JON AND FRANCES

HONEYMOON

Where again?

For our honeymoon, we will be travelling to the western side of Canada. We originally wanted to do an Alaskan cruise, but these do not really get going until a few weeks after the wedding. Instead, we decided on travelling through the Rockies, and visiting a few cities along the way.

If anyone has any suggestions on places to go, restaurants to visit, things to do, companies to use, please contact us.
