Babymoon Booked!

Andrew and I really want to go on holiday before baby girl gets here. I don't stop working until the end of March and April is SUPER busy at work for Andrew plus he has a lot of people out from his group already. This means we will be babymooning April 29th - May 6th... and I will be 33 weeks pregnant!

It's actually quite difficult to find a close, warm holiday destination (as I have been advised to take the shortest flights possible - dehydration can trigger preterm labor). It was between the Canaries, southern Spain (which we did earlier this year), or Greece. I was adamant that there should be very modern healthcare available if needed, so after a few weeks of researching best flights, destinations, deals, etc we've settled on Crete - one of the Greek Islands. 

The flight to Crete is just under 4 hours and the resort is all inclusive. It's still early enough in the season where it won't be overly hot, but Andrew can still comfortably kiteboard. I am not expecting to be overly comfortable, but I figure as long as I have a lounge chair by the pool (in the shade!) I should be pretty happy :) Andrew has been really supportive through out the pregnancy so I wanted to make sure we went somewhere he could kiteboard. 

We are staying at the Sensatori Resort run by Thompson Holidays. We got a pretty amazing deal on an all inclusive package and we'll be staying in a suite! I hope I'll be able to do some of the really fun things the island has to offer, but chances are it will be a lazy sunny holiday for me in my super sweet Maternity tankini :)

I'm not sure if this babymoon is a good idea or a bad idea at this stage, but we did get trip insurance just in case the midwives tell me I can't travel!
