Outdoors with Don Q: A special way to celebrate a special day

Thursday, April 5, 2012 - 7:24am

Elaine and I just returned home from a special way to celebrate a special occasion. March 30 was our 10th wedding anniversary and we had wanted to do something out of the ordinary for that event.

When we were married 10 years ago, we took a 19 day honeymoon in Southeast Asia, which included Hong Kong, China; Singapore, Malaysia; Bangkok, Thailand; and the last eight days at Bali, Indonesia.

I bet that very few of you took your mother-in-law on your honeymoon!
