Kyle is a major adrenaline junkie; Alyssa is... working on it. (Ask Kyle to see the video from the Terror-dactyl at Cave of the Winds if you want a good laugh.) "Australia is an adventure playground, with more ways to get your heart racing and your pulse pumping than just about anywhere. Whether you like your thrills sky high, or wet and wild, by mixing with wild animals on their home turf or getting close to nature from a different perspective, there's awesome adrenaline-inducing adventure to suit every kind of thrillseeker." Maybe we'll dive with sharks or sea lions?! Maybe we'll learn to surf?! Maybe we'll climb one of the famous bridges?! In Australia, the possibilities are endless!

A full-day scuba dive charter and dive in the beautiful marine reserves of Goat Island and Tawharanui. See sting rays, crays, large snapper fish and perhaps encounter dolphins and a shark too.

If you know Alyssa well, you know that penguins are her absolute FAVORITE animal! (Need proof? Just look closely at the wedding logo!) She cannot wait to see these magnificent creatures in their natural New Zealand habitat!

Help Alyssa check "horseback riding on the beach" off her bucket list in gorgeous New Zealand!

Motorhomes or campervans are the ultimate accommodation choice for flexibility on a driving holiday. A home on the road gives you the freedom to take each day as it comes. Roam the country, finding beautiful and remote places to park and picnic.

An unforgettable full-day scuba diving adventure in the UNESCO-listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Dive amid schools of tropical fish, manta rays and sea snakes; explore the remarkably preserved SS Yongala shipwreck and spot sea turtles and whale sharks.Read more about Scuba Dive the S.S. Yongala Wreck on the Great Barrier Reef

After a long day of scuba diving, help us unwind with a romantic dinner somewhere along the Gold Coast.

A trip to Australia wouldn't be complete without a visit to the iconic Sydney Opera House! And we'll be there just in time to catch some Christmas Carols!"It’s impossible to resist the magic of Christmas as the 500 voices of the combined Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, symphony orchestra and special guests light up the stage with your favourite Christmas carols, seasonal treats and much more."

"Plitvice Lakes is probably Croatia's most famous national park, thanks to its tendency to leave even the most cynical visitor exhilarated by its sweeping natural beauty. Somehow, it actually gets more dazzling in winter. Usually abuzz with natural life and the sound of cascades gushing into blue-green lakes, now it goes quiet and still. The lakes freeze over; the waterfalls turn to ice; and the whole place becomes the closest thing to Narnia you're likely to see."

We'd love to enjoy a romanic dinner with a view from the Croatian coast!

"Soak up the sun, sea breeze, and scenery on this 8-hour boat-based sightseeing tour of the Elafiti Islands near Dubrovnik. Make your own adventure as you enjoy historic medieval villages, Mediterranean landscapes, rocky beaches and crystal clear waters of the islands of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan."

It's going to be hard for Alyssa to be so close to her Italian homeland without visiting, so help Kyle make it up to her with wine tasting in Croatia!

From mid-November until January, Tivoli dresses for Christmas and New Year and houses the most magical Christmas universe and market in Copenhagen.

Kyle enjoys ice skating circles around Alyssa (who's idea of a successful skate is not falling more than twice!)"Every winter, Frederiksberg Runddel, by the entrance to Frederiksberg Garden, is transformed into a wonderful ice rink which allows you to have fun on the ice throughout the winter season."

During Christmas, Nyhavn sets the perfectly Christmas-lit setting for your holiday in Copenhagen. The cafés and restaurants offer Danish Christmas delicacies and the annual Christmas market fills the cobbled street with decorated stalls. A classic Christmas experience.

"Explore Copenhagen's castles and other major sights by bus, and then discover the city from the water with a cool breeze in your hair and fresh air in your lungs.Bus (16 stops) - main attractions: The Little Mermaid, Amalienborg Palace, Nyhavn, Christiansborg Palace, The National Gallery and Rosenborg Castle.Boat (2 stops) - main attractions: The Little Mermaid, the Gefion Fountain, Christiansborg Palace, Christianshavn Torv, and the Opera.Buses and boats are covered and heated."

Help us discover Copenhagen’s beautiful castles, fairy tale history, and fascinating museums, all of which are included with the Copenhagen Card. With 86 top attractions to visit for free, we can enjoy our own sightseeing adventure!

Although we will miss our families, we are excited to spend our first Christmas as Husband and Wife in the beautiful Scandinavian city of Copenhagen! After Kyle pulls Alyssa away from the Christmas Markets and a stop is made for some delicious gløgg (mulled wine), a spectacular Christmas Dinner is in order!

Alyssa thinks we're too old for backpacking, so help us make an upgrade with wheels!
