Real Honeymoon: Bali and Thailand

This sweet couple came to us from Connecticut with no idea where they wanted to go. We talked about Asia, Africa, and Europe. After an initial call, we narrowed it down to Asia, which was a new continent for the couple to tackle! They even accepted that it would take nearly 30 hours to reach their first destination, Bali. They wanted a mix of culture, beach time, and wildlife viewing.

Annie put together a honeymoon itinerary that exceeded any expectation or fantasy that my (now) wife and I could have dreamed up. Our two weeks spent in southeast Asia could not have been more seamless; we had itineraries in paper and digital form and people on the other side ready to welcome and chauffeur us wherever we went. Annie took the guess work out of the entire vacation and I am truly so appreciative for her help and support along the way.
