Our wedding and honeymoon have past, we have distributed our wedding photos, sent out our thankyous, and now five months later have also finished the writing of our honeymoon journal.
We left the day after our wedding, and were very grateful for all the people that gave money towards the honeymoon. It really did allow us to pack a lot more activities in, see more, and experience more of Hawaii, in comfort and in style.

| Morven’s advice for prospective Hawaii honeymooners | Go visit Snorkel Bob on your first day, and find out about snorkelling on the island your on. |
| Tom’s advice for prospective Hawaii honeymooners | If you intend on travelling around the Big Island, it’s pretty much essential to use a 4WD. Whichever island you rent a car on, don’t rely on just maps, use a GPS too! Your holiday time is worth so much more than the cost of renting a GPS. |
