Taking time off to mark the start of your married life with a meaningful honeymoon is an essential experience for newlyweds. To make the experience as meaningful and relaxing as possible, here are a few tips to help you prepare for it:
1. Pick a great vacation and travel service - People spend good money on vacations, so you should make sure that you sign up with a service that will take good care of you throughout the trip. For people planning to go on their luxury honeymoon vacation, it helps to have professionals plan the travel for you. Signing up with a travel management solution makes the planning phase go smoother. Newlyweds want to enjoy the trip rather than be bothered with little details that take up time to fix and arrange.
2. Decide on what you will bring - If it's your first time to go on a cruise, it helps if you only brought what you needed, plus a few extra clothes that would be nice to wear for a formal evening. Packing too much could be quite a burden. What's more important is to take a few essentials that could come handy in the trip. Make sure that you have your airline tickets and/or cruise documents, passports and proof of citizenship (when applicable), health insurance cards, documentation of medical history, credit cards, cash or traveler's checks, and emergency numbers written down (and not just saved on your phone or PDA). You should also remember to bring your medicine prescriptions, suntan lotion, a handy first aid kit, medication for allergies, and the likes. Remember that vacationers are often easy targets for thieves and conmen so don't bring any valuables unless it is truly necessary. Have a few essentials in a carry-on luggage, just in case a delay happens and you don't get your luggage immediately on the cruise or after the plane lands.
3. Check the itinerary - Checking the itinerary and doing some advance research on the area you are going to is also helpful in making the most out of your honeymoon vacation. The anticipation of doing things together also makes the trip more meaningful.
4. Don't fill up your itinerary with too much activities - Most of the time, people end up feeling like they need a vacation after they come home from a vacation. That's because the excitement in being in a new place often takes over and you fill your daily itinerary with too many things to do that there's not much time to rest and really enjoy the experience. Instead of rushing from one tourist spot to another, just pick a few places you can visit and pick a few activities you'll enjoy doing together. Don't tire yourself out with too much activities. It's the quality, not the quantity that matters.
5. Decide not to be interrupted during your honeymoon vacation - Make sure that any work you leave behind is taken care of or properly delegated before you go off on your honeymoon vacation. Nothing ruins the mood faster than bringing along work or letting work issues interrupt your time together. If your mind is someplace else rather than with your new bride/groom, chances are he/she will sense that and it ruins the honeymoon mood.
Careful planning and being in the right mood and mindset is the key to enjoying your luxury honeymoon vacation.
