I wanted to tap into the worldly expertise of this board for ideas. We would like to be able to do some of these things on our vacation:
-Scuba diving
-Sailing
-Surfing
-Biking
We spent a lot of time in Puerto Rico last year and feel like we would like to go somewhere more exotic for our honeymoon than the caribbean. Even though I've never been there she's made it clear that Hawaii is out (another time, I guess). I don't want to go where they hate Americans (i.e. might get blown up). We have also already been to Rio and though I'd love to go back sometime, not for this trip. I was thinking about Spain or Greece or Australia. Budget is not going to be an issue (althought I do have limits). 2 week stay. I enjoy relaxing on my vacations so a rural location or roughing it is not an interest. We are really open to about any other location that would fit these parameters. We do enjoy experiencing different cultures but neither of us knows another language so it would be nice if some of the people are familiar with English.
Any and all info would rock! Thanks

First of all, congratulations on your upcoming wedding
I may have a good idea for you. You mention scuba, sailing, surfing and biking and it seems you are leaning away from the caribbean.....but don't count out Tortola. You also mention "I enjoy relaxing on my vacations so a rural location or roughing it is not an interest." I can appreciate that
My suggestion is to head to Tortola in the British Virgins. Spend some time on the island, but make sure to book a six day scuba trip aboard the Cuan Law....you will get pampered BEYOND belief.....gourmet meals, great crew, excellent diving and only 20 guests maximum.
Here's the link....

I did this trip two years ago after having scuba trips in Florida, Cozumel, Belize and the British Virgins. This was the BEST (by far) scuba trip I had ever been on. A live-aboard was the way to go
The Cuan Law also happens to be a 105 ft. Trimaran, so you'll get to sail around the islands as well.
Good luck!
