My Honeymoon in the USA (New York, Florida, Washington DC)

In this post I'm just going to give a rough outline of my itinerary on the trip. We actually managed to do most of the things on the list whoop whoop! Our second day in Washington DC was kind of messed up because the night before a freaking snow storm happened. It made for a very beautiful morning but it did result in a lot of places being closed the next day. Thank God at least one of the museums in the Smithsonian was open or I would have bleeding cried right there and then.

Oh, I'm super lucky that because my little sister is currently studying there, so I just let her plan everything and she became our tour guide. We paid her with Kinder Beunos and IndoMee. Apparently it is really hard to find Kinder Beunos over there. How depressing, those things are delicious!

We used Google Docs to plan things out. Made things super easy. Everyone could see the plans and edit as they pleased. Thank you Google for making planning a holiday with someone half a world away so much easier.

Below are screenshots of our plans. Enjoy and I hope it'll help, no matter how small in your adventure plannings.

I should tell you that the whole theme of our honeymoon (and sister adventures LOL) was inspired by Gossip Girls. My sister and I love the show and seeing the spots that were in the drama in real life are squeal-worthy moments I will treasure forever. I thank God that He gave me a husband who loves me enough to go on a honeymoon which had a Gossip Girl theme LOL

You can click on the photos for a better view, the words are a little small. Apologies.












Qatar Airlines Review :
The check in was smooth though the lines were long because there weren't many counters open. The seats were fairly tight, but the highlight of the flight has to be the food. Everything was delicious! We had a transit in Kuwait and it was the first time I have ever set foot there. While the airport was large and I think recently renovated, it could have been way cleaner and handled guests better (there were people smoking in non-smoking areas!). On our flight back to Japan, we again had a transit in Kuwait and our flight was delayed by a whole day. There was barely any announcements and they did not have anyone manning the counters where we should have gotten our coupons to spend on food in the airport due to the delay. Overall, definitely would not fly with them again.

If you have any questions regarding my travels, just leave a comment or contact me through FB/Line/Twitter and whatever else you can think of. Thank you :)

  1. Thank you!

    This is something that I could use. I'm never good at scheduling trips...
