Where you all off to on honeymoon

Ooh please would you mind sharing some of your "things to do" recs? We want to see as much as possible while we're there.

I would say your looking at £100 a person without alcohol, it is worth it! Tides is another good restaurant and you have to do Lonestar for lunch!

We went to bangkok for 3 nights:

last place was quite basic, but very very worth it.

i loved loved loved thailand, cannot recommend the place highly enough.

some of the HMs on here sound A-MAY-ZING.

Ive been to the bahia principe (i was about 13 at the time though!) and from what i can remember it was really nice, food was good. We went in hurricane season and i remember nearly every day at about 1pm it chucked it down for an hour then cleared up straight away. It was actually really nice as it was so hot! Most of the guests were glad of the tropical showers.

I'm so jealous hearing all your lovely ideas, I'm not too sure what we are doing, OH is organising it and it will be a surprise so who knows what he'll be thinking of

Http://www.thecliffbarbados.com/reservations.html It's pricey but the rest of Barbados (I thought) was good value (and in some areas) bordering on the cheap.

3 Nights Singapore

7 Bali, Sanur, Puri Santrian Hotel

3 Nights Hong Kong

Can't wait!!!!!

I think I'm the only bride who'll be coming home with frostbite instead of a suntan! We're off on a Norwegian cruise, hopefully to see the northern lights. It's an all inclusive 12 day vogage into the arctic circle.

We get to do a Viking feast, sightseeing in various cities, trips into the wilderness, and if there's snow we'll do a husky dog sledge adventure too.

Im going to the bluebay villas on 6th may.. ABSOLUTELY CANT WAIT!!... the reviews are fab and i know someone at work whos been.. perfect honeymoon.. and get to swim with dolphins! x

H2B is not convinced on the tour of sri lanka yet but we get all of above for £4k!!!

We are off to Lake Louise, Calgary Canada - then on to Vancouver, Niagra, etc etc

We are still undecided also,

were thinking for our 'minimoon' just the two of us we might just go away for a spa break for 5 days in the UK, then for our 'familymoon' go abroad, but have no idea whereabouts!!! but somewhere child friendly will be needed! x

ok mrs c so not only am i coming to your hen do (lol) im not inviting myself on your honeymoon! thank you please

lol Don't forget my birthday party too!!!

The most we have have ever spent on a holiday is £600... so £4k is a bit of a jump! But it will be A.May.Zing!!!!!!

x

on it, birthday parties are my fav lol!!!

Not sure of the exact location of some of these as I've not got my list to hand, but I'm sure a quick google would rectify that. On my list is...

Elephant safari with rescued elephants

'White' water rafting (somewhere up towards Ubud, was rec'd by the lady I spoke to at Trailfinders)

Monkeys & oragutans - Ubud

Tannah Lot temple

Visit to the paddy fields

Visit to one of the many volcanoes

Traditional cookery school

Night markets at Kuta

Mushroom & Dream beaches

We've also had recs for Bimbu Bali and La Scala restaurants too.

There's probably more, but that's all I can remember ATM. I'm not sure how much we're going to be able to fit in though as we've got so much to do, but I'm really hoping that we can at least manage all of the above. I'm hoping that, as there's so many on here going, we might be able to get some more recs before we go too. Will probably start a thread closer to the time to see who knows what.

Thank you, lots of things there I'd love to do (although I'll skip the rafting!)! I went on an elephant safari in Zambia this summer and it was amazing.

We're going for a week the day after the wedding to here.......Kuramathi Island, Maldives

/maldives/hotels/kuramathi-maldives

We are getting married in scotland so are still there for a few days after and then having honeymoon later in the year hopefully will be going to Thailand and visiting Chiang Mai (any recommendations for accomodation welcome!), Ko Phi Phi, Koh Lanta and bangkok, so excited ?

We are having 2 weeks in punta cana dominican republic. Caribe Club Princess x

We're going to the USA for 4 weeks - starting in New York for 5 days then travelling across to LA, stopping at Washington, Niagara, Mount Rushmore, Grand Canyon, chicago, Vegas, Yellowstone, Yosemite and many more places.

I can't wait ?

One imagines that a jaunt to Ufrica will be on the cards. Ever since my gap yah, it's been the place to go. Those ghastly press have to keep their distance. Splendid.

We're off to Jamaica, Runaway Bay for a week in an Ocean Front cottage ?

We went to Barbados (it was where we got engaged) and it was lovely! We stayed on a South Coast but had a car and explored the whole island, which is beautiful! We had a few chilled beach days also.

I would def recommend Barbados! ?

We were thinking of going around Thailand, but then decided to go for something wee bit more relaxing so currently looking into the Maldives with possibly a few days in Dubai ?

Trickers , I am looking for a place to stay in cornwall do they do holiday lets? if so do you know if they have a website ? ( sorry to hijack thread)

We're going to Corfu a month after the wedding. The few days afer getting married we will spend at home in Cornwall going for walks and to the beach (I'm hoping for lovely May weather again!)

Not officially! It is part of the package that Travel Counsellors have put together but need to get H2B to agree - looks amazing though!!!

We're coming down to Cornwall for a week for ours ? It doesn't start until the Friday after our Saturday wedding, so we've just booked a break in Paris inbetween!

Where are you going (if you don't mind me asking)?
