"Me too!"

My wife and I travelled for a year through Asia after getting married.  I
took a 7600D along AND did monitoring for VOA while I was on an
'intermittent appointment' from my job there!

There's NOTHING wrong with taking a radio along on a honeymoon ... it's
important to know when to stop listening to the radio and start paying
attention to your mate however!
