Thanks to all those who responded to my request for suggestions on where to go for a honeymoon. More than half the responders suggested that I try the beaches of Bermuda, the Bahamas, or other island resorts in that part of the world. (Sounds nice, but both of us are fair skinned and don't take well to lots of sun). Canada also came highly recommended. Hawaii also was found on the list and I would be going there if not for the recent hurricane. I agree with those of you who spoke the praises of Kauai, I spent a week there two years ago and absolutely loved it. The one common thread that runs through all the replies was that the honeymooners had a great time wherever they went. For those of you who are interested, we have decided to go to San Francisco for our honeymoon. I think it best combines our needs for a place that has lots to do but also affords the opportunity to not do much. I spent a year at Stanford so I am somewhat familiar with the area but my fiance has never been. I know just enough about the area to guide our activities, but have not seen or done so much there that I will get bored serving as a tour guide. We plan to stay at one of the small, "European-style" hotels in the city like the Bedford or the Cartwright where double room rates are about $60 - 70. These are reputed to be excellent hotels even though their rates are substantially below those of the big name hotels in town.
