around the carousel because some of the employees were pulling bags off of it & grouping them around the claim area; made the process a little easier.
Customs wasn't too bad, and became the source of one of the best stories from the trip. We stood behind a couple who weren't talking all that much. As we are wont to do, we speculated what they were doing in TCI: honeymoon? vacation? wedding? We realized they hadn't been together too long when, as the giant advertisement boards flipped to ads for the one sushi restaurant in the country, the guy piped up with, "Oh, that looks good, I love sushi." "Really? I love sushi too! We should go!" Not long after, they were reviewing their Customs forms & Ellie noticed, on the "Why are you here" line, they had listed Honeymoon. *blinkblink* You are on your honeymoon and had no idea that your partner liked sushi? We really wished we ran into them during the trip.
We took a van to the hotel; even after spending time in England, I'm not sure I'll ever get used to being on the wrong side of the road! It is a little more humid than I had hoped; October is the tail end of summer there, so even the breezes are sticky.
The Sands at Grace Bay is where we are making out home for the next 10 days. It's nice, and our room is amazing, with an awesome ocean view. When we got in, we napped for about 2 hours before putting away our things and headed to dinner at Hemingway's, that hotel restaurant. On the way, we explored the grounds some; I can't wait to see it in the daylight. For dinner, we dived right into one of the most common foods on the islands--conch, in the form of conch fritters, followed by ahi tuna and mahi mahi; washed down with Turks Head beer--Ellie had the lager & I had the amber; I see many more in the future! For dessert, rum cake that was so soaked in rum that we felt a little tipsy after!
We knew about the potcakes, but weren't expecting stray cats! One little grey beauty hung around our table all through dinner. Ellie named her Snowflake, and she seemed to like it because she followed us all the way back to our room. She hung outside of our room for a bit, so we went out to pet her a little more; she was super friendly from many interactions with other guests; it was hard leaving her.
We called it an early night and spent the evening reading through the various tourist guides and relaxing before bed.

Random odds and ends
Tomorrow will be 7 months until our wedding. This is so exciting and scary at the same time. I am happy to say that in general I have not been procrastinating. We are doing a DIY program which has about 6-8 steps depending how you look at it. I have already started the steps that can be started at this time and we have ordered the remaining materials just yesterday. Tonight I plan to finish with the materials I have so that when the new materials arrive we can continue.
As Jessi mentioned we have ordered the wedding bands this was also completed a few weeks infront of schedule. I am excited about them and I am excited that yet again they are original and very "us" which is what I want from our jewerly.
We have agreed upon our song which I am very excited about now we just need to learn to dance a little bit better to it. ;-) I have decided on my shoes and now I need to go buy them or order them and break them in a little so I don't hate life by the end of the dancing night.
We have looked into an additional site to set up honeymoon activities so people can help us out with that as gifts. It is 3 weeks until we hopefully buy bridesmaids dresses and in early april the boys and I will be getting our little "suits." And then comes cake testing, entree tasting and final touches on our invitations which we have picked out. :-) It's all coming together and I know there is a million things left to do but so many are started and it really feels like it is coming together.
I can't wait until all my friends and family come together to celebrate this beautiful love that Jessi and I have. The wedding might be quirky, cheesy, and everyone might not understand all the little nuances that make it ours but that's okay. I'll know, Jessi will know and people that read this blog will have a little more inside information.

Glowworms: Not Just for Kids Anymore

| The Sands Turks & Caicos. Image from http://www.thesandstc.com |
We are spending the 1st two weeks of October at The Sands on Providenciales. After looking at their website, I'm pretty excited! We have a studio with a microwave & refrigerator, which means we can keep some snacks and drinks in the room, thus saving a bit of time & money. They have an excursion desk on site so we don't have to do ten tons of legwork if we chose to do any last-minute excursions (the Glowworm
We're too independent to really want an all-inclusive resort; we seriously considered one to make things easier, but decided pretty early on that we wanted more options. We want this to be the trip of a lifetime, and really be able to take in the islands. It's the main reason we are so focused on the honeymoon registry; every gift we receive towards the hotel/flight allows us to save that much more to put toward exploring the history and culture of the islands. I'm super excited about this! It's the last big thing that needed to be taken care of, and is going to be a very well-deserved rest after all the hustle and bustle of planning this wedding.

BUY US THINGS!!!
Okay, not really, we care more about people showing up than actually getting things. But I know our friends & families--they will want to spend money on us as well as their travel/hotel room/etc.
Sunday we started one of our 2 registries, at that bastion of bridal registries, Bed Bath & Beyond. "But wait" you say, "I thought you were registering for your honeymoon??" We are, but haven't found the time or energy to sit down with a travel agent to at least start making tentative plans like hotel and flights in order to better know what we're looking at for a registry. That's not this post though, so you'll have to wait with baited breath to find out more about that.
We've been living together for 3-ish years now (man does time fly!), and have both lived on our own for many more years, which makes the whole concept of registering a little odd to me because we both already have so much of the stuff that a couple would typically register for. As you can see though, Ellie was more than into playing with the little gun! Heck, that picture was taken before we'd moved more than about 10 feet from the registry sign-up area; we'd been at it for less than a minute before we requested that little baby she's scanning.

It's pretty amazing to me that it was so easy! Maybe it's because we tried to be reasonable (other than that $6000 worth of china we selected...) because we kind of want to force people to buy the honeymoon; plus, we're not yet in a permanent living situation, so were hesitant to go crazy when we're not sure what our rooms/storage will look like in a future home. Not to mention we can always have a housewarming registry later on. :P
Some people I've spoken with have asked or mentioned the idea that it's weird to ask people for gifts. In a way it is, but I know that I always (including birthdays & Christmas) feel better buying off of a list or registry than trying to figure out what the person wants/needs. Maybe I'm too practical for my own good though.

"Toes in the Water, Ass in the Sand"
* Post title is a line from "Toes" by the Zac Brown Band
 |
| Image from Google Images |
It's been decided. We are going to Turks & Caicos for our honeymoon! As you know from my last post regarding the honeymoon, we had some big requirements--somewhere family & close friends hadn't been, international, the option to both sit & relax and go on adventures, and warm. We've tossed around a lot of ideas. South Africa was my biggie, but the flight alone would cost around $1500 each and take up to 24-hours. Similar situation with New Zealand. At this stage in our lives, neither of those are reasonable options.
Turks & Caicos isn't a consolation prize. It's financially sensible, gorgeous (other than being in hurricane territory...), will be having their monthly glowworm orgy just as we're arriving (yes, that link IS work-safe!! I promise [I'm writing this at work]), and has a ton of other things to do: explore caves, snorkel coral reefs (3rd largest in the world), horseback riding and glass-bottomed semi-submarine rides. Now the only trouble is going to be deciding what NOT to do!
I'll be honest. I never thought of myself as the tropical island honeymoon type. But I think that might be why I'm really excited about this--it's something so different; which I really feel should be a key part of one's honeymoon. I'm thinking that, once we have sent out the Save the Dates, we will start talking to a travel agent and working on our honeymoon registry.
Now, let's just keep our fingers crossed that this year was Turks & Caicos' year for hurricanes & they won't get any in early October next year.

Money, Money, Money, Money, MONEY!
Really? Have I not mentioned the honeymoon thinking/planning here yet? I want the honeymoon to be something special and amazing, with a mix of stuff to do and ability to sit around and just enjoy being together wherever we wind up. It's also very important that we go somewhere none of our family/close friends have been to avoid all the, "You should do X" or "This is what MY experience was like..." We want our own memories and experience, untainted by others expectations. We also REALLY want to go international.
Which is why I am happy to have convinced Ellie that a Honeymoon Registry is the way to go. A friend is registered at The Honeymoon, so I checked it out to not only see where she is going and what they are planning to do, but also to see if this was a good registry for Ellie and I to eventually use. One thing I am really trying hard to do it use vendors that are LGBT-friendly, and this site uses the term "Partner" instead of "Wife" or "Husband" on the sign-up page! When the time comes, I'm still going to weigh my registry options, but this will factor into the final decision.
