I don't think you have to be to worried!
These tropical places have AC inside and when your outside you are very close to water for him to go for a quick dip to cool off!
I think if he is down for the tropical place - he knows it will be hot! And I think it is different lounging in the heat on holiday vs. working and running errands in the humid heat in the summer in ND!
But if you are really worried - talk to him! Ask him if the heat will be a problem!
Enjoy your honeymoon!
I suppose you're right - it IS different when you're reading by the pool/ocean, rather than mowing the lawn or going to the grocery store. hehe.
I think I am mainly worried about AC inside the hotel/resort - would definitely need one that has it. Neither of us sleeps well when the air is hot/humid. I see these pictures of people's open air rooms with grass roofs, etc.. and I think "we could not do that."
I had to talk DH into a vacation in the caribbean. He has NEVER been on vacation before and doesn't see "the point" in them b/c he never had vacations growing up. The idea of being in a hot, tropical climate and being "bored" all day didn't appeal to him.
I made him go anyways, promised lots of sex (lol. i had to keep reminding him it was our HM!) and he had a good time.We relaxed, read, etc. I think I asked him, "see isn't this great? i TOLD you it'd be awesome!" like 8 times a day the first half of the week.
It's hot in the caribbean, but three is the POOL! Lots of shade! We sat in the pool a lot in the shade sipping frozen beverages. Does he like the nonalcoholic kind? My mom doesn't drink at ALL and enjoys lots of frozen virgin concoctions.
What time of year are you looking at going? July-Aug are definitely THE hottest. You could just pick a slightly milder time of year.
BF is not a heat-seeking person, except for when he is cold and I am warm.
He's definitely of the "bah, it is hot out, I'm staying in" sort, while I take to going outside when it is toasty.
He wants to go to Aruba if/when there is wedding, so we'll see how that goes. We took a trip to SC last summer, and I got annoyed because everyone (BF, FS/MIL) was complaining about how hot and humid it was, and they wanted to stay inside. I thought it was pretty darn nice out, and wanted to go exploring. Then again, I think they were grumpy that I wasn't all that excited about the beach.
omg we had ac, lol. in fact the lobbies are 'open style' and all still had AC in the DR, too.
you NEED ac! Otherwise you would never cool off, lol
@surkim it sounds like you and I should take a honeymoon together. The guys can stay in where it's not as hot. hehe.
@ejs4y8 - Sadly, wherever we go it will be July probably, because of school and work schedules. I really can't travel in mid august (busy time at work), and school starts in late august. We also take summer classes, which start in May with only a 3 day break between semesters, ugh, but usually those wrap up by end of June.
Well, July is hot, no lie. But you eat inside, you can go take breaks inside (we did) and you sit in the loungechairs with the umbrellas and drag them intot he shade.
Honestly, It wasn't "hot" in the shade. It was pleasant and VERY breezy. 85, 90` is very different with an ocean breeze coming off it.
Few things. First of all, I HATE the heat. I hate sweating, I hate being outside in summer (blasphemy, I know), I'm just a brat about it. But-- I love beach vacations! For some reason, sweating in a bathing suit is just better. Plus, if you can find shade and a cold drink it really doesn't bother me at all. I laid out for hours by the pool in vegas when it was 108 (under shade of course), and in Mexico. Just make sure you find somewhere that has free shade (i.e. not a place that makes you pay for palapas).
Also.. I was a little worried about my FI's and my vacation to an all inclusive in mexico this past October (Dreams Puerto Vallarta). It wasn't a honeymoon but it was very honeymoon-esc. I was worried that he'd hate having to wear sunscreen all the time, that he'd be bored at the beach, and bc he doesn't drink at all. He didn't hate it at all! He was a *little* bored with all of the relaxing because he said being non-productive for a week is stressful to him (weirdo), but the heat and drinking didn't bug him at all. I made an effort to not drink too much so he wouldn't be lonely sober... and we had a great time in the sun.
Yeah - my FI sounds a lot like yours. But - we've now been to Hawaii twice (yay for Bar trips!) and both times worked out pretty well. Our big compromise that we had to make was if we were going to be at the beach or poolside we had to find shade for him and sun for me. It actually ended up working out pretty well. And our rooms definitely had AC (FI really can't sleep when it's too hot, so we may or may not have had the AC blasting several nights :) ). Now we're hoping to make it to the Caribbean for our honeymoon, but we haven't decided yet.

I would love to go somewhere tropical for our honeymoon. We live in the dead center/top of the US, and it's goddamn cold here for 6+ months out of the year. Additionally, as you know Mr. Mary Jane and I are both students, and we both work full time also. SO...I think it would be really great an a HUGE change of scenary to go somewhere tropical and just chill out on beaches.
Mr. Mary Jane is on board with that... he has mentioned the Caribbean and there have been talks of Mexico or even just Hawaii...
But I wonder.
He also is often pretty vocal about the heat in the spring and summer. He really does not like heat. He lives in the air conditioning, and has difficulty with temperatures over the mid-70s (they make him uncomfortable and hence, probably a little crabby
).
Me, on the other hand, I juuuust start to get comfy when the temps hit the low 70s. I think I have my office at work set to 75 all winter, and I also don't have an airconditioner in it for summer.
On another related topic, he's not a drinker. One of the main points many honeymooners are looking for is freely flowing drinks... Mr. Mary Jane would prefer rootbeer thankyouverymuch.
Anyway, I know he's on board for a tropical trip, as we both would love to do something we otherwise would probably not do. Other ideas we had for a honeymoon include visiting US cities we've never been to, etc... but I almost feel like we could do that 'any time'.
Anyone else have reservations about whether or not their preferred honeymoon location is something they'll both really enjoy? Obviously each party has to speak up about what they want, but yeah. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Not really a disagreement, just a vague indecision...
Another thing we'd discussed is a cruise, but I'm a little worried I'll get boat-sick. [Generally, I get _____-sick on anything that moves in any way.]
