and wish we were still in europe. We had the most amazing time, best vacation ever. Barcelona is such a beautiful city, the food was so good and the people were all so nice. Despite the euro its actually affordable too, we were pleasantly surprised with that. Meals were not alot at all and everything in general. Monaco was gorgeous, the place is so clean and just amazing, the food was amazing but it is a bit expensive but luckily barcelona wasnt so it evened out a bit lol. Everyone was real nice there too. In monaco I had the best pasta ive ever had, best ice cream, best pastries, french fries, panini and just food in general. Its funny though because most of the people there were italian and we felt as if we were in the italian riviera instead lol. Everywhere we went there were italians all around us. Also alot of english and german tourists, and some americans, saw alot of young americans there.
Before the honeymoon DH didn't have much of an interest in going to europe. I was a bit nervous about him liking it, i kept saying once he got there i know he'll like it but still was nervous. Well even i was surprised with how much he loved it, he was saying he wanted to move to europe lol, even now he tells everyone how its so different and such a different lifestyle, alot more laid back. He even asked me if i would consider moving there for a year hahahahahaha its histerical to me. We both honestly were so sad to leave we didnt want to come home yet.
I put up alot of pics on myspace, theres 301 of them hahaha. I know some don't have myspace, so ill upload the pics on LIW another time sorry.
Hope all the rest of the may brides had amazing weddings and cant wait to see your pics

Yay Denise!! I am looking at the pics now! They are amazing! We are going to Europe too-I can't wait. I definitely will check out the AX rates. Glad you had a great time!
Thank you
where in europe are you going. YES please do, it will help you, i mean when we exchanged dollars at a rate of 1.97 to $1.00 it killed us. If i would've known i wouldve exchanged all our AX travelers checks at the airport but we were told they charge more but it was the opposite and with ax like i said they dont take commission out of it. Its bad enough the rate is 1.56 i think now but funny thing is in europe you dont even get that, its an even bigger difference. And if we would've known we wouldve gotten more in travelers checks. CC isnt bad either, at the end of our stay in monaco when fh paid with his debit card he saw the exchange they gave him and they give you the best rate they can find, whatever the exchange is that day they get the best rate for you.
We're going to Dublin and Paris and other parts of France. I still have some more research to do but it's going to be really affordable in France at least because FH has a friend who is lending us his apartment for the week we're in Paris. We've really lucked out so far. Plus, we have our own tour guide anytime we want haha. These pictures just make me want to go that much more. Such amazing places!
ok thats great then that you save that way, in france just a cup of coffee is $7 euro, and i mean like the small cups at the restaurants they give you. I know its the same in paris bc the bartender in barcelona said she was just in paris and it was $7 euro for a cup of coffee and same thing in monaco. So its good to save on a place youre staying since its expensive there.
ETA: oh yeah and redbull was $9 euro for the small one, they dont have the bigger ones in europe. I did find this one small shop on the street and it was $3 euro so got happy when i found that, otherwise it would've been insane to always pay $9 euro for a small redbull

Oh, I'm sure the paella was great there! What better place to have it then in Spain.
it was and seafood was so fresh. My favorites though were the croquettes, octopus, shrimp in oil and garlic sauce. Every cafe had this as their tapas options and i would have it all the time. Its good too bc we would get about 4-5 tapas, and each thing was about $3-5 euro each on average, some tapas about $7-10 so spain was very affordable
Sounds good!

definitely interesting vacation, everything was amazing well except our last night in barcelona. It was going so well, we had a great dinner, went back to the lounge at our hotel which was a hot spot, but one of the bartenders came on her day off to take us out to local places and some guy tried to kiss DH, he threw his glass at him and dh got into a fight with them, it was crazy but thank god everything was ok and nothing bad happened. He was so angry and upset about it happening on our HM and now its the first thing he tells ppl once we got back
OMG, you're kidding me!! That's crazy! Good thing everything was all right.
