The trip after the wedding
Albuquerque or Carmel-by-the-Sea?
Both work for a group after the wedding. Here is what actually separates them, from our own rows rather than from a template.
The trip you take with your friends right after the wedding — instead of the honeymoon, or before it.

- The cheapest whole-group house starts at $400 a night in Albuquerque and $590 in Carmel-by-the-Sea — roughly $190 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
- Both are at their best in April, May, September, October. Carmel-by-the-Sea in June, November.
- We carry noticeably more to do in Carmel-by-the-Sea (10 things) than in Albuquerque (5), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
- Albuquerque is in NM, Carmel-by-the-Sea in CA.

One of the world's great coastal drives — stop at Bixby Creek Bridge, McWay Falls, and Pfeiffer Beach for the purple-sand moment the group will talk about for years.
