Photo courtesy of farbfilm Zen Habits on Honeymoon - Plans for the Next Couple Weeks
Hi guys … as I mentioned before, I’m getting married in a couple of days, and then immediately leaving for my honeymoon in Thailand. I’m really looking forward to it, but I’m sad to say that I’ll be away from Zen Habits for a couple weeks (actually until after the first week of July).
However, I’m not leaving my faithful readers in the cold. Zen Habits will still be running, but writing from me will be a little less frequent — I’m going to ask for your help, the help of other bloggers, and your patience during my absence. I’ve got some good guest posts lined up, and have prepared some posts of my own.
The Zen Habits Honeymoon Schedule
Starting next week, Zen Habits will be running the following:
- Original posts from me that I’ve prepared.
- Guest posts from other bloggers.
- Roundups of some of my best posts from the pasts, similar to my recent simplicity roundup.
- Ask the Readers questions, where you guys will help me by providing the content. I’ve done Ask the Readers features in the past, and they’ve turned into some of the best posts on this site.
Comments will be in good hands
While these posts are being published, I won’t be around to respond to any comments (though I will do my best to catch up and read them later). I’m not bringing a laptop and will try to avoid Internet cafes.
However, my blogging friend and assistant, Stephen Smith, will be helping me out by responding to comments as needed. Just think of him as a surrogate Leo — he’ll be keeping me apprised of things, and if there’s anything urgent that needs my attention, he’ll wake me from my rum-induced stupor in my Thai bungalow.
Please, please treat Stephen kindly as he handles things around here — it would be most appreciated.
And most of all, remember that I am grateful to all of you for your readership, your participation in the Zen Habits community, and your encouragement in the 18 months of Zen Habits’ existence. I love you all!

At last, a little time for yourself and your wife alone together! Enjoy your much deserved rest, pamper yourselves, and stop worrying about us! I’m sure we’ll all still be here when you get back. : )

How good are honey moons, enjoy yourself that is awesome…have lots of you know what *hehe*
We will keep reading when you come back
It’s cool how you can automatically set up posts to run during your absence, I do this on my financial blog so that I make sure my blog gets updated at least 4 times everyweek.
Enjoy your honeymoon

My advice to you, if any, is not to worry about ZenHabits for next two weeks(It’s hard as you have a huge extended family now). Everyone will behave!

Many congratulations and thanks for so many great posts and the inspiration they bring. Passionate, dedicated writers are too rare, and you deserve a break after pouring your heart and sweat into Zen Habits week in and out. Enjoy the honeymoon and once again, congrats!

Leo,
Getting married is a fantastic thing. I enjoyed my wedding day very much, although I would have enjoyed it more had I not been so nervous about giving a speech.
Wearing a wedding ring is all the more special to me, as it’s the only piece of jewellery I own.
See you soon Leo.
All the best. Dave.
Els Says:

You being away for a couple of weeks will give me time to explore your wonderful blog that I have discovered only two weeks ago. It has been extremely inspiring so far. Thank you for this.
Have a wonderful time in Thailand! You both deserve it.

Enjoy your honeymoon. When my wife and I got married in Jamaica my old boss wanted me to bring my laptop and work. I am glad that I told him I didn’t have internet access ;). Have fun and relax, It’s important.

Best wishes on a wonderful wedding and an adventurous honeymoon!
Wedding night? After being together so long, I would go for truly memorable — funny, romantic, outrageous, endearing — anything that will keep you feeling the night’s after-effects for many years.

What I coincidence. I’m also getting married in three days. No honeymoon for us this year.
Anyway, congratulations and spend a happy honeymoon. If you happen to pass by Koh Samui, you must visit Sazen Boutique & Spa. Lovely place with a very good restaurant. A little piece of heaven on Earth.

Great idea in avoiding the internet and blogging during your honeymoon. It’s great that you love your readers, but most importantly it’s even greater that you love the person who fills your soul.

Wish you a great honeymoon, also I like keep reading your blog.
Too bad you didn’t come to Tahiti for your honeymoon vacation, as I see Thailand have white sandy beaches as we do.

I LIVE IN THAILAND! If you’re coming anywhere near Krabi, Thailand - in the south let me know. There are a couple places that you’ve gotta see and I’ll give you the details. Otherwise, have a great time - get away from the cities and tourist attractions and see some of the REAL Thailand if you get a chance. Again, I can help in that regard… CONGRATULATIONS!
kyle Says:
