honeymoon observations

• San Francisco is really pretty and unique but hard to define. (Tom you were right)
• Both Mark & I have discovered we can drink (and like!) vodka martinis
• New Zealand Sauvignon Blancis still the best, despite Sonoma's best efforts
• Santa Cruz is adorable and has too many cute shops (Sinead -- I bought green Danskos and pink Keens!)
• Carmel is not as snobby as the books say.
• Monterey is not as cute as the books say
• Driving an SUV is more fun than I feel comfortable admitting. (we got a rental Exterra in CA)
• 1 hour of cliff/mountain driving is enough. 4 is way too many
• People really do give you a better hotel room when you say it is your honeymoon
• Airlines do not
• You can watch Liverpool play at a south side bar in Milwaukee. Just eat first. Or the 6 Guinness will hit you. As will your new wife
• Cheap beef is the real taste of home
• I have lots of really nice relatives
• Mark keeps referring to me his girlfriend. I remind him that I am his ex-girlfriend.
• NY pizza is still the best
• Being married is just like not being married, but better
• And, sometimes you get to have a second wedding!
