Gotta love the South of France, however, we've always gone late May-June.

 

Honestly, the south of France can have the occasional decent day late in the year, but it's a serious hit and miss - 50 degrees and rain there in November, like it always is, feels like minus a hundred and fifty because of the ocean. I sure wouldn't dare plan a honeymoon around it. Unless I was marrying Lindsey Vonn, in which case we wouldn't leave the room anyway so it wouldn't matter. Haven't been to Thailand but I imagine it being a lot better - that's exactly where Europeans themselves go to around that time.

 

November in Europe you say? Hmmmm....what about Switzerland/Germany/Austria???

 

Doing a skiing honeymoon could of course be an option but then I would replace Germany with France. Also there's no guarantee there will be sufficient snow for good skiing that time of year yet. Thinking about it, november might actually be the worst month of the year for Europe regardless of where lol. October would be the second worst.

 

Ha, yep. Sad but true. Most resorts don't open until early December either, unless you go to one of the glaciers, Hintertux etc .... but all those places suck as far as skiing is concerned.

AG, any chance you could post pone the wedding?

 

Wasnt really suggesting Skiing --- Germany and Switzerland and Austria were all nice when i was there last November. Chilly some days but plesant the rest. Just need a jacket and you are all set. nice to see the leaves changing and be able to walk all around the towns without being super hot and crowded.

that being said - i cant wait to get back to Dusseldorf in the summer --- i bet that place rocks in June/July/August!!!

 

At first I thought you were confusing Switzerland with some other country but the only other country Americans usually confuse with Switzerland is Sweden and that makes even less sense.
Central Europe during november not being super hot is like saying Greece is not super rich or SAAB not being a super successful company

 

go to bali or some place like that... and come to europe summer of 2012... best choice...

 

LOL.... .....who you callin 'MERICAN?

What i meant was - in the right places (not higher elevations) those places in November are quite nice. I would know - i was just there in all three of those countries for 3 weeks and experienced mostly mild weather. Of course its all relative though. Cold to me is snow/hat/scarf/etc....but to you, maybe cold is when your sweedish fish dont all stick together in the pack!!
