Gesture & etiquette
Sit at the same eye level, hands relaxed in your lap, and nod warmly as they recall the trip. If they pause, do not rush to fill the silence—they may be picturing the scenery.
「どちら」 (instead of 「どこ」) is a polite locative pronoun, essential when speaking to seniors. Honeymoon destinations evoke strong positive emotion; ask gently and let them describe details at their own pace.
