If you and your new husband want your honeymoon to make a lasting impact on the world, why don’t you spend it in a place of poverty? Spend a week doing missions in Africa or volunteering with a feeding program in the jungles of the Caribbean? There is a big need in these places, but few are willing to go. A mission trip will give you a vacation, but it will also deepen your connection as your serve others together.

3. A Hot Air Balloon
