Happy Wedding Anniversary to Us

Written by Kyle about Nicaragua. Feelin' happy

It's your first year wedding anniversary and you want to do something special.  Do you go to:

A) Costa Rica
B) Bennigan's
C) Bahamas
D) Nicaragua

Well, for us, we chose Nicaragua.  Yes, it seems like an unlikely choice, but for us, it represented a good place where we could "splurge" a bit without spending a week's worth of money.  Check out the hotel we can get for $60 / night:

Of course, no anniversary would be complete without horses, so we took a little tour of the city via a horse-drawn carriage with our guide, Mariano.  While sometimes the honking cars took us out of our 19th century elegance, we were able to see a good portion of the city in style and without sneezing too much (I'm allergic to horses).

And, of course, we had an anniversary dinner.  Nothing says anniversary in Nicaragua quite like Thai food!  Yes, of course we could have gone with a more "traditional" meal, but there's really only so many ways to dress up rice and beans.

I don't know if we'll be able to go to someplace exotic for every anniversary (although it wouldn't hurt), but we're both glad to be able to share the day together doing something that we both love.  It is also nice to be reunited back as a traveling team, exploring the world together.  No matter what anyone says, it is way better to do anything with the person you love, especially when the other person has a kick-ass, professional hair cut from Chicago.
