"This is great."

"I told ya!"

"I can't believe we didn't do this years ago."

"Yes, well, let's not dwell."

"Didn't that tape say there were no fish in your pond?"

"Close enough."

"Do you have any places in mind for the honeymoon, Jack?"

"There's that one planet where the beaches go on for miles."

"Remember, it's was settled by some of the plant workers four years ago."

"There's enough beach space. If you're worried about your fair skin, I promise to spend hours making certain that you sunscreen has been properly applied."

"We'll be greeted at the gate as Jonah and Terra. I really don't want the reminder of four lost years."

"Fine. What planet do you suggest?"

"I'm not sure about the whole off-world honeymoon idea. Most of the friendly planets do not have indoor plumbing. I'm an outdoor girl when on a mission, but this is a honeymoon, not a mission. If we go to one of the civilized planets, we'll get drawn into the local politics. They are all falling over each other to side themselves with the defeaters of Anbuis and the replicators. Most of them are a little worried about the Free Jaffa Nation."

"So they would bug us because we're friends with Teal'c. I hate politics. Good thing I'm transferring to DC. So you really think there isn't a single off-world getaway for us, Sam?"

"To be honest, I have this feeling that going off-world for our honeymoon is just asking for Ba'al to rediscover the planet and attack."

"So where on Earth to want to go? We could just come back to the cabin."

"No. Don't get me wrong. I love it here. However, this is going to be a regular vacation spot. Our honeymoon should be someplace special."

"No regular spots. Got it. That rules out your lab, too. I know it's your favorite place, but we're not staying there for our honeymoon."

"Of course not, Jack. However if you want to disable the security cameras sometime, we could spend a little time there. I've had this fantasy-"

"We've both had that fantasy. So are beaches out, or are just beach planets out?"

"Some place with a beach and indoor plumbing would be great. If we are on an ocean, we could go deep sea fishing one day."

"Nah. Too much work. I prefer quiet fishing. Also, I doubt that I'll want to spend the greater part of a day that far from our bedroom."

"Good point. So we've decided we want a beach, indoor plumbing, a very comfortable bed, and room service so we don't have to go out much."

"That gives us several dozen choices."

"I'll narrow it down on my laptop tonight."

"Ok. As long as you don't spend too much time on that laptop. I might get jealous."

"No matter where it is, plan on packing light. I don't expect either of us to wear many clothes."

"Yeah, about that. What's with the large suitcase you brought here?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm going to need more clothing this trip because the guys are here. Most of the suitcase is stuff I plan on leaving here for our next visit. That way, I don't have to pack anything the next time a ZPM shows up right before we are supposed to leave."

"Don't you have enough toys, Sam?"

"Never."
