Just came across this amusing little snippet from the Maldives Tourist Board...
"The Maldives is offering the ultimate babymoon package, ensuring mums-to-be and their other halves can put their feet up before the pitter-patter of tinier ones appear!"
Stable doors and horses spring to mind...
I did that once in the Canary islands. Distinct lack of Canaries, but that's another story.
If in 1969 you went on holiday to avoid the coverage of the moon landings, would it have been a moon-moon?
AAANd more controversially, shouldn't Moon have a capital Moo?
@Mr Target
so adding "~moon" to a word means an expensive holiday linked to the named life event???
Seems that way. So just before you die you could go on a Croak Moon (note Nick's capital M)
And how about Bar Mitzvah Moon?
Honeymoon was so called because it was traditional to feed the bride Mead for the first cycle of the moon(and thus her full cycle)so she would basically be pissed and available for a month which would include her fertile period.
As for the Canaries. Names after Canis as in the "dog islands". The birds were named after the islands, but you knew that didn't you?
Anything else you want to know? I have been watching a lot of QI.

Thanks for the explanation beau. That makes a babymoon even more weird...
