Honeymoon?

This post is not about me, but it is about the worst idea for the end of a honeymoon ever. Yesterday I read that Prince William will be ending a honeymoon that includes the Seychelles and a tour of Canada with.......wait for it.......L.A. blech. His new wife has never been to the United States and of all the beautiful (and non stereotypical) places to go he picks L.A? Maybe she has always wanted to go there and see Hollywood or something lame like that but I get the feeling she is going to be extremely disappointed. L.A. SUCKS. So here I have provided a list of places that would be a thousand times better.

Big Sur- Maybe I am just partial because I grew up near here but it is one of the post amazing places in the world. I suggest a neo-hippie lunch at Nepenthe, and then a stay at Post Ranch Inn.
Another idea would be The Grand Canyon. The sheer grandness (pardon the pun) is unimaginable until you actually see it in person. Suggestions would be to take a the Wild West Train Ride around the rim and then a rafting tour on the Colorado River below. A little stopover in Vegas couldn't hurt either.
If it is the city that Kate craves then ditch L.A. and try San Francisco instead. It has more style, more class, more history, and less traffic (only by a little!)
Finally a possible visit to the South might be interesting. Can't hurt by going to New Orleans (I have never been) and see the grand old Southern Mansions.
So...Prince William. ANYWHERE but L.A.!
