Monty Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Tomorrow, my wife and I are celebrating a milestone, 10 years of marriage. Now while tomorrow will be a fairly low key celebration, Going out for lunch, dinner, and then nerding it up w/ the new Hobbit film; the true celebration begins at the end of the month, when we head to Cuba for the week. Funny enough, my wife and I made a bigger deal about our 5 year wedding anniversary, heading over to Paris for 2 weeks. So that being said, what would you all do when celebrating a milestone in a relationship: 5 year, 10 year, 15 year, 20 year? For fun, any suggestions as to what you think I should do differently with the wife tomorrow and over in Cuba. Anything that you would add in? Link to comment

AriGold Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I went to Cuba 4 years ago with a group of friends. We did an adventure we would suggest to everybody that goes. You start in the morning at 8am and take 4 runners off road in the bushes, it takes about 2 hours till you get to a site where you have lunch. You learn about sugar kane and cigars there and there is a zoo with aligators, snakes and you can ride a bull (very safe believe it or not). Then from lunch you hop into a boat and have a 45 min drive/race up river, everybody get's there own boats. Once you get up river you get a snack and go to a cave where you do some swimming (very very cool) and then the bus takes you back to your resort. Costs around $120 but well worth it. Link to comment

goalie13 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 For our 10 year anniversary we flew to California, went to Disneyland, San Diego and a few other stops. Then, instead of flying home we took a relocation cruise back to Vancouver. Anniversary aside, it was one of the best vacations we ever went on. Link to comment
AriGold Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Sounds awesome. Which resort/town were you at? We're in Varadero. We were in Varadero as well, when you get to the resort meet there tour guide about the adventures. There is only one that has all these options. Hopefully it's still an operating tour because it's awesome Link to comment
Monty Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Bring sedatives viagra/cialis and a video camera. And NO KIDS Wife and I have always wanted to try viagra, even though we have no need for it. Unfortunately, neither of us know any doctors that would be ok with giving a note for some.

D-Money Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 10 years, eh? Time to knock out a couple of kids, Monty! I am friends with an older couple who have traveled all over the world, and they said that on average the food isn't very good in Cuba. Except for one time, when they were approached by someone who worked at the resort and asked if they would like a lobster dinner. They said yes, and later that evening them and a couple other couples were picked up at the resort, and brought to a home that had all the curtains drawn, and shuffled inside. Once inside, they were treated to an absolute feast of lobster, wine, and all the side dishes - for $10 US each. Why all the secrecy? Because it would normally be illegal for a commoner to approach a foreigner, and then make a business arrangement like that with them. But that ended up one of the best meals they'd ever had, despite all the others they had in the country being less than memorable. So yeah...don't jump into a car with the first person that asks. And obviously make sure it's not just you going. But if you get an opportunity like that, definitely consider it. ...On a similar note, they told us which country had the absolute WORST food - The Philippines! Link to comment
-DLC- Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Canucks vs Bruins. I'd make an ex out of someone who wasn't down with that. (best wishes for the day to you and your wife...congratulations on sharing a happy life together) Link to comment
Offensive Threat Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 We have kids so our anniversaries are spent with family and I have no problem at all with that. My parents are retired and travel a LOT. 5 or 6 international trips per year but for their 50th anniversary this past summer they didnt have any plans so we got together and took them up to Whistler to the Fairmont Chateau Hotel over the Canada Day long weekend so they could hang out with all their grandkids together( my Moms favorite activity in the world) had great weather and lots to do there. Great trip for it being planned out kind of late. Link to comment
mau5trap Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Congrats! I have no ideas though - never celebrated a milestone anniversary before. Let's change that baby. EDIT: I don't know why I said that, who am I colon dee?! Link to comment
EX_Bert_Worshipper Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 We have date nights (at home) almost every weekend, but we totally celebrate our big milestones. For our 10 year, my guy had a scavenger hunt set up for me - was sooo sweet - each clue focused on a major event in our lives. He even got our oldest kid to start the clues. When all was said and done, we had a great couple of days in a fantastic, upscale hotel - lunch, spa (couples massage), dinner, dancing. It was amazing. I'm up for the 15th anniversary and there is no way I can top the 10th, but I sure as hell will try!!!! I think the success of a good marriage is to indeed celebrate the love. Keep it romantic! That said, congrats, Monty! Link to comment
