We are staying at the Moon Palace Casino, Golf and spa all inclusive in Punta Cana, DR. How about you?
<h3></h3>
Oh we were in Punta Cana! Words of advice: when we were there, everybody and their mom got food poisoning. Watch your eggs. be sure they cook them 100% b/c they have a tendency to undercook. soembody just told me that overseas they use raw egg in their caesar dressing. stay away. DO NOT brush your teeth with the water, they say you can, but don't. just use bottled, you get plenty of it anyways.
Just some advice. seriously, everybody has gotten sick and this is the "compiled list" of what not to do thus far.
And don't bring the Mama Juana home. It looks like wood chips in a bottle, then they make it like lemoncello over a month. They will confiscate it at the airport.
bring some bug spray. the sand fleas are fierce over there. we went to target and got aluminum water bottles that had straws. the bartenders happilly filled them up with margaritas and pina coladas for us, then we had icy cool beverages for much much longer than anybody else!
We are torn between two very different locations... he first found this amazing hideaway resort in Costa Rica, and I was ready to go swimsuit shopping. Then, on his way to Afghanistan, his unit stopped in Ireland (we're both of Irish descent). Now we're thinking of going there! Either would be perfect. We agreed that wherever we don't honeymoon, we'll go on an anniversary trip in a few years.
We're going to Vegas, baby, and staying at the Mandalay Bay hotel. 9 more days, I can't wait!!
10 days in Dominica--the Nature Island of the Carribean. Lots of beautiful waterfalls, hiking, and eco-friendly places to stay.
We're doing a grown up backpacking trip through Italy and Switzerland, with a hop over to Tangiers Morocco (one of my favorite places)
We aren't sure if we're going to be able to afford it yet, but our dream is to do a back-to-back cruise! We'd like to do one week by ourselves, then have my sister and her family join us for the second week - it would be a ton of fun, and we're hoping to eventually start a tradition of yearly cruises with my sister's family, and what could be a better way to start that off?!
We're going to Hawaii! We have a looong list of places we want to travel to, but none of them seemed all that ideal for a July honeymoon.
We are getting married in October, so we are renting a cabin right outside of Smokey Mountain National Park in Tennessee-at the height of leaf changes, it will be glorious to enjoy the mountains during high season! I'm so looking forward to our very secluded cabin with very private hot tub with a roaring fire, a glass of wine and a view over the mountains! Oh...let's not forget smooching with my new hubby in that steamy hot tub!
Cape Cod, we're renting a little house and just relaxing, can't wait!
We are spending 4 days in Lenox, Massachusetts (peak of leaf season apparently??) and then 4 days in Cape Cod. We are both land locked midwesterners, so we are REALLY looking forward to some R&R in new england!
We're splitting our honeymoon into 2 parts. Part 1 was a mini-moon in Jackson Hole after the wedding. We spent a week there, hiking through Yellowstone, biking, eating everything we wanted and just relaxing. Part 2 is a ten-day trip to Belize over the holidays to snorkel, hike, fish and sun-bathe. Can't wait!
we're splitting our honeymoon in 2 parts too! We're doing a week all inclusive in Zihuatanejo, Mexico (thank you FILs!) a week after the wedding, then a week in Jamaica in June.
We're going to fish and snorkel and boat and TAN and relax! Cant wait!
We are thinking about Secrests Maroma Beach...or Paris. Big difference. Somehow a beach destination seems more fitting because we'll get to relax completely, snorkel, scuba, kayak etc. but Paris seems sooo romantic.
We don't know yet! And we're SIX WEEKS out...
At first we were Carribbean all the way - beaches, sexy swimwear, tropical drinks with umbrellas, bring it on! Then we decided that maybe a honeymoon was really too much on top of a wedding that we're footing the bill for.
Now, we're back to taking a short honeymoon (like just 4 nights) and we're torn between FL, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas. We have to stay inside US properties since we didn't get our passports months ago when we were thinking of doing this in the first place...
We HAVE to decide this week!
We JUST booked our flights to South Africa! We bought our world cup tickets in February and have been booking things like our hotel and safari since, it feels great to FINALLY have our airline tickets in hand :)
We went to the Adventura Spa Palace south of Cancun - they kept talking about the new DR resort. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Spa Palace. If you can - get conceirge level! It's so worth the money.
we're doing something somewhat different... we've chosen NYC as our honeymoon location :)
we are doing something in italy...just not sure where. we're getting married on a saturday at an old castle an hour north of rome, hanging out on sunday with the family, then taking off on the honeymoon. it is part of his parents' gift to us and they are surprising me (he already knows but won't tell)...all i know is there will be a beach involved! i'm super excited about it because his parents know how to travel in style and i'm hoping they are doing the same for us!!!!
I'm getting all excited reading about where everyone's going! We're going to the North Shore (lake superior/duluth area of MN) first, and when we can afford it someday, Hawaii!
We're going to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and staying in a totally secluded cabin. It has a heart shaped bathtub under a skylight. And a jacuzzi on the back deck. It also has a pool table, jukebox, and a loft. I cannot wait!
We're going to Mexico and staying at the all inclusive Excellence Playa Mujeres.
I'm ridiculously excited about our honeymoon. We are spending two fabulous weeks in Paris! We've had our hotel and plane tickets for almost a year now. I have been working really hard on my French, and can't stop daydreaming about being in Paris. Sometimes I feel super guilty that we are being so extravagant during the recession. We are having a tiny wedding, and our honeymoon is going to cost more than the wedding. I keep telling myself that this is something we have dreamed about doing together since we met, and that it will truly be priceless. Is anyone else feeling a little guilty/unsure about spending tons on a honeymoon in this economic climate?
We are going to Ireland. Neither of us are big beach people. We are going to spend 8 nights there and spend each night in a different B&B and one night in a castle. I can't wait, it is going to be awesome.
were 100% decided on our honeymoon (which is almost a year after our wedding) that were going on a 12 day mediterrenean cruise! mmm Italy, Greece, Turkey etc! I am soooo excited!
^ I know someone who just did that 12 day Mediterranean cruise and they absolutely LOVED it!
The Tamarijn in Aruba!!!! 8 days 7 nights all inclusive.. I can't wait!
Going to take three weeks off to go to Fiji and Australia (Sydney and Port Douglas)! SCUBA diving, hiking through rainforests and a whole bunch of relaxing and eating and drinking! We can't wait!!!!!!
Hopefully Costa Rica although nothing is booked yet! It's the perfect balance of beach and adventure for us!
OttawaBride: NYC in the spring is great! It's not the height of tourist season and in May, people are already starting to go down the shore/Hamptons, so it's a lot less crowded. You'll love it.
Megeileen and lisanne, your coming to Ireland for your honeymoon, take it from a native bring lots of raingear. Just had the worst summer since 1939 or something. Our country is a fantastic place and has really stunning senery but it does tend to rain a lot, maybe thats why we drink hot whisky and guiness.
Dublin is great but if you want great senery head south west to Kerry, or north to Donegal even SJP has a house in Ireland so your in good taste in picking the emerald isle as a honeymoon destination.
We were thinking Canada, anybody got advice for us going there end of April time, how is the weather at that time of the year?
sounds like you guys have some AMAZING trips planned! the bf and i have been talking about a honeymoon in greece since before we were talking about marriage! haha considering the economy and that we will prob be paying for a wedding alone (and buying a house the same year).... just not sure its in the budget. Lately I've been thinking maybe we should do 3 nights at a beach somewhere and then take a trip to greece later when we won't be so stressed with money. luckily, i have LOTS of time to think about it haha.
We'll probably just stay in a super nice hotel for a couple of nights, we're not sure what we will be able to afford by then. = )
Charleston, SC -- its kind of a mini-moon, but we really preferred to stay in US. Low-key, lots of relaxing on the beach, shopping in quaint downtown boutiques, dinner in fancy restaurants, and massages at our great hotel :)
Rio de Janeiro. Me and and an ex visited a while back. We had so much fun. I never told my hubby of course, but it was no surprise our Honey Moon took place in Rio either. Visit during Carnival, it is wild. And I read a post about Aruba, definitely nice.
We're doing Cozumel Palace. Pretty excited.
Cairns and Sydney, Australia! We went to Sydney for a 2 week trip in 2007 and Mr Moo loved it so much (also I have extended family there who won't be able to make it to the wedding so we're taking some wedding glow to them!). So super excited. We're booking flights next week - because it gets expensive fast!
