Once in a blue moon...

Today, there is a full moon, so what better to talk about than the honeymoon (No it's not a blue moon; the next blue moon will be in 2012, and the last one was Dec 31, 2009).

From www.dictionary.com:
honeymoon
1546, hony moone, but probably much older, from honey in reference to the new marriage's sweetness, and moon in reference to how long it would probably last, or from the changing aspect of the moon: no sooner full than it begins to wane. Fr. has cognate lune de miel, but Ger. version is flitterwochen (pl.), from flitter "tinsel."
Honeymoon
This is all Thomas. So, if you want details, talk to the man. I don't have the slightest clue where we're going or what we're doing. If you manage to weasel the information out of Thomas, don't spoil the surprise for me. If you come up empty-handed, then you’ll just have to wait until we get back to find out where we went and what we did.
