My Jordanian Honeymoon

Dufda and I got married in October, then again in Decemeber.  In all of that confusion and haste we were unable to take a honeymoon.  We knew that we wanted to go to Jordan though.  Dufda hadn't seen his family in years, and I, now being their daughter in law, still had not met them.  So that was the plan, we were going to have a Jordanian honeymoon! 

June 8th, 2012 was take off.  There was much planning involved:  How am I going to fit clothes for 15 days in three suitcases (I didn't wear half those clothes), How am I going to learn to Arabic in one week (here's a hint: I didn't), and How are we going to survive a 13 hour lay over in JFK (we almost didn't).  This was also the month that we were going to join the crowds of newlyweds trying to conceive, which is this process learned it is just TTC.

We arrived in Jordan the night of the 9th.  The time change was rough, but we were greeted by a huge meal prepared for my Dufda's mom, my MIL.  This seemed to be the theme everywhere we went, no matter the hour, there was food, and of course tea......lots of tea.  We stayed in Dufda's childhood home.  Flashback to when I first met Dufda, I thought he would have lived in something like this:
Well I was so wrong, try this:


Anyway, we are staying at his parents lovely home and we are TTC, cue Jordanian Excursion.  We took a trip around all the sites in Jordan.  Our stops included, the Aljoun Castle, Jerash, Amman, Petra, Aqaba, Dead Sea, and Mount Nebo.  Here are some of the highlights:
