It is ridiculous to suggest you need to have a big wad of money to "babymoon" -- whatever happened to going on a vacation on the cheap while still having a great time? The level of fun and relaxation isn't necessarily equal to the amount of money spent. A couple can "babymoon" on their own without going through a travel agent or some other booker. I wish sometimes the travel section would recognize cheaper travel trips that can be just as fun. Every year my fiancee and I go on weeklong trips somewhere for very reasonable prices because we don't insist on staying at the Hilton (and being pampered there) or eating an expensive dinner every night. And I know this will continue after we are married and have kids because things just don't get cheaper then. Get a grip on your wallets, people!

Pretty cool. My coworker just had his first baby and he's going on 2 weeks without sleep. hehe. It's going to be a couple of years until him and his wife can really take off for a relaxing vacation.

No kidding. My nomination for annoying term used this year: Staycation. Staying home instead of going someplace during your vacation. Call it what it is - too dang broke to buy gas or airlines tickets outta here. Going to stay home and sleep and do yard work.

Yup, enjoy it now, because your life is over once that baby comes. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Yeah, really. Instead of giving it a stupid made up name, why not call it what it is - a requiem for your sanity and sex life.

anything with gate added makes me cringe. if a new scandal occurs at the watergate they'll have to call it watergate-gate.
