Babymoon in Hawaii!

The newest rage is the babymoon. Basically, it is a new name for an old concept -- the last trip you take before the baby arrives. Since the Alpaca has already been to so many places in the world, the only ones left are somewhat exotic. Not exotic in the traditional sense, mind you, but exotic in the sense that these places are generally off limits for the pregnant folks.

There are several reasons for this. First, if shots are required or suggested for a visit to a country, that place is off limits while pregnant. If the food would pose a challenge during pregnancy, it is less than advisable to visit while pregnant. If the flight is too far, doctors recommend you make the trip some other time. There are a lot of rules.

Aloha, Maui! Thank goodness you're always there, always safe and always beautiful.
