Honeymoon or romantic vacation? [Archive]

I know as we're all get so growned up, a lot of us are either getting married and going on a honeymoon, or taking a special romantic trip with their significant other. I know Furie and Zathrus went to Ireland, and Jeff and Missy went to the Bahamas.  I believe Effme and Poot are doing the FLA thing. I have my own ideas, but I was curious what other people have done and/or doing.

I proposed to my wife in Ireland.After the wedding, we went on a cruise. Then proceeded to get the criuse bug. 5 cruises before the 1st critter was born. And 1 after! Been to damn near every island in the Carribean!

i have no reference to go from on this, but i think hawaii is the best
bet.  i think it might have the least amount of downside.

Matty,

Dont go to Bermuda in the fall. the hurrican season lasts till November. Atleast that is what the travel agent told us when we went to book our honeymoon last week. We had our hearts set on it too. Now it will be Porta Varlta (sp?) from OCT 5th-11th.

The wedding is Sept 30th. Coming up fast.

Hawaii you need 10 days for. We thought about flying to San Fran and wine country for 2 days then Hawaii for 5 days then 2 days in my fav town next to NYC- VEGAS!! but i need to work.

Its not spending money we dont have if its a honeymoons. Also, my last few trips were saved for and paid before they were booked.

Our wedding will be in the late spring, so it's a good time for almost anywhere in the U.S.A or the tropics. Forgive my future brother-in-law.  The money and other neccessities for the honeymoon (frequent flyer miles, reward points, etc) are already set aside and ready to be used, so there's no real issue money wise.

Matty do the tour of celebs homes. David spade throws rocks at the bus from his roof and Jack Osbourne aims the sprinklers at it too.

Casey Kasem walk over to the bus and said hello to us. Someone (not me i swear) asked how he got a hot looking wife. he said "money." true story except for the not me part. heheehehehe.

First off, a cruise ship (not a boat) is over 15 stories high, and 2 football fields long. With the stabilizers, there is no motion.I have been to 5 star hotels, and have not been treated as well as on a ship. (Royal Caribbean in particular)6 meals a day included. Your head waiter and wine steward already know your preferences by the second day. Your cabin porter chills the beer for you that you bought on shore! There is a Casino, Vegas Revues, a movie theater, skating rink, 2 pools, 3 Hottubs, European Spa, gym, hoops, skeet, etc.ALL RIGHT THERE! Don't even get me started with the shore excursions!  By far, a cruise is the best service, and best bang for the buck out there!

Tenbats, have you ever been on a cruise? You should def try it once, but I did and didn'nt like it. The motion thing isn't a problem on any decent sized boat. But you can be stuck on the boat for days at a time, the rooms are almost always the size of closets, and no matter how much there is to do on the thing, I got bored within a few days. Oh, and you have about 5 bthings to choose from on the menu, none of which I'd ever order for myself if I had a choice. Knowing you a little from this board, I'd guess you'd get stir crazy like I did. Not trying to be a downer, just something to consider.

i'm getting married in november, but because of my job i (we) can't honeymoon until february -- giving us extra time to ponder/obsess/mull our options:the thinking is that at this point in our lives, both 32, kids (and the whole family spiel) are on the near horizonhaving said that, our honeymoon could be the chance to do something fantastic to go to that once in a lifetime placeanywhere domestic, the carribean or even most of europe are negotiable with a family, and can be done in a long weekend ... and between the two of us there're places we've already visited (and hope to go back another time) ... we're also not really beach people, so the prospect of lulling around on a beach isn't all that exciting ... and my chick gets sea sick, so a cruise wouldn't work eitherthat's why the south pacific -- australia, new zealand, fiji and/or bali are the front runners ... a little exotic paradise and a common/familiar cultureso long answer -- i'd vote for hawaii, and a big nay to the cruise option (spending the majority of your honeymoon on a mode of transportation wouldn't work for me)

isn't a honeymoon a romantic vacation?my sis and bro-in-law went to antigua for their honeymoon.  they said they had an absolute blast.  and a good friend of mine went to hawaii and absolutely loved it.   i had another friend do the disneyworld honeymoon, which i didnt get, because he'd already been there millions of times.  i say do something neither of you have done or have gone before that you can both afford.

We're going to Lake Tahoe in August.There are some great places in Napa Valley/Sonoma area but my husband doesn't really like wine so that would kind of defeat the purpose of going to wine country.It depends on what you want. An active honeymoon or a leisure/lounge around honeymoon. Also depends on the scenery you prefer. I like lakes/mountains better than the beach so that's how I made my choice.My mom said Bermuda is beautiful, LA is OK, but I wouldn't go for a honeymoon. It's so hard to decide! I just booked mine last night finally. Good luck. I'm sure wherever you go will be great because you're TOGETHER. That's what counts.

I went to Central America last March and it was a blast. The only plan we
had was: fly in to Panama, fly out of El Salvador 2 weeks later. We had a
little lonely planet guide and we spent the bulk of the time in Nicaragua and
Honduras. We never spent more than $15 a night on accomadations, and
many were really nice (some, particularly in Panama City and Tegucigalpa,
were kind of gross). If you're at all into doing a more adventurous thing, I'd
suggest it. We spent about a total of $1600 for both of us including airfare
for the two weeks, and we lived and ate like kings (central american beef
rocks).

For about 2-3x that price you could also do Costa Rica as an organized
"tour". It's what I just suggested to my friend who is looking for an
"adventurous" romantic getaway. She is the sort that in theory likes to do
"outdoors" and "adventurous" things but in reality is kind of a princess. The
"tour" is not a tour where you are in a group of people whom you stay with
and have a guide and all that; it's more of a very convenient, organized trip
where your itinerary is all laid out for you, your transport (by bus, car and
minivan) is arranged and a lot of activities are also already arranged. It
makes it really really easy - eg you get dropped off at your hotel, and you
have your little voucher for the ride to a hike up the active volcano, soak in
the hot springs and gourmet dinner all set up so you don't need to arrange
anything. We encountered loads of honeymooning couples. I have some
photos from that trip here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/0903/

Sorry, I should have read the whole trhead before replying: Costa Rica is not
ultra cheap. It is just somewhat cheap. The rest of central america is ultra
cheap, Nicaragua perhaps marginally less so (it's starting to get super-duper
touristy the way Costa Rica is). If you go to Costa Rica, don't go to an all-
inclusive resort. The whole reason you'll want to go to Costa Rica is to see all
the different areas in one country - the Pacific and Atlantic coasts are
NOTHING like each other, just as neither is remotely like the cloud forest
around Monteverde or the spectacular active volcano of Arenal. If you go to
only one of these areas, you'll be missing out on a ton of stuff.

I was in Hawaii last December. Yes, lots of stuff to explore, but yes, quite
pricey. Also, not too adventurous - it is part of the US, after all.

I was in New Zealand last August and despite the fact that I only saw the
north island, I had a blast - I went climbing, fishing, saw glowworm caves,
etc - but it's kind of pricey and obviously getting there is really expensive
and takes a long time. My photos from climbing in hobbiton are here:http://

The total of the trip is 8 night, 7 days. The all inclusive resort runs tours and day trips and stuff out of there...They have big group stuff and individualized trips as well. We are somewhat adventurous, I love the water, Helen is scared of it. There won't be a lack of things to do. However, we don't travel that much together, so it will be nice to relax and decide to do nothing one of the days if we choose.I don't know what your price range is but I will tell you what we are paying if you PM me. 8 days, 7 nights in the Country...2 nights in San Jose...Ground Transport to Guanacaste, The rest of the time at the all-inclusice resort...(Highly Rated) Direct flights both directions (EWR to San Jose....Liberia to EWR)

Some of the best food in the country is in San Francisco and the surrounding areas. Its not just wine country, they produce just about everything food wise in that area, from artisinal (I hate that word) cheeses to hierloom fruits and vegetables to you name it. And it's an unbelieveably beautiful scenic area. Drive up Rte 1, visit the local towns and San Fran. Its almost impossible to get a bad meal in San Francisco.  That area of SoCal is probably the most physically beautiful in the US.

Santa Rita is also really cool (Sideways territory).  We were in LA last year and spent a day going to the vineyards around there.  Then, like a tourist, we waited 2 hours for a table at the Hitching Post II (the restaurant from the movie).  It was worth every minute the steak is unbelievable and their wine is great too.  Good times...

What is romantic to one person is not necessarily romantic to another. When planning your once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon it is important to choose a vacation destination and activities that you will enjoy. With its romantic hotels, delicious food and fabulous views, Italy is an ideal destination for a romantic honeymoon. After spending a few days exploring Venice, Florence and Rome, head to one of the hotels on the Italian coast where you can unwind next to a pool. Love and understanding gives us all the confidence to move into the future together.
