We registered for our wedding at SimpleRegistry!

Shannon & Hal

Oh, you'd like to shower us with more than just love? How kind of you!

If by rare chance our wedding doesn't save the world as planned, we'll be honeymooning in Mayan territory to ask the ancient civilizations what's up. Maybe even politely persuade them to at least postpone Doomsday.

We'll fly into the Yucatan Peninsula ** and travel down the Riviera Maya coast into Belize. We'd like to not be homeless on the beach. A roof over our heads would be nice. And maybe a massage or two.

We've listed a few other fun items that would make life extra pleasurable upon our return.

Thank you, dear friends and family, for making our honeymoon dreams come true!

** Did you know? We're visiting an energy vortex! It has a strong electromagnetic field that was caused by a meteorite hitting the Yucatan Peninsula roughly 65 million years ago, and is associated with causing extinction of the dinosaurs. This area was created during the ice ages when the ocean levels were much lower than they are today, what was once a giant coral reef became exposed to the atmosphere and eventually became the massive cave systems were formed by gradual dissolving of the porous coral limestone. It has been estimated that there are approximately 30,000 cenotes or exposed access points to these cavern and cave systems and thousands of miles of underwater cave passageways have already been explored. Ancient fossilized remains of Camels, giant Jaguars and Mammoths are among the interesting archaeological finds in recent years. Cool!

A fancy non-iPhone camera. We don't have one. We'd like to remember our honeymoon when we're old and gray.
