Honeymoon in October

congrats on the wedding!
getting around in the maldives is a mission...nothing is easy. your choices are walk (around the island/resort), seaplane, or boat. i did the full boat trip thing there a few years ago, & it was an awesome experience. i'd do it again in a heartbeat. hopefully your wife-to-be doesn't mind lounging by the pool most of the day, b/c you're going to be in the water a LOT. the waves are so good...very dependent on wind direction, but if Lohi's is blown out, there are other waves in the area that should be ok due to slightly different angles. paddling from the resorts seemed like a ***** when i was there. most people staying on land were still shuttled out to the line up by boat; i never saw anyone do the full paddle.
as much as i'd love to go back, i'm not sure it would be my choice for a honeymoon. my fiancee's not the type to be content to sit around by the pool while i surf my brains out & then collapse from exhaustion & i'm not sure how easy/practical/accessible other activities are there. we compromised & are going to costa rica for our honeymoon in july...i'll be able to surf in the morning & evening & we can do stuff together during the day when/if the sea breeze cranks up...seems like there's a lot more to do there & it's easier to access then in the maldives.
in october, you're also pushing your limits on surf...once the summer monsoons wind down, the atolls become over run by divers...it's impossible to get a surf charter during the winter b/c they're all booked up w/ scuba guys.

 

Dude, you seem like a level-headed type of dude........

Don't get married, man. I'm not trying to harsh your buzz mellow, but I can't sit here and go, "Oh congratulations." I just can't do it.

People don't get along very well the more they are exposed to each other. The things people consider "cute" aboot each other actually grow to become the most annoying things on the planet.

Everyday,..........there he/she is.............arrrgghhhhh.........everyday. Older married couples, who have lasted, get this weird vibe going between them. Like, they have just resigned themselves to their partnership, and they just go with it. But there's no spark left anymore. Just two people who have decided they are going to tolerate sharing a bathroom with each other for the next God knows how many years.

And this tolerance I speak of only exists for people born before 1950. The younger generations just don't have it. Blame feminism but women don't "need" to be married anymore like they used to. So, that puts added pressures on the manfolk.

Individualism and isolation does a character good. Makes you tough....like Tuffskins Jeans. Plus, after marriage, I bet you'll hear, " You're going surfing again ??!!??" It will happen. People change once they get hitched.

Sign a pre-nup, dude. And for God's sakes don't have kids, man. Dude, there's like 7 billion people on this planet already.

 

I always answer the same thing, like a broken record, for whatever travel occasion:

Barbados.

 

My 2 cents, I love CR but October/November are your worst 2 months.
Congratulations to you and your bride and good luck!

 

sure thing! flight is BRUTAL. if you go ahead & do it, make sure to get your doc to prescribe some sleep aids for the flight. if it's packed, you'll be lucky to sleep at all. my flight home was full to the brim...easily the worst part of the trip, rubbing shoulders w/ an indian/arabian guy who hadn't showered in who knows how long. be careful of HOW you book your flight...singapore air will have you laying over in singapore for 20+ hours...jfk-hnl-sin-male...WAAAYYY too much trouble to get into to be there for that long. air emirates is the way to go...jfk-dubai-male. 17.5 hours total flight time. way easier, fewer changes to screw up.
maybe save the "once in a lifetime" trip like the maldives for a big anniversary or a bros-only surf trip.

 

Hawaii is the honeymoon capital for a reason... The natural beauty here is nuts, it doesn't even bother me when there's no waves cause theres so much to do and see...

That being said October is borderline too early to really score massive north swells... You can surf just about everyday on kauai or oahu, but u might not get double to triple overhead in October...

 

The hyatt in poipu is as good as resorts get, and when I was there it was chest high beach break on the beach right out back, but if north swells show up hanalei bay is the spot and that's an hour from poipu.. october is a tough call on where to stay... There def won't be anymore south swells, but poipu catches windswell fro the tradewinds all day

 

def kaui, surf might not be huge but still should be able to score the chick will def thankyou, tons of stuff to do nice people poliholi beach is suuuper sick for the view and if theres any west in the swell queens pond, fishermans,and lets not forget infinitys,all super sick even when it only alittle overhead.hanalea might just be for the sights that time of year but there worth it,but if you do get lucky with the mysto fall swell youll be stoked.usually starts blown around mid to late morn so youll still have plenty of time with the chick unless west side is firing and if thats the case she should know the deal by now lol congrats and good luck

 

I've heard Northern Brazil is the tits too... you can shoot over to Noronha or stay there.

Never been, it's on the bucket list.

 

Well, I'm no typical "bro." God, I hate that word. Everyone use, "Dude," not "Bro." Most of your G-Town HomeThugs from around the way probably tell you not to get married because they think you should live a playboy lifestyle. Partying and bedding strange chicks........

I don't support that type of stuff. Promiscuity gives you AIDS and hurts dogs. That's is NOT where I was coming from.

It's just everywhere I look: It's divorce, fighting, Budweiser-fueled domestic violence, broken children, infidelity.............It just goes on and on.

I hope you guys really have that fairy tale type of relationship, but coming from the hard, gritty, streets of Southern New Jersey, I am a jaded son-of-a-*****. I really hope you do. Maybe you do.

Well, you answered my post correctly. Instead of insulting me, you proclaimed your love for her. I hope she's reading !! Oh shoot bru, I just watched a Lockup Raw episode last night and some dude married a "woman" but found out later "she" had one of them operations. Don't get taken by that one. lol hee hee hee

Yo, I'm not insulting, heck maybe I'm guilty at times too, but I love how people love to give advice and bond-up over certain issues on here. It's cute.

Anyways, F these warm water, Choke Moke, or Muslim 3rd worlds..........Dude, Go to Iceland........

Iceland. Dude, there is less than 350,000 people in the country. It's like walking on a frozen moon. They got bubs, too, baby.

Elves, you and your gal can go on a search for elves. It doesn't get more romantic than that. What? You beg to differ? Dude, you can be completely alone there, feeling like you are the only people on the planet. It is reported that the elves think some people are cool enough to let their prescence know. They offer coffee and pancakes to certain humans.

This is no joke. I am dead friggin serious aboot this stuff.

 

Sayulita is supposed to be good for a Honeymoon with a surfer and non surfer

 

Hey tuck into this one, ese......

After I posted my last thang, I setteld down to read The Philadelphia Inquirer. As I perused the Travel section I saw a Top Ten list for most friendly locations(how they treat tourists) compiled by some friggin World Travel Association thingamajig. Who was numero uno?

Mother trucking Iceland. That's who.

Man, who needs those choke mokes looking at your girl and trying to sell you oregano and lawn clippings.....

Who wants to get woke early in the morning for the first of five prayer times and dodge snakes and mozzies.

Yeah, it ain't hot in Iceland. But hot sucks. It breeds vermin. It make you sweat. It can give you skin cancer. Hot is dirty.

Open mindedness and a close sense to nature exists there. Hey you like ponies? Aww man, Icelandic ponies are the best. There's an average of 3 people per square km. 95% of the people live in Reykjavic so when you're oot in the countryside you can be loony and let your guard down.

Ahhh ****, now I really want to go. Hey I'll marry you, dude, if we go to Iceland on the Hooneymoon. Though I might not come back with you.

Well, goog fero(have a good journey) and skal(cheers). Oh and "alfur" is elf in the native tongue and the plural elves is "alfar."

 

I'm getting married in the end of sept and booked a trip to the Maldives on the Ocean Divine from the 6th to the 13th for the honeymoon. Seems pretty cool and a lot of stuff to do for the wife when I'm out surfing all day. www.ocean-divine.com
