Honeymoon How-to
A honeymoon should be one of the most, if not the most
, romantic and exciting vacation you take as a couple. Whether it's your first or second honeymoon, choosing a romantic destination and planning your travel carefully will allow you to create wonderful memories with your spouse. Travel options for honeymoons are as varied as the couples planning them. Here are a few ideas to consider - it's your honeymoon so choose the trip that sounds the best to you and your special someone. Whether you prefer to spend your vacation in sandals or snowshoes, there are honeymoons for you!Honeymoon planners often think of luxury resorts first. It makes sense, what better way to enjoy a romantic vacation than in the lap of luxury? If staying in a fancy hotel, eating at upscale restaurants, and spending your vacation time relaxing at the hotel spa or getting a massage sounds like an ideal honeymoon to you, consider looking into honeymoon packages at luxury or inclusive resorts. Almost any destination you choose will have some luxury or all-inclusive resort options and most resorts have honeymoon packages available. For romantic luxury vacation options, think about quiet waterfront or mountainous locales - and you can find these in San Antonio honeymoons or Spanish Riviera honeymoons. You don't have to travel great distances or spend an arm and a leg to get to a luxury destination.
Honeymoon packages are common at most luxury resorts, but you don't have to visit a luxury resort to find a romantic vacation. If you and your sweetie are on a budget and prefer a destination vacation where you spend most of your time exploring, you may want to spend a little less on luxury in your accommodations in exchange for more travel adventure. Some couples prefer a romantic tent on the beach or a tree house in the jungle to a luxury resort. If you want to spend your honeymoon kayaking down a river, you may not want an inclusive luxury hotel - a few duffel bags and a tent may be your best honeymoon package! Whatever will make a vacation memorable and romantic for you and your honey is the priority, whether or not it fits the stereotypical honeymoon package.
Some honeymoon-ers plan their honeymoons close to home, either for time, financial, or preference reasons. Choosing a destination near where you live has the advantage of allowing you to enjoy the best romantic or luxury options your destination has to offer without honneymoon-ers feeling pressure to schedule lots of running around time, if that's not what their ideal romantic vacation is. Some of the best honeymoons take place close to home - couples on a budget can use their honeymoon funds toward luxury accommodations instead of on travel, and you make the most of the time you have without spending a big chunk of your vacation in travel.
In the past, the groom's family was responsible for the honeymoon. These days, dream honeymoons can be paid in part through a honeymoon registry. Registry for honeymoons is an increasingly popular way for family and friends to contribute to the romantic honeymoon destinations and for couples to make the best of their honeymoon travel on any budget.
