Where are you going on Honeymoon?

Posted on Planning 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...

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

    You ladies all have some amazing honeymoons planned!

    We haven't decided yet, we know that our honeymoon will have to be 6months (ish) after the wedding so that we have time to save up. OH's lovely aunty and uncle have offered us their beautiful country lodge in Wales for a few days mini moon straight after the wedding though.

    We are also having 2.

    One straight after - in Mexico, the Excellence Playa murjeres:

    Then 6 months later onto the Dominican republic. Trying to decide between another excellence resort, or going back to somewhere i've been once already without family - The majestic colonial in punta cana.

    or

    We've also just found out OHs uncle will be living 1 hour from New York in 18 months, which may mean another awesome holiday 4 months after Dom Rep - it's also Dad's Bday so shall see what that brings - Dad took us all away for his wifes 40th and its his 50th so Im hoping they may again return the favour and we'd only have to pay for OH!!

    We really fancied doing a twin centre but like you everything was coming out wayyyy over budget.

    We have booked to go to Mexico - Its not somewhere we've been and we wanted to go to the carribean. Took us ages to decide!!

    We are going to Mallorca for 2 weeks. We got a great deal on a 1 bedroom villa with private swimming pool, surrounded by lemon groves. Looks and sounds amazing and will be very secluded, which is what we want Smiley smile

    Everyone else's sound great! I'm very jealous of those going to the Caribbean...

    We haven't decided yet but it'll be a couple of days on Pemba or Zanzibar followed by a longer break later in the year - hoping for Zambia or Mozambique but should also come back to the UK at some stage as OH has never been.

    We're off to somewhere secluded and lovely in the UK for the week after our wedding. Mr CB is booking it so I'm not sure exactly, though I suspect it might be the Lake District.

    We're having our proper honeymoon in September - 3/4 weeks travelling around Bora Bora, Tahiti, Fiji and maybe the Cook Islands, followed by 2 weeks in New Zealand. Looking forward to finalising our itinerary soon!

    We are not sure yet, but are seriously thinking of going to USA and Mexico (we would go in November as weather's not great in Sept).

    We would fly to Los Angeles, get the train to the Grand Canyon stop there for a night, get the train to Houston (stopping a couple of times we have not decided where yet), go to NASA (OH loves space stuff), go to New Orleans to drink burbon and listen to jazz (my friend is there at the moment working and her pic look amazing, great atmosphere) this would be 1 week, the second week would be fly from Houston to Mexico City (I have a friend there) stay there a night then pop over to the Mexican caribbean to RELAX.

    I am not sure how much this will cost tho...

    We're planning to mostly campervan around New Zealand, but we'll have a few nights in luxury accommodation too. Planning to go for 3-4 weeks in November 2012 or February 2013 (we get married in August 2012) and can't flippin' wait!

    I'd love a minimoon as well but it depends if there's any spends left in the budget!

    Bates Motel.

    Otherwise known as that place in Mauritius where the staff strangle nice honeymooners!

    Am hoping that lightning really doesn't strike twice in the same place.

    My mum threw a bit of a wobbly too, but the travel agent said we couldn't change hotels unless we paid a fee (which we can't afford having blown the budget on the honeymoon anyway!)

    I have told H2B that he is fetching all the biscuits and I am keeping the spending money in my knickers. (Where NO-ONE will get hold of it!)

    Hiya ladies, were off to Mauritius too staying at the Sugar Beach Resort. soooo excited.

    we was going to stay at the carribean, but we love the idea of the indian ocean and the romance of it so we thought it would be perfect place to spend our honeymoon and as were getting married in december, that is when they have their summer.

    Santorini and Cyclades. Greek island with stunning sunsets. Reachable by easyjet but still beachy feeling.

    We're thinking cold holiday too! At the moment we'd love to go to Sweden to the original Ice Hotel www.icehotel.com to hopefully see the Northern Lights. I also fancy trying some ski-ing and doing the ice sculpting too. Neither of us are bothered about hot, and this would be an adventurous holiday. We'd try and explore a little of scandinavia while we were there. My fiance has also suggested we have a second honeymoon at the Olympics... so we applied for tickets (we went a bit mad and tried to book 7 events, ranging from Athletics, Fencing and Weightlifting!). Would be amazing if we could do that too.

    I think I might be more excited about the honeymoon than the wedding... ?
