There is no question about it: Chris and I are going on a babymoon. I don't care if it's just some money-grubbing-greedy-man's way of trying to sucker me out of my money (an American probably came up with the idea). A good idea is a good idea and I will give into commercialism in this instance. I know that many of you folks reading this blog (and there are soooo many) have children of your own and you wish you had thought of this.
So, since Chris and I agree that we should go on a honeymoon, there is one problem that we've encountered. Where should we go: Queensland, Australia or Samoa?
*Queensland, Australia. Located on the northeast coast of Australia. I know what you're thinking ... Australia is just a hot, dry desert. What does it have to offer babymooners?
*Samoa. I thought I'd give you a picture of exactly where Samoa is in relation to the world. Basically, in the middle of nowhere. Tropical island located in the middle of nowhere. Lots to offer the babymooner.
Oh, it's part of my struggle that I talked about recently. And I know you'll empathize. We're still trying to figure out where we'd be happiest. You can't go wrong with either location, really. Here ... maybe these photos of Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia and Samoa will help you help us make a decision.
*Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia. No desert here. In fact, Queensland is as tropical as many of its South Pacific island neighbors. This part of Australia is just mere miles away from Papua New Guinea! The Great Barrier Reef is located in this area, so there are plenty of opportunities to go snorkeling (me) / scuba diving (for Chris, but not me ... sad.)
*Samoa. White sand beaches. Clear blue waters. Isolation.
See? Now maybe you feel some of our pain. It'll be okay ... we'll be sure to send postcards. (ETK)

Jeez. What pain you're going to have to endure! Both places look awesome.
But Samoa...how many people do you know that have been to Samoa? You can be like, "Well, when we were in Samoa..." It will up your "well traveled" cred.
Then again, Queensland is no slouch either. Which one is cheaper and easier to get to?
Good luck with the struggle. Keep on keepin' on. Power to the people!

I think you should go to all three - one for the honeymoon, one for the babymoon, and one for the hell of it!! :-)
Samoa, Queensland, and the South Pacific all look terrific, but I can't believe you guys aren't considering Antarctica. You know you're close by and it may not be there forever!

Hi there, I'm a journalist writing a story on Babymoons. Are you really pregnant, going on a Babymoon? Want to be in my travel piece?
Hi Zapper,
Email me at cjkemp@gmail.com and we can arrange to talk. Do it quickly though ... we go on our babymoon in about a week!
