Honeymoon’s booked! I dragged my cold/flu infected body down to the centre with Michelle on Monday where we went into Cambuslang Travel and a very helpful lady named Yvonne spent over an hour getting the best price for us. We had not come unprepared, we were armed with a previous quote from Thompson travel agents (which was not much more to be fair) which was to be the bench mark Yvonne had to beat.

After getting all the details and our new quote I headed home fuzzy headed and sniffley while Michelle went to lunch with her sister. I wasn’t so fuzzy headed enough however to forget to try and beat my new price. I phoned Magic breaks and then another place which my mum suggested and which name escapes me to try and beat Yvonne’s quote. They failed surprisingly and Spectacularly.

Given the recommendations I had received for these places as the places to go for a good cheap holiday my renowned scepticism was tweaked as to the quality of the Yvonne Quote. My sister had previously recommended a site called tripadvisor.com to me so I went looking for the hotels listed in the Yvonne Quote. Both hotels were fine, with one having very high reviews and, while the other had mixed reviews, most of its points were lost simply by the age of building rather than the accommodation its self.

The Yvonne Quote was a winner and it was booked yesterday morning.

My Wife and I will fly from Glasgow on the 2nd September heading for New York City, New York where we will stay at The Jolly Hotel Madison Towers located in Madison Avenue (and seen above to your left). We will stay in the earth greatest city for five nights departing on the 7th September for the Hawaiian island Kauai (Jurrasic Park was filmed there!)where we will stay at the ResortQuest Islander on the Beach Hotel(above right) for a further 5 nights in an ocean view room. (below)

Obviously there are lots of things to do in NYC and in Hawaii we can just chill out and enjoy the sun the sand and the sea.

Naturally this wonderful holiday had to have one draw back (you didn’t think it could really be that perfect did you?). Seems we have to make a stop for a whole day on the way back home in San Francisco. I suppose we’ll just go to Alcatraz or something to pass the time…

NB: the story above has been slightly edited for the sake of poetic licence. All details of the events described are accurate though the actual booking of the Honeymoon was a little more long winded than I though necessary to tell.

PS You’re all so jealous! You know this and I know this.
