Our Wedding Map

First things first, all of the photos in this post are by Jason Fukura – he was our awesome wedding photographer and you can check out his website here.

It has taken me a long time to get to this post, but it’s a really special one! Â Justin and I spent a long time dreaming about heading off on this trip. Â We made lists of places we’d like to go, messed around with possible routes and looked up activities. Â About six months before we left home we got married and decided that the wedding was the perfect chance to get some great travel ideas from our friends and family. Â Each person who came to the wedding got a card and a little sticky arrow and we had a giant laminated map hung in the entry of the reception. Â Throughout the evening people filled out the cards telling us where we should go and why and then stuck their arrow (numbered so we could match it up with the cards) to the map. Â At the end of the night we had lots of great ideas and a really fun map!

So, now that we are nearing the end of the trip I wanted to post the list of locations our nearest and dearest suggested to us and to highlight which ones we made it to in our travels. Â We were flattered that many people picked their hometowns (for those of you we didn’t visit, we still want to come!) and loved all the ideas (and reasonings!), but we’ll need to make several more trips to make it to them all.

Here they are! Â Places we have been or will go to are in bold and I’ve tried to link back to our blog posts about the ones we have already visited and I’ll come back as we get more written and update the links for the other bold ones.
