They are volcanic islands, and similar to Hawaii, but not tropical.  We owe our inspiration to go to Azores entirely to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelchannel.com\/TV_Shows\/Anthony_Bourdain\">Anthony Bourdain<\/a> because he went to the Azores on one of his shows.  Spain had already been a consideration, so it seemed easy to throw the two destinations together.  <\/p>\n<p>When we were looking for a honeymoon destination, we were looking for something that was off-the-beaten path.  But, at the same time, we didn&#8217;t want to deal with the hassles of something like third-world travel on our honeymoon.  So, when we saw Anthony Bourdain&#8217;s show on the Azores, we knew that was the perfect spot.  I mean, most people in America don&#8217;t even know where that is.  So, it must be just what we&#8217;re looking for \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>We have promised ourselves not to spend much time on the Internet while we are on our honeymoon.  But, I can promise a couple of updates along the way.
