It's been a while since posting, and we're happy to report that many of the bigger logistics are nailed down: we have a lovely venue at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts; we have a great menu planned by the wonderful non-profit Homegirl Cafe (affiliated with Homeboy Industries); we went strictly commercial for our equipment and our bartender, but it's all in place.
As we've been working on all of this, and as we continue to plan the rest of the festivities, we're frequently bouyed by thoughts of our honeymoon. Believe it or not, other than family trips or a Vegas weekend, the two of us have never taken a real vacation together! So we're tremendously excited by our plan to go to the islands of Aruba and Bonaire in the Caribbean, off the coast of Venezuela. (We'll have to return at some future time to Curacao, the "C" in "ABC Islands.")
What will we do while we're there? How long will we stay? Will we be fluent in Papiamento by the time we come back? We don't know any of this yet, but we're looking forward to finding out. We're planning on taking scuba lessons because Bonaire reportedly has some of the world's best diving. And we're looking forward to some hard core sloth on Aruba's beaches.
If you've been to these islands and have tips for us, we'd love to hear them! And we'd very happily accept contributions to our honeymoon fund! (We are looking forward to -- nay, need -- this trip more than we need, say, any china!)
(Note: Our ABC Islands are not to be confused with this or this.)
