Our honeymoon was 11 days, and it was incredible. It was good to get home though after that long, but now I can't wait to go back for 7 days for our anniversary!
2 weeks... whoa. I could never vacation for that long. If you did do 2 weeks, you would be on the phone with your daughter for hours on end... because you miss her so much.
Believe it or not, I think that after 1 week I would actually start missing my job.
Ours will be 6 days. We did a 8 day vacation to Punta Cana in December and that was waaaayyy too long. We spent an entire day in our suite watching football.
We went for 12 days, plus 2 half days of travel so ~13 days. It was nice to have time to actually unpack our suitcases for the week and relax, but we were happy to get back home towards the end. (Not ready to leave paradise, but tired of travelng lol)
ours was 7 days - but is there such thing as too long?! i would have liked to go for longer
10 days. It was great to relax for that long, but in terms of a vacation/hm in a single location, it was a little too long for me. I like to be on the move when I travel.
Just traveling in general, I don't like to be gone too long. 4-5 days on average. Anything longer than that and I just want to get home. I really appreciate the conveniences of my home. So, we honeymooned for 4 days. It was perfect. It gave us time to come home, relax and get settled in before we had to go back to work. I like to be able to do that after every trip I take.
We're going for 2.5 weeks. Plus our wedding is a destination wedding so we'll be gone for an extra week before that. In terms of what's "too long" that's very individual. Since you have a child leaving for almost a month probably isn't an option. However, she is old enough that you don't really have to worry too much. So I say take your two weeks, you deserve it!
13 days for us!!! I went to the Bahamas for 8 days (had been there 3 times before) so that was a bit too long..... but I think that because we are doing one week in cancun and the next week at disneyworld....13 days will be just fine....
Good Luck!!
IT really depends on what you have planned to do on your honeymoon. If there willbe lots of activities and interesting things to do then it could be as long as 2 weeks, but if its mostly sitting on the beach everyday after about a week you would get abit antsy to do something else
We're thinking about going for 10 days... But I am worried that it might too long?? FI is content with sitting on the beach for the rest of his life, but I get really antsy without anything to do!!
I would say go as long as you like. I generally would say no longer than a week for me (factoringin travel time as well) because I have a daughter and my FI has a son and we would not want to be away too long from either one of them.
Why would you be fighting with him over petty things on a trip longer than 6 days??
I really love 2 week long trips - we just did 2 weeks in Iceland and I wish it had been a little longer, actually! We are getting ready to backpack through Asia for 6 months, though, so I guess I'm not the norm!
@crayfish: I was thinking the same thing.
Our HM is 7 days. Originally we were going to book a 5 day cruise but we felt that was too short so we opted for a 7 day instead. For us, I think 7 days will be perfect. We have a kitty at home who we love to pieces so it will be hard enough being away from him for a week.
We were gone a month--traveling about New Zealand.
DH was ready to go home at the end, but I certainly wasn't! It was so so rad, albeit long. I think it depends where you're going/what you're doing--like I said we traveled a lot so we stayed at each place no more then 4/5 days at a time.
@Kamazing: Another idea my FI and I had was to do a Honeymoon for ourselves for a week and maybe a Familymoon (since we have the kids) for a few days so they dont feel left out and we do a family trip as well
We are doing a short "Familymoon" for two days after the wedding locally... Our budget is super tight, so this will be a fun and cost effective way to spend time with family and have some fun. We are thinking about a longer Honeymoon during the summer... Iw ould love to visit Puerto Rico
I just got back from 18 days in Thailand, and I wish I had longer. We were in 3 different locations and 4 different incredible hotels. I could have kept doing it for longer, it was amazing. I think it really depends on where you go and what there is to do there.
Ours was 7 days. I dream of a 2 week vacation, but I don't know if I could handle that. Maybe one week of pure relaxation/laziness and then a week of touring/adventure. I'm definitely willing to try a longer vacay though!
20 days in the Caribbean and we never wanted to have to come home!
But I can understand you not wanting to be away from your daughter for too long. Could you do one week with just you and your guy and then a second fun trip including your daughter?
We are doing 6 days and 5 nights.
We also have 2 children that will be staying with family while we are gone so for me that was the longest I was willing to go.
And, why after just a couple week vaca would you be fighting?
We are seasoned travelers so any vacation is AMAZING.. Any time I can spend doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, laid out on a beach, drinking for free, I could care less how long I am there, haha.
We are staying for a week after the wedding and our 2 kids will be back home with my parents.
We are going 6 days and 5 nights without the kiddies for our honeymoon. I wanted longer but did not want to use all my vacation days because we still have a family vacation to plan for with the kids.
My longest vacation was an 8 day cruise and I think that's a good length of time for a honeymoon. I'd do it again if I wouldn't have a baby at the time. LOL I'd probably go even longer. Nothing is too long to me.
@MsMamaBear: I agree, nothing is too long for me either! I love traveling & so does FI.
Our HM will be about 2 weeks long... I think if we were only staying in one place/city that 2 weeks might be too long, but we're going on a cruise for one week, so we'll get to see a lot of places.
our honeymoon will about 14 days long. i love traveling and though i've not traveled for more than 2 weeks, that is my sweet spot i think! less than two weeks always leaves me wishing for just a few more days, and i would think more than 2 weeks, i'd be broke and grumpy from sleeping in a different bed, eating out all the time, and eventually, bored. at the end of two weeks i always feel ready to come home! but a week is always never enough for me but that's usually the longest vacation either of us can take.
we are also thinking about 10 days. we have thought about 2 weeks, but think we can't go for that long, but felt like a week would be too short because we'd be counting down the days(i know that sounds weird, but thats what i do on all vacations-wish i could change that)but have never gone for over a week so hoping that will help.
ours is 6 nights/7 days in disney, plus a day each way for travel because we are driving from mass. so thats a 24 hour drive. i think anything longer than 2 weeks would be too much for me
We will be going to either Hawaii, Mexico or Jamaica for either 4-5 nights. It depends on where you are going to decide on how long you want to stay. Say you are going to Europe/The Med then you would want a 7or more nights. For a cruise i would say the same 7+days. but for anywhere in the US or Mexico, probably a shorter trip but a little longer for the Caribbean, like 6 nights. If you have stuff planned for your trip for everyday or so, then you could last for longer, but you just get bored in some locations because of the lack of things to do. Yes you could go to the beach or pool everyday and sit in the sun, and some people like to do that, but for us it gets boring after the first 2-3 days.
Ours will be 6-7 days. Leaving on Sunday coming back Friday/Saturday. The location is top secret, but I WILL say it's within the continental US ;)
Take as much time as you want and can afford! Your daughter is old enough so that she should be fine staying with family/friends. No need for things like schedule feedings and diaper changes.
My honeymoon is one week Sunday to Sunday. My fiance as blessed to have the entire month of the wedding off so he has a week before the wedding to relax (he works sometimes 80hours a week), wedding, then honeymoon and a recovery time before going back to work.
I also agree with @HeatherShane. If you want to plan some things, I highly suggst something for almost everyday with some down time in between. You don't want it to be too packed with activities but youb want enough to do so y'all don't get bored.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
How many days will your Honeymoon be? How long is too long? LOL At first I was thinking 2 weeks then I figured a week should be enough. Now Im thinking 6 days 5 nights. I just dont want to be away for too long then end up fighting with him over petty things. I also have a 10 year old (she'll be 12 by then) daughter that will be staying with relatives while Im away. But
