    Hi October 2010 brides.

    We just booked our honeymoon flights last night - I was starting to worry as the prices were starting to rise, so we went ahead and booked before they got any pricier.

    We already have our accommodations booked for week two (Paris), but haven't booked them for week one yet (throughout Portugal).

    Where are you in your honeymoon planning?

    Sometimes I think we're more excited for our honeymoon than the actual wedding!

    Booked, thank goodness! It was actually booked in early June--I was getting nervous about even leaving it that late.

    How amazing--Paris and Portugal! You're going to have such an amazing time--both such romantic places.

    And ditto being more excited about the honeymoon--I can't wait to leave!

    I can totally relate about being excited more to the honeymoon.  I know I've been wedding-crazy for ages and yet I can't help but also plan for the honeymoon (most likely Singapore) which leads me to think that I might be more looking forward to it rather than the actual wedding. *grin*

    By the way, if anyone is interested in Singapore, I wrote a short review on how this country can be enjoyed by a couple in my blog http://bridesandmore.blogspot.com/.

    We booked a few months ago.  I wanted to take advantage of my frequent flyer miles and was afraid that the amount needed to get us to St. Lucia and back would rise.  All we have left to do is arrange for our shuttle between Ladera and Sandals Regency.

    I'm not an October bride, but i did just get back from our honeymoon in Portugal and just wanted to tell you, it is a wonderful country!  we were there for two and a half weeks and just had a great time and stayed at some great villas and a castle. 

    so if you have any questions or need recommendations on places in portugal, let me know!

    I booked our airfare at the end of June because I received a Southwest Voucher with an extra $120 on it.  I am waiting for the perfect hotel offer to book the hotel.  We are going to Las Vegas, which isn't really a big deal because we go every year, but I love it so much I didn't want to go anywhere else.  We are hoping to stay at Mandalay Bay, but due to price, might end up staying at Excalibur instead.

    Phew!  We just booked our flight last night!  We're going on a cruise out of Fort Lauderdale, so it wasn't super important but I really wanted to be on the only direct flight and the prices hadn't changed in forever so we went ahead and booked it.

    So...ladies tell me the groom normally deals with the honeymoon.  Did any of you let your Groom deal with that?  Did you go along with it?  I couldn't...too much of a control freak.  If I left it up to him, we'd be driving to the mountains or something last minute b/c he would have put everything off till the very last minute Mr. Procrastination!!!!  LOL!

    @jillocb: my FI took care of the whole honeymoon because I did NOT want another thing to plan, lol. I'm actually very proud of myself that I let him handle it (besides some nagging emails, lol) because I am usually super Type A and controlling. BUt it was nice not to worry about it--although he didn't book it til June; if it had been me, I would have booked it in like January! But it's all taken care of, which is what matters.

    @ladyb072010: My MOH is flying in from Singapore for the wedding. I've never been there before though, loved to go!

    My honeymoon is booked, and it'll be paid off next month. (Well, er, charged to a credit card!) We still need to work on a rental car though. We're not doing anything too exotic. Driving to Florida, but I've never been there, so I'm happy!

    We booked ours back in February! We're going to St. Lucia and I'm glad we booked then... our flight times aren't available and so much more expensive now!

    Can NOT wait for the honeymoon :)

    @hergreenapples:  we stayed in Lisbon, Porto, Obidos, Peniche, a country villa by Amarante and another villa by Mafra called Aldeia de mata Pequena.  We had a car so we visited Sintra and Regua also.

    Let me know if you want more details.  We absolutely loved Portugal and all the places we stayed at! :-)

    @ladyb072010:@October4040: I was in Singapore just over a year ago. It's truly an AMAZING country! Although, as for a honeymoon destination, I'd prefer to spend more time on Sentosa Island. :-) 

    I've traveled a lot, and FI hasn't barely at all. We're doing a beach honeymoon to Cancun where we were gifted a Timeshare week. We booked it a few weeks ago... AirTran was having an AWESOME sale and we got our flights out of VA to Cancun for under $700rt for the two of us!

    We decided that something "away from it all" that would force us to enjoy and relax would be better then going somewhere where I would want to sight see or show everything to FI.

    FI just booked our honeymoon last week for this Halloween - November 6th!  I can't believe he took this long but I'm so relieved it's done.  We're headed to Ocho Rios, Jamaica to Couples San Souci.  And I can't wait to have a very relaxing honeymoon.

    LOL, this is making me feel normal.  Some brides get the label "bridezilla"...I ended up with "Honeymoonzilla".  I.  Cannot.  Wait.  To.  Leave.  We're going on a cruise, which neither of us has ever done before, to tour the ancient sites in southern Europe and also Egypt.  Rome, Athens, Ephesus, Cairo....sigh.  Honeymoon, I love you.  Will you marry me?
