    We looked at Maldives, Mauritius etc but its so far to travel and the cost was way over our budget. So were going to Turkey for 2 weeks 5* for half the price. ?

    We are still undecided due to time off work and budget but would love to go to Vietnam and Cambodia. Thinking of going a few months after the wedding though so we can save a bit more and also have the time off work Smiley smile

    If we do go a few months after we are going to go to spain for a week straight after the wedding.

    We're jetting off to the Maldives for two weeks, expensive but will be 100% worth every second. I think you're right that one week might feel a bit short, the flight from the UK is just over ten hours so you lose some time getting there and back.

    Don't worry Laura9889, i know so many friends that went to the Maldives for their honeymoons and said it was paradise but utterly boring and don't go for longer than a week. One week is a perfect length of time to go as long as you can sleep on the flight out! We're going to the Amalfi Coast in Italy as we're getting married in July and the weather in Maldives/Seychelles/Indian Ocean terrible that time of year. Good luck with booking!

    Were looking into Mauritus for 10 nights then a 3 night safari in tanzinia. We had also looked at the maldives but in have decided on Mauritus as theres a bit more to do if we get a bit bored of lying on the beach! Although i dont see this happening ... OH might though . Still waitin gon quotes from the travel agent though so this could all change

    We looked at the Maldives too, but we're not really beach people so we decided against it!

    Haven't talked about it extensively but we were thinking of doing Route 66, would LOVE to do that .. however I still want a little bit of paradise and luxury in there so we might do the States and then either Hawaii or Caribbean in between. We'll see what's realistic within our budget, it'll be fantastic wherever we end up I'm sure ?

    Also, I don't think we're going to book anything until January as that's when all the airlines have their sales x

    We received our honeymoon as a gift. We are going to Mykonos for a week as I have a young child too. We usually go to Australia every year to see OH family so I am happy for a short haul week of relaxation.
