Honeymoon

My fiance planned our honeymoon entirely as a surprise. We decided to play 20 questions, one question a day, for me to guess the location. What was fascinating was to learn that we have completely different styles in how we would approach a 20 questions game, so it was pretty entertaining.




Question 1: Will we focus on rest and relaxation on our honeymoon? Yes






Question 2: Is it north of the equator? Yes






Question 3: Is it on the African Continent? No






Question 4: Is the location an island? Yes






List of possible islands in the Atlantic Ocean





Question 5: Would the beaches on the island be considered white sand beaches? In other words, is this the carribean? Yes



List of possible islands in the Caribbean



Question 6: Do they speak English? Yes





Question 7: Is the island known for piracy? Maybe

































Question 8: Is this island in the beach boys song Kokomo? No













If you are keeping track, this has eliminated: Bermuda, Bahama, Kokomo, Aruba, Jamaica, Key Largo, Montego, Martinique, Montserrat, Port-au-Prince Haiti




Question 9: Is the island in the area known as the Greater Antilles? No






We have now eliminated Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico





Question 10: Is it one of the Windward Islands (on the Lesser Antilles)? Yes









We have narrowed it down to Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago





Question 11: Is this island known for being a leading producer of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg? No






In case you couldn't tell, we just eliminated Grenada. We are down to: Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago





Question 12: Is this island the home of two Nobel Laureates Arthur Lewis and Derek Walcott? No






We just eliminated Saint Lucia. Remaining contenders: Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago





Question 13: Is this island geologically predominately non-volcanic origin? No





We just eliminated Barbados. Remaining contenders: Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago




Question 14: Is the head of state Queen Elizabeth II? No




We just eliminated Saint Vincent and Grenadines.



Drumroll: The location is specifically the Tobago island of Trinidad and Tobago

sounds like you have too much time on your hands. i hope you didn't come up with these questions off the top of your head. Because if you did you should be on jeopardy or something. And did Tim really know the answers? Amazing. But it does sound like a lot of fun! -Meredith
