We were debating bora bora or Paris. Paris won out because we can place our lock with our names engraved on the bridges crossing the river.
My father worked with someone that honeymooned there... said they got claustrophobic with the small huts, all the people right on top of eachother, etc. Said it's better on a postcard than in real life. Still looks awesome to me though...
Personally, I'd love to see the northern lights. I hate the cold, so I don't know how I'd swing that one realistically, but that's a definite bucket list item for me. I also want to be apart of the running of the bulls in Pamplona. I love adrenaline rushes but hate heights, so that'd be my version of skydiving/bungee jumping. I mean hell, you don't really have to outrun the bulls, just have to outrun the slowest dude on the street, right? I'm sure the whole event is just one giant party as well.
Check out the ones in the Maldives. We were looking at that for the second honeymoon, but Mrs. FromWA doesn't do well on long flights, and it would be about 31 hours of travel to get there at a minimum. But it looked fantastic.
One of the few times I've seen them is near Saratoga Springs, NY during the summertime (right before horseracing season). It doesn't have to be "arctic" to see them.
Actually, a long, long time ago, Henry Wenhard used to run some rather funny commercials. In this particular commercial (dangit, I can't seem to locate it on YouTube!), the fella goes, "We used to run Henry Weinhards out around Saragosa.....longhorns they was...or was they shortorns?..." I rally enjoyed these commercials, as well. Came out around that same time..and a little before: [video=youtube;iigxaFBTAZ4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iigxaFBTAZ4[/video] [video=youtube;3eqnGXTh1fM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eqnGXTh1fM[/video]
The recovery of the American economy. Unfortunately, it's much more likely that pigs will fly out of my ass. Go Blazers
