Soon after we embarked on our yearlong honeymoon, we started getting questions from our friends, relatives and even some strangers (ok, my mom's coworkers who were pushed to read this blog, but anyway). Do you think they wanted to know how we were doing, how we felt about Latin America or what our favourite things were? Yeah, right. They were all interested in one thing only. MONEY.
