Well, let's see, though not very news worthy, in August of 1970, I had just turned 20 and the wife had just turned 18 when we got married on August 8th, 1970....Had a pop-up camper that we spent our honeymoon in at a campground in WVa..(didn't have the money to visti 50 states, but we both had jobs:))........now 44 years later we're still enjoying our camping together....
yep, nowhere as news worthy as the OP's, but the wife and I still talk about that Honeymoon we had together for a week in a pop-up a little over 44 yrs ago.....( hope the newly-wed's marriage last that long:)
Hmmmmm - 1-17-70
The plan was to drive my then almost new 1970 van which was in progress of DIY camping mods to Vegas (from L.A.) for a brief honeymoon, then do a better trip later.
However, the night before (batch party hitting bars) a lot of beer was spilled inside my van (the designated driver was a teetotaler LEO).
It sat closed up at my apt. during the ceremony & reception.
Thing smelled like a brewery - and no way it was going to 'air-out' in time!
So - Plan B - grabbed a flight to Vegas.
No special outfits - but the stews had us spotted (she said she always could spot 'em) - and the Capt. made a congratulatory announcement over the PA.
Of course everybody had to turn around (and/or stand up) to see the newlyweds.
OK - all well and good, right?..:@
Well - except for a slight glitch to return!..:(
LAX was socked in due to fog.
Been too long to remember if Ontario was an alternate then or not.
Anyway - check out the train. Nope - booked solid.
Soooooo - figure how bad can Greyhound be?
Heck it's only a few hours drive back to L.A.
Yikes! - Thing stopped at every tiny town along the way.
Took about eight hours.
Last time we ever rode a bus anywhere - "by choice".
(There was another *family* adventure years later, & thanks to Amtrak we were forced to "bus it" again - but that's another lengthy story).
Had to have a friend pick us up in downtown L.A. - and of course the Greyhound terminal is a scenic wonder, LOL!
Yeah - we did another honeymoon later that year that worked out a lot better..:C
