Well that was fast…after the post we got bad news…apparently, our planned honeymoon falls right in line with black fly season in Maine. To be honest, we’ve heard its a crap-shoot…and all depends on weather, but if the temp gets higher than 50-55 degrees, larvae hatch and flies are hungry. I’ve never heard of, or encountered the little guys, but the moment I told Justin…he said “no way, those things are miserable.” Needless to say…we’re rethinking the trip.
So, now, we are looking into two new options:
Sedona, AZ
and Jackson Hole, WY
Both lovely options (though I’ll admit I have a favorite), giving us both the outdoor adventures we love, along with offerings of good food and wine. The idea of some spa time doesn’t hurt either 🙂
So, back to the research, I’ll keep you posted! If anyone has insight.We’re all ears!

Been to both and enjoyed both. For the time of year and the available options, Sedona may give you more of what you are looking for.
