Honeymoon Trip

[Simon_16v]

Evening,

I recently got married in August and we had a planned honeymoon to California for 2 weeks. We had purposely planned the honeymoon so we got to visit various areas in California, we stayed in San Francisco, Pismo Beach, Downtown L.A, Long Beach & Monterey.

So amongst trying to take in the sights and enjoy it as a nice break away enjoying our first couple of weeks as a married couple, I tried to get some shots in with my GX80 which was kind of purchased for the honeymoon to get some decent snaps instead of an ancient Nikon D3000 with some manky lenses.

So below are a selection of what I've processed so far.

It was definitely a trip where memories were made and we finally got to relax.

Thanks for looking!

Congratulations!
Some lovely shots there. One place I definitely want to go to.
Some friends went to LA, Cali and Vegas taking in some of the parks and it looked amazing.

Thanks Aaron, the woman we used to organise the trip for us did a cracking job. We got free fizz is 4 of the 5 hotels we stayed in and even got an upgrade which included free breakfast and access to a club room which had free beer/wine through the day!

Nice! Got to go to both LA and Vegas this year for drone racing, sadly missed out on all the sight seeing, but both definitely places on my list to go back to!

Looks like you had fun! I bet that rental felt small with all the huge ridiculous trucks around haha, but great fun either way!

Nice shots, although, where are the 1000's of 17 mile drive? Probably the most amazing place on the whole west coast.

If I'm honest, I hadn't heard of this place until I've just googled it! Maybe next time we head over to the west coast.

So cute! Congrats!
We are getting married in June this year and just now started planning our honeymoon. As we are short of time, we are thinking about Vacations To Go rather than planning everything from the scratch by ourselves. Initially we were planning crusing, but we would like to have some privacy . So keep you posted on our honeymooning as well

We used a company called Travel Counsellors. A lovely woman called Julie sorted it all out for us, we basically told her places we would like to visit and our budget and she came back with hotels we could choose from. She was also able to tell them it was our honeymoon and we got a free bottle of bubbly in 4 out of the 5 hotels we stayed in. If you want her details drop me a DM.

We used travel counsellors years back when we got married in Malaysia, worked out great for us....
