My husband and I are into vampires and love Halloween Kind of a lot. We got married the week before Halloween so we could have a close anniversary, but the dates would be separate and special. For our honeymoon we went to Romania on a tour put on by the Transylvanian Society of Dracula, of which he was a member of the Canadian chapter. We traveled the country by van with our guide (He was also the Society's president) and his assistant, who was a transplant from New York and owned the awesomely kitschy Alchemy bar in the town where Vlad the Impaler was born in which we drank test tubes of absinthe mixed with Jager. We saw places of importance to both the novel Dracula and of the real Vlad the Impaler's life. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we truly wish to return some day with our daughters. All this, and you could not usually tell by looking at us that much is out of the ordinary.
