Holiday location for 10th wedding Anniversary

(1/3) > >>

Degudodger:
This year is our 10th Wedding Anniversary so i'm looking to surprise the wife with a special holiday, she knows i'm planning something but doesn't know what.

Each location means something to us so it's going to be difficult to choose!

Perth
I have always wanted to visit Shark Bay plus we haven't been to the west coast of Australia.

Auckland
We have both wanted to visit Auckland, i did when i was 11 but that was 30 years ago and i can't really remember much.

Cairns
We visited Cairns (Trinity Beach) in 2009 and absolutely loved the place.

Tokyo
Because - Japan

Oahu
This is where we had our honeymoon.

Budget is set and all of the above are achievable - just :)

Where would you go?

Maldives or Tokyo

If you're thinking of going all the way to New Zealand, for the love of god don't spend all your time in Auckland.

My wife and I also had our 10 year wedding anniversary this year, and before we had kids a couple of years ago, we travelled to 4 or 5 countries every year - so must've done about 30 countries.

New Zealand was easily our favourite (South Island). Followed by South Africa. Japan and Canada are still on the list to do.

I'll try to get some pics up, but the scenery in NZ was absolutely breathtaking. Like nowhere else we've seen. We made it into a bit of a road trip, landed in Christchurch (a couple of days after the earthquake) and drove to Akaroa for the first day, then drove across to queenstown with a couple of stops in between.

Highlights were plentiful:

- The drive through the mountains to akaroa at sunset, when it felt like we were driving on mars. In fact every drive was spectacular!
- Akaroa itself was beautiful
- We stopped off a night at lake tekapo - which is powerade blue! And the sky above it is a world heritage sight, so many stars!
- Helicopter trip over a glacier, then landed on a mountain
- Paragliding off a mountain near Queenstown
- Jet-boating in a canyon

If that's the kind of hol you like, I'd highly recommend it, and can recommend hotels too.

If you want a beach hol, Maldives, Seychelles and Mauritius are all good - but have a think about Langkawi combined with KL - we really enjoyed that too.
