Our 1 year wedding anniversary is coming up this weekend :) We decided when we got married that each year for our anniversary we would go somewhere we've never been to celebrate and renew our commitment to each other. The only problem is that we can't decide between Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick, GA or a B&B in Amelia Island, FL.
Both are less than 1.5 hours from us and we haven't been to either place. The hostel represents adventure and eco-friendly living and serves a vegetarian family style meal each night! For only $50/night for the both of us, this would leave plenty of money for checking out the nearby plantations and historical landmarks.
The B&B's in Amelia Island are all luxurious getaways with romance written all over them. They offer fresh baked cookies, gourmet breakfasts, and bicycles to explore the nearly private beaches.
The cons? The hostel is...well...a hostel. You can stay in a tree house, which is cool, but they don't seem to have a lot of privacy and there is no heat or a/c. I'm not sure, but I think the bathrooms are shared too. Oh, and the only showers are outside. That spells adventure to me, but not necessarily romantic getaway for our 1 year anniversary.
The B&B's are the perfect place for a romantic weekend. That's kind of the reason I'm against them. That seems to be what everybody does for their romantic getaways and so I feel the need to rebel. They're also fairly expensive at around $250/night. One day that number will be a laughable amount, but for now, that's a quarter of our student loan payment each month! Spending that much on lodging means that we won't be able to spend very much doing anything else like horseback riding, shopping or dining out.
What to do? What to do?? We need to figure it out quickly because it's Monday and our anniversary is Sunday!! Any suggestions? Let me know STAT!
