Stefan and Erika Svanstrom of Stockholm have had an eventful honeymoon. So far, they've endured a snowstorm in Munich, Germany, a cyclone that struck Cairns, Australia, the floods of Brisbane, Australia, the wildfires in Perth, Australia, the earthquake that hit Christchurch, New Zealand, and then the earthquake in Japan:
The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China.
But Mr Svanstrom – who also survived the devastating Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004 – said the marriage was still going strong.
He added: "I know marriages have to endure some trials, but I think we have been through most of them.
"We've certainly experienced more than our fair share of catastrophes, but the most important thing is that we're together and happy.

Please tell us where the Svanstroms are vacationing next, and I will avoid it at all costs.

That is Karma telling them that a one week honeymoon to a single fabulous destination is plenty. Leave a little something in the tank for the rest of your lives, will ya?

I see a lucrative future in getting paid by tourism boards not to visit certain places (or to visit competing places).

Bet they took that tour of the nitroglycerin factory off the list

Now all they have to to is successfully deal with untangling Christmas lights and missing luggage and they'll get the "We'll be Married Forever" stamp!

They had a 4-month long honeymoon? I have to agree with Miles. Unless you stay home most of that time, you are asking for trouble with 4 mos of travel across the Pacific Rim for your honeymoon.

Silly Europeans with all that traveling. If they just worked 50 weeks a year like Americans they'd be much safer.
