    Hey Bees!

    I'm just pouring over so many websites and thinking about where to jet set off to.  The Excellence in Cancun looks spicy good to me.

    Where are you thinking about going for your honeymoon???

    Ugh don't get me going, Iv;e had 3 bad experiances with travel agents all related to trying to figure out this honeymoon and no luck or idea where we were going.

    I don't know if we should do it all ourself, or try to get a package thingy....I'm thinking south of Playa Del Carmen somewhere in an all inclusive. I hear thats nice, affordable and not too touristy.

    Course with the amount this wedding is costing we could be honeymooning in our back yard with only a view of the fat hairy neighbor guy working on his car....ISH!

    I can't wait to see what everyone else says, maybe it will help me get moving.

    Just decided this week! Dubai and the Maldive Islands!

     There's no direct flight to the Maldives from NY, so the choices were to fly through Dubai or Singapore. So why not stay a night in Dubai? Can't wait!

    Dubai and Maldives~ fancy.  The Maldives are our dream honeymoon destination but prices seem to be out of our budget.  Are you using a travel agent or booking it yourself?

    We are thinking of skipping the honeymoon all together for now and going later as our wedding has gone out of control financially.

    We did (and I still would like to think) consider going on a 3 week cruise which tackles Hawaii, all of French Polynesia (Bora Bora, Moorea and the like), New Zealand, and Australia. The other alternative is to run off to Western Europe. Who knows, we'll see!

    We're going old school - Vegas, baby!  Good food, great shows, and a sexy, delux room overlooking the city of lights.  Neither of us have ever been before, and we're psyched.

    India! Sooooo excited and so looking forward to travelling again - we usually go o/s every year but skipped this year's in favour of affording a wedding + house deposit :(

    To make up for it we're going to be staying in some amazing (but still fairly cheap!) heritage hotels - converted castles and forts etc. SO excited, wish it was sooner!

    no idea. i'm trying to convince the fiance that we should do something small, as the money will be tight, and then go someplace cool/amazing/fabulous for our one year anniversary... but everybody's reaction is this: "but it's your honeymoooooon! you only get one! do it right!" hey, it's my honeymoon, we'll do whatever we want...

    the current frontrunner is a cruise to the mexican riveria, for a weekish, as we can get one out of LA for about $1000 for both of us. :)

    ooo harugirlie! Japan is a great honeymoon! I definitely recommend going to the hot springs. The traditional ones have separate baths for men and women but you can find more modern ones where you can spend it with your husband.

    Miss Lovebird, we can't wait for Maldives! Actually my fiance's friend has a corporate hook-up so he's booking all the hotels for us. But we're doing the flights ourselves.

    We chose between Tahiti (all the islands around too), Thailand, St. Lucia, and Costa Rica.  All of these places are very romantic and beautiful.  A LOT of honeymooners in all of them, as you can tell - especially St. Lucia.  SO after deciding that Thailand and Tahiti were just too far (because of the cost, we could only do a week in either place, and that was just not long enough), and St. Lucia hotels are pricey, we went with 2 weeks in Costa Rica.  CANNOT WAIT!!!  We will be traveling all over CR for 2 weeks.  Rooms are extremely affordable too!  We were actually just about to book St. Lucia when my FI said he'd really prefer CR.  That being said, I am the kind of person who needs a million things to do when I am on vacation; St. Lucia is a small island.  I was worried I would run out of things to do!  ANyway, if you are thinking Mexico, what about Puerto Vallarta?  I've never been to Cancun, but it seems like such a party place.  Playa del Carmen is nice too, but when I was there I felt like we had to drive everywhere to do anything.  Anyway, I think honeymoons are fun no matter where you go!

    ICELAND!  We live in the UK, but are getting married in Cali, and Iceland is on the way back.  Spas, natural hot springs, trips up glaciers, beautiful hiking, and isolation!!  :-)  Also, in July, there's about 21 hours of daylight each day, which is pretty awesome.  We're psyched.

    It's between Turks & Caico's or London and Paris.

    Basically do we want to sit on the beach and chill or sight see and travel a lot...sigh! I want to do both...I just can't decide!

    Anyone been to Turks and Caico's?

    We're venturing off to New Zealand for two weeks!  We're both very much into the outdoors so we're also renting a campervan.  :)  We liked the idea of coming and going as we pleased so we can hike, kayak, whatever.  We're really excited!

    Maui!  We are so excited.  My fiance has never been anywhere tropical before!  I can't wait to see the look on his face!  :)

     We are staying in a time share condo so we can cook some of our meals to save.  I booked our flights with air miles and out inter-island tickets were only $70 round trip per person. 

    We are planning to golf, eat good, food, lay on the beach, and get new tattoos on our last day!

    I hear all the ladies out there that are struggling with the budget portion of the honeymoon!  We were going to take a short trip to a nearby "big" city and then do a "real" honeymoon later, but FH won a trip to South Padre Island, TX through his work.  Neither of us have been there before so we're making it into our honeymoon.  It isn't what we would have picked, but it's free!

    Oh so many interesting trips.  I'm so glad to hear from everybody.  We just booked the Excellence Riveria Cancun.  we also toyed around with some vegas fun too!  But all in all we opted to splurge - I doubt we'll do any big trips for years to come!!

    Thank you guys for responding!!

    We're going to aruba.  We were thinking Italy, but didn't want to spend our honeymoon on that much of a schedule, plus that is $$.  So aruba is budget friendly, hurricane free (hopefully!) with beautiful beaches.  OH, I can't wait!!

    I am not sure what we are going to do.

    Neither of us are really big beach people.  We were going to go to London, but airfare is pretty high and the dollar is so weak there right now.

    I'd love to go to another country, but I also don't want to go into huge debt for this.  (I had a woman tell me how her and her husband used all of their wedding gift money on their honeymoon and how she regreted it so much because you can always go on a trip).

    So we're thinking maybe going to Boston and Maine.  I've never been to Boston but he has and he loves it there.  Neither of us have ever been to Maine, but we've both wanted to go.

    St. Barts! And we are staying at the Eden Rock! Can't wait!!

     Karieck05 I went to Turks and Caicos last April.  We stayed at the Palms.  I have to say it was the nicest Island and the best trip I have ever been on.  I been to about 5 other caribean Islands and nothing beat Turks.  The beach was the nicest, the service at the hotel was amazing and the food was sooooo good! If you go you have to book a dinner at a place called Gracie's Cottage.  Best meal I have ever had.  It really spoiled me for other Islands.  I hope St. Barts lives up to Turks. If you are really considering going let me know and I can send you some pictures of our hotel.
