    lefeymw    April 16, 2011   CT

    Destination: Bali

    Resort: Ummm I forget the name. Not and all inclusive

    What kind of room? regular ole room. We wanted a suite but none were available (my parents are giving us 2 weeks of their time share to trade)

    How many days? 2 weeks, but we will spend 3 of them (4?) traveling and leaving a few days late so I think we will end up being there 9 or 10.

    How much will it cost you? Not sur eyet, but probably about $4K?  Its expensive to get there but really cheap once we are there so it actually could be a lot less than that. Tickets will be about $2500, the rest is spending money and taxes on the hotel (not paying for the actual hotel)

    Where are you travelling from? Out of New York and back into SF

     

    Looks like all-inclusives are popular!

    destination. hopefully las vegas nevada

    resort. excalibur

    room. avg room

    price. well unless we can find a better package around a thousand dollars.

    travelling. from dayton or columbus airport seems columbus is slightly cheaper and a direct flight.

    length. probably 3 or r days if we can afford it.

     

    if we cant afford this we will just go to wheeling wv and pittsburgh pa for a few days spending right around three to five hundred dollars.

    Not to sound snarky but are people embarrassed to put the cost on here?  I think leaving the cost blank really defeats the purpose of having this informational post.  That being said, I really hope no one would judge other's decisions to take trips of a lifetime.  Well worth it in my opinion.

    @Lindsaygooding:Our flight is prettty long..we leave sunday at 1:50 and will finally arrive in Santorini on Monday by noon. Sooo its long..but coming back will not be bad due to the change in days...My fiance actually surprised me with the Honeymoon and he did lots and lots of research. We went through expedia (He spoke with them ALOT). The hotel we are staying at is a 3/4 star hotel but it ranks in the top 10 hotels to stay in there due to the hospitality and experience. We are going during peak season too, so depending on where you are leaving from..$4,300 is the very highest. PM me if your really interested and I'll give you more info...It is definitly do able if you have $5,500...and I would say even if your budget is $5,000 you can probably do it..it all depends on the month :)

    My Fiance and I just decided that now is the time for us to go on a vacation like this, since we have money saved up, plus we wanted more than just a beach destination...this gives us both beach and history!

    Brianalaura    August 14, 2010   Ontario, Canada

    Destination: Varadero, Cuba

    Resort: Barcelo Solymar

    What kind of room? It was a "bungalow suite"; basically a townhouse.  It had a living room, 'kitchenette', 1.5 baths, a huge bedroom and a balcony.  It was pretty awesome!

    How many days? One week

    How much will it cost you? It was about $3000 Cdn.  However, we did a 'late' honeymoon, and it was over New Years, so all the prices were higher.  After we booked we went back days later, and the price had gone up about $500 a person.

    Where are you travelling from? Toronto

    We also did a "mini-moon" the weekend after the wedding, where we stayed in a hotel in Toronto and went out for dinner and a play.  We live in a suburb city about 40 min from downtown.  It was really nice.  I think if you can't go on a honeymoon right after your wedding (we had just moved and both started new jobs so could not get the time off), even a night in a nearby city feels really nice.
