Where are you going on Honeymoon?

Hayse-08/10/11, 13 February, 2011 at 10:14 Posted on Planning 0 66

We're currently trying to decide where to go where to go on our Honeymoon and need a bit of inspiration. We like the idea of going to South Africa- Cape Town for a few days and Safari for a few days- followed by a week Mauritius however, this is working out at way over our budget.

So, where are you going on your honeymoon? And, why did you choose that place?

    Sunny Leicester - for one night only!

    We will go abroad with the kids later in the year, but a honeymoon immediately really isnt that important to us.

    We haven't decided yet but were considering Reykjavic as a mini moon for 5 nights, and then going somewhere warmer in the summer with our son. It's somewhere we've always liked the look of, and I think the Northern lights would be amazing. Hot springs, mud massages, the Ice hotel Oooh!

    I couldn't leave my son for a fortnight, before we had him I'd always wanted to go to Fiji or Bora Bora for honeymoon.

    We are hoping to have 2 ? Hopefully be taking our son and his son away for a week to spain or turkey or somewhere like that then come back and me and oh go off to mexico for a week by ourselves. This is working out alot cheaper than all 4 of us going to mexico for 2 weeks plus it will give us some nice time to ourselves. I just really hope we can afford it!

    We're getting married in August so we're going to have a few days away straight after the wedding, not sure where to yet though and then we're having our proper honeymoon at the end of the year and we're going to New York for christmas. That's the plan at least.

    Reykjavic sounds lovely and a bit different as well. Stupid question- what months of the year can you see the Northern lights?

    Never considered Fiji or Bora Bora- off to research now.

    Thanks for the response x

    Not too sure yet, as we're also buying our first house together before the wedding- so all depends on funds.

    KristaltippsHall- i like your thinking- we're from Leicestershire too, so that may be all we're getting! haha

    Not a stupid question, and one I have been researching! It seems to be quite unpredictable but generally late Autumn and early spring form what I've read.

    Thanks for the responses. It seems quite popular to have more than one- great idea! Off to research some of these places. Think we like the idea of combining a bit of signt seeing with a bit of relaxation.

    We've been to Mexico (playacar) and Dominican Republic (punta cana) and both were amazing, pure luxury.

    Have a bit of a soft spot for Wales because that's where we got engaged. The scenery is breathtaking x

    We're going to the Dominican Republic - just for a week. We wanted to do something special that would be different from a 'normal' holiday so we've gone for five star all inclusive - the compromise being that it's just for a week rather than two.

    Wow, that looks amazing, a really interesting tour and something completely different to what we've ever done. Hadn't considered anything cold! I'm definitely off to do research on this and consider it more.

    Since we're getting married in December, we're kinda limited to destinations (for a preferred sunny honeymoon) - (at least that's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it) I'm hoping that we can stretch our budget to Australia. Why - for a while it was my 2nd home in a way, and sadly that was where my Dad died whilst on holiday a few years back. My H2B has never been and I can't wait to be able to show him around all my 'old haunts'.

    A cruise sounds like a good idea- see lots of places but also relax on board x

    We are having a Minimoon in Rome 2 days after the wedding (our favourite city and our first holiday together) but are also finding it to be a lot more pricey than we expected for 3 nights! Our baby is coming with us too as my OH works abroad and come the wedding will not have seen us for 2 months! When we come home we have 2 days before we all move to Dubai with him! A 2 year honeymoon I suppose (just he'll have to work).

    We're going to Thailand in Aug, I'm a teacher and that's when I have off.

    Our wedding is in the US because that's where I am from so I'm already taking time off just to go to the wedding, I can't do any more for a HM right after the wedding.

    As we're getting married at the end of September and because of OH's job (not being able to take leave during standard holiday season) we're going straight after the wedding. We wanted to find some with some guaranteed sunshine. We're huge fans of south east Asia, but didn't want to run the gauntlet of monsoon season, likewise, hurricane season in the Carribean, so we're off to Dubai. We're also on a budget as I may be made redundant so Dubai seemed to offer the best combination of (some) access culture (bring on the camel rides and Bedouin tents!), guaranteed sunshine and value for money in terms of decent hotels.

    Can't wait!
