Kenya Paradise For The Perfect Wedding And Honeymoon
By Felix Koskei

A wedding day is probably one of the happiest moments for any couple. This is a day you would want to remain with you and be part of you for the rest of your life. This is a day when you commit to love and cherish and behold for richer or poorer till death do you part. It is a principal turning point in ones life and all that everyone can pray for is a happy everlasting union.

A wedding within any culture or proportion does not come cheap. Weddings are very expensive in most parts of world. A part from making a big hole in your pocket, planning a wedding can be a headache if not a nightmare to a lot of people. By the time the big day comes, the couple and the organizing team will have burnt the midnight oil for several months.

Kenya has a wide range of wedding locations. You can have a wedding right inside the jungle wilderness amid the lions and elephants. One can also have a wedding in the sandy white beaches of the Kenya coast. A wedding can also be hosted in a 5 star city hotel with all the glamour anyone can imagine. A wedding can also be held in the country side surrounded my tradition and culture of that community. Be it a civil, traditional or a religious wedding, a wedding in Kenya is bound to be as stress-free and as hassle-free as anyone can wish for.

Holding a wedding in a foreign country has a lot of advantages. The most important aspect being the reduction in costs. Due to the reduced number in your guest list, expenditure will be reduced to a mere fraction. Secondly, the headache of planning and organizing the wedding will be lifted off your shoulders and this will be the responsibility of your travel agent. Your main task will be providing the required legal documentation and regular guidance on your preferences.

I recently organized a beach wedding in a five star hotel in the coast of Mombasa. For starters, what is required is the couples full documentation. This will include passports, birth certificates, letter from a church minister or doctor or a civil registrar confirming neither party is married; or proof of Decree of Absolute in case of previous divorce; or certificate of death in case of a widow/widower situation. Other required details will be full addresses for both parties, occupations, religion and addresses of the parties parents. Once the formal legal notification of the wedding has been filed, the nitty-gritty details of the wedding day begin to take place. For Kenya, the usual minimum residency required is 3 weeks, which is normally reduced to 3 full days excluding weekends and national holidays, upon receipt by the registrar of a letter signed by both parties.

A wedding in Kenya will normally come as a package. This will basically include accommodation, registration fees, civil registrars fees, registrars transportation to the wedding venue, wedding cake, sparkling wine, button hole and bouquet, flowers, fruits, decoration of the wedding venue, photography, videography, traditional dancers or a live band or a guitarist and witnesses (if required).

During the 3 days mandatory period when the wedding couple is in the country, they got a detailed briefing of all the arrangements that have been done and if there are any changes that are needed, then they will be effected immediately.

On the day of the wedding, the witnesses accompanied by the traditional dances went to pick the wedding couple from their room. Before they exit, there is a photo taking session. The wedding couple and the witnesses were then escorted by dance and praise to the wedding venue; which is right at the beach of the Indian Ocean. The venue is fully decorated with an arch and flowers with tables and seats. The guests are seated and the registrar or priest is waiting for the couple. As the wedding couple and the witnesses settle in their positions, the dancers provide a short entertainment interlude. Immediately after that, the wedding function begins as the priest or registrar takes over. Once the vows have been exchanged and the couple is declared man and wife, there is a moment of jubilation and congratulation as the entertainment continues. This is followed a photo taking moment in different selected locations.

The party then returns to the venue for the cake cutting and toasting. This is then followed by an entertainment interlude as the guests and visitors present their gifts to the newly weds.

A wedding in the jungle would run as smoothly as a wedding in the city in spite of the challenges involved. The priest or registrar shall come to the wedding venue and provide his legal services.

The wedding is then preceded by a honeymoon safari. On the honeymoon, the newly weds will have an exclusive vehicle and driver for their use. Game drives shall be open and can be done anytime the couple feels like going. A honeymoon suite shall always be reserved for the newly weds.

A wedding and honeymoon in Kenya is bound to a special and memorable moment for any couple. The detail at which the organization is done is immaculate and impressive. Within 12 hours, you shall be delivered with an album with the best photos well placed and arranged. You will also receive an edited high quality DVD of your wedding. The raw copy shall also be given to you so that your special day remains with you forever.

Honeymoons in Tanzania and Zanzibar

2008-11-24T07:18:00.001-08:00

Honeymoons in Tanzania and Zanzibar
By Ian Williamson

The ideal location for a honeymoon must be Tanzania, the game safari followed by an idyllic retreat to one of the islands on the Zanzibar archipelago. These richly spiced islands surrounded by the warm, crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean make Tanzania an ideal honeymoon destination.

Zanzibar offers many elegant lodges that provide private intimate accommodation necessary for the perfect honeymoon. I would say Tanzania is probably the easiest country in Africa in which to combine a quality safari with time on an island in the Indian Ocean.

Many couples get married between July and October and the Zanzibar Archipelago offers hot, dry weather with little or no humidity. Zanzibar offers a wide range of accommodation and prices and is very good value for money.

Some of the favorite lodges for honeymooners are Mnembe Island, Breezes, Ras Nungwi and of course the remote and luxurious Fundu Lagoon on Pemba Island. Prices vary from around US$2,000 per person up to US$6,000 per person depending on the amount of luxury you opt for on safari in Tanzania and relaxing on Zanzibar.

Bellow is a short description of some of the lodges named above.

Mnemba lies two kilometers north-east of the island of Zanzibar. A protection zone surrounds the island, conserving magnificent coral reefs where giant turtles, ghost crabs and tropical fish drift through the lagoons. Mnemba Island features banda cottages, bordered on three sides by tropical beach forest and overlooking the beach and coral reef.

Breezes Beach hotel is beautifully decorated in relaxed elegance with a wonderful mix of hand carved furniture, Zanzibar antiques and beautiful fabrics. This beautiful resort is located along a pristine, untouched beach stretching as far as the eye can see and is situated on the south east coast of the Island of Zanzibar. This hotel has a curtained restaurant for two set right on the edge of the Indian Ocean.

On the northernmost tip of Zanzibar Island, Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel overlooks a sparkling expanse of Indian Ocean, a cluster of whitewashed and palm thatched cottages set in tropical gardens. The lush gardens drop down onto unspoilt beaches which have the benefit of a wide coral reef.

Fundu is on Pemba Island, the sister island to Zanzibar lying across the Pemba Channel to the north. The hotel is situated on a remote and beautiful beach on the south western side of the island and is only accessible by boat. There are sixteen bungalows, consisting of spacious tents, set under thatch roofs on wooden decks and each with a view over the ocean. Each room is ensuite with fresh hot water shower, toilet and basin. The rooms are connected to the main buildings by sand walkways. Some rooms are situated along the beachfront with the remaining on an elevated position overlooking the ocean. Two of our fourteen accommodations are suites with their own private chill out decks and plunge pools.

Zanzibar also has places of interest to hire a motorcycle and tour the island can be a great adventure. A few places to visit are: the Historic town and port of Stone Town Tour, at Kizimkazi there is a chance to dive with the dolphins, no trip would be complete with out a Spice Tour. Jozani Forest is a great day out to see the rare Red Colobus monkey and follow the nature trail through this beautiful forest; it is an area of incredible natural beauty.

How to Create a Wedding and Honeymoon Gift Basket

2008-11-23T08:01:00.001-08:00

How to Create a Wedding and Honeymoon Gift Basket
By Bonnie Ray

Help the newly engaged couple with their wedding expenses by giving them a gift of small useful items used in a wedding, at the reception or on their honeymoon. Create a wedding and honeymoon gift basket. Below you will find examples of useful items you may wish to include.

* Set of Toasting Flutes
* Bottle of Champagne or Sparkling White Grape Juice
* Garter
* Cake Serving Set
* Guests Register Book
* Disposable Cameras
* Wedding Bubbles
* Photo Album
* Picture Frames
* Candles
* Bubble Bath
* Net Sponge Scrubber
* Body Lotion
* CD of Their Favorite Romantic Music
* Decorated Basket

In the basket you could include a set of monogrammed fluted toasting glasses along with a bottle of champagne or sparkling white grape juice for the couple that doesnt drink. These items could be used at their rehearsal dinner or reception for the toast. The toasting flutes could be decorated in their wedding flowers and colors.

The bride could wear the garter on her wedding day to be removed by the groom for the garter toss at the reception. The gentleman that catches it is said to have good luck.

A lovely cake knife and server set for cutting the wedding cake is a very useful item. You could also decorate them with small flowers and ribbons for the occasion. This item makes a cherished keepsake and can be used in the home after the wedding.

Include a guests register book for all the guests that will be attending the wedding to sign. The bride and groom can reminisce through it after returning from their honeymoon and remember all of their family, friends and associates that attended the ceremony.

Disposable cameras are great gifts to include for capturing all those precious memories at parties, rehearsal dinner, the wedding, and the reception. They can carry it on their honeymoon to capture all those unforgettable moments. By placing a disposable camera on each reception table, their guests can take pictures of each other or events as they play out during the reception party. After returning from the honeymoon they can get the pictures developed and enjoy events they may have otherwise missed. To protect and display all of those wedding photographs, include a photo album and picture frames.

A basket filled with wedding bubbles is another great gift idea. They could be passed out at the wedding reception for the guest to blow at the newlywed couple as they leave on their honeymoon.

Include the following items for the couple to pack in their honeymoon luggage. Candles, bubble bath, net sponge scrubber, body lotion and CD of their favorite romantic music for a romantic bath and body massage after a long day of wedding partying. Before leaving on the honeymoon have one of the attendants carefully pack the champagne flutes so while taking that long leisurely bath they can enjoy a glass of champagne and make a special toast to each other and their love before the first night of wedding bliss.

Place all of these wonderful small useful gifts in a lovely white thick willow basket that can be used at the reception to display wedding guests favors. Make the basket more special by fully lining it with satin fabric and surround the circumference with pretty lace. Add flowers, greenery and ribbons in the wedding colors to carry out their wedding theme. Once the items are placed in the basket wrap it in tulle and tie it off with a pretty ribbon bow that matches the wedding color theme. After the wedding it makes a lovely decoration for their home to display magazines, towels or other small items.

To cut down on cost, the wedding attendants could contribute a few dollars toward the gift basket and present it to them at one of the many pre wedding parties.

Go Exotic Honeymoons In Vietnam

2008-10-30T06:00:00.001-07:00

Go Exotic Honeymoons In Vietnam
By Richard Rspad

Vietnam is a term that carries a certain connotation in American culture given the Vietnam War. Given this fact, you might be surprised to learn many honeymoon there.

Vietnam is a country of beauty where mountains, green rice paddies and blue rivers make up a beautiful and exotic local. This Indochinese country is a perfect destination for travelers that want to have a different sort of honeymoon trip from the typical Caribbean island getaways or cruises.

Vietnam is the most populous of the Southeast Asian countries with over 85 million people calling this country home. In the mid 19th century, France colonized Vietnam adding a touch of their culture to the already rich heritage of this country. During World War II, Japanese forces invaded Vietnam and France lost its hold on the country. The Vietnam War during the 1970's brought strife to the country as well as other nations around the world. Unbeknown to most Americans, the United States has resumed positive relations with Vietnam as of 1994. For adventurous couples, this has made Vietnam a hot honeymoon destination.

An example of the various Vietnam honeymoon options starts in Vietnam's capital city of Hanoi. Here, tourists can see Ho Chi Minh's home and grave, as well as many pagodas, cultural sites and museums. Continuing on into the Tonkenese Alps, newlyweds get a glimpse of the area that was once a destination resort for French ambassadors and is now the home of some of Vietnam's ethnic minorities. Other highlights of a tour of Vietnam include stops at local markets, such as in Sa Pa, and the thousands of limestone islands located in Ha Long Bay. If you just want to lie around all day, this is the spot.

The highlight of your trip may be the time spent in Ho Chi Minh City, a large metropolis within the country. Here, you can take a look at the Jade Emperor Pagoda, the various cafs and shopping areas as well as some French colonial items, which include the Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Old Saigon Post Office. You'll also see the Mekong Delta, which is Vietnam's largest rice producing area and delta region, where the famous Unicorn Island is located.

While on your trip to Vietnam, you will be sure to feel the romance and mystery of observing a different land and culture than you are used to. Tours of Vietnam are priced affordably at around $1500 per person for a 14 day tour with meals and stay included.

Top Ten Honeymooning Spots

2008-10-17T20:53:00.000-07:00

Top Ten Honeymooning Spots
By Richard Rspad

When you are ready to go honeymooning, there are an overwhelming number of destination choices. To help you choose, here are the top 10 spots newlyweds choose.

Sometimes, choosing honeymooning destinations can be brutal. Many couples have different interests and ideas as to what constitutes a perfect vacation. It can be difficult to compromise if a couple enjoys vastly different climates or activities. One way to choose the best place is to take a look at where others traditionally go. That way, you can look at where many other couples have decided to take their first married trip, and see if one of these spots appeals to you.

According to surveyors at Modern Bride magazine, one place stands out above all others: Hawaii. Hawaii has long been a favorite of honeymooners, especially those couples coming from the United States, as there is much to see and do in this island paradise. No passport is required for those from the US (but one is required for many other island honeymoons), and the beautiful climate and native Polynesian culture, with traditions such as luaus and hula dancers, leis and fruity drinks served in coconuts makes this an island paradise worth visiting. While Hawaii is very popular, the resorts and accommodations are geared towards offering plenty of privacy and seclusion, perfect for newlyweds.

Destination number two is a bit more of a surprise. The second top spot is the country of Italy. Italy is not the exotic sunny island that many people picture for their trip, but it is definitely a romantic place. The canals of Venice, the historical sites of Rome and the romantic village charm of Florence make Italy a perfect honeymooning spot for many couples. Additionally, you can easily visit the rest of Europe. This can be a great idea for couples who want to do different things on their trip such as seeing historical sites and shopping the great cities of the European continent.

The remaining honeymooning destination spots are as follows:

3. Tahiti

4. Anguilla

5. Fiji

6. St. Lucia

7. Mexico

8. St. Bart's

9. Jamaica

10. France

No matter what you are looking for in a destination, whether you prefer relaxation to adventure, or seclusion to the bustle of cities, there is a place for you. A good place to start is with the locations listed above.

Honeymoon In Vegas (Movie Review)

2008-10-15T06:52:00.001-07:00

Honeymoon In Vegas (Movie Review)
By Britt Gillette

Jack Singer (Nicholas Cage) is forever haunted by a deathbed promise he made to his mother, giving his word that he would never get married. But the promise threatens to end his relationship with long-time girlfriend and true love Betsy (Sarah Jessica Parker). So Jack proposes and the couple decides to race off to Las Vegas and get married. However, their trip to Vegas is soon interrupted when Jack is set up in a poker game by professional gambler Tommy Korman (James Caan).

With a single hand of poker, Jack loses $65,000 to Korman who promises to forgive the debt in exchange for a single weekend with his fiance Betsy. Initially outraged at the setup, Jack sees the proposed solution as a way out of the debt, so he convinces Betsy to go along with the idea. But Jack soon becomes horribly jealous and changes his mind. When he goes to find Betsy, he's forced to fight against Korman and his minions who have arranged to keep Jack away permanently. Now, Jack must get to Betsy any way he can and tell her how much he loves her before Korman convinces her she's marrying the wrong man, and that the right man is no other than Korman himself

One of James Caan's best performances, the character of Tommy Korman comes off as a somewhat likeable guy even though he plays the role of antagonist to our hero. The best characters are those that are multi-dimensional, and the director creates a great environment which allows the various cast members to act out the emotions of their characters. Put together, these diverse characters interact in exciting and interesting ways, making Honeymoon In Vegas a fun and enjoyable film.

Featuring several Hollywood icons, Honeymoon In Vegas is a character-driven romantic comedy capable of holding its own with any film in its genre. Although it never experienced the widespread commercial success of some of its contemporaries, the film nevertheless maintains a high level of entertainment value. If you haven't seen Honeymoon In Vegas, then I highly recommend it. It's worth the time. Due to its exotic settings and a well-written screenplay, Honeymoon In Vegas is a definite must-see movie

Honeymoon In Ooty-Kodaikanal: Secluded In The Southern Hills
By Manoj Gursahani

Stroll around in the smoky hills and misty forests of Ooty or simply cuddle up amidst the serene ambience of the Kodaikanal Lake. There is the much-needed seclusion, a splash of luxury and an abundance of nature-a perfect way to kick-start your honeymoon.

For a quiet and secluded sojourn, Ooty is one of the best honeymoon destinations in India. It breathes of romance- from the fragrant winds blowing through the Nilgiris, the tranquil silence interrupted by the rusting trees to the enchanting hillside enveloped in swirling mists.

This Queen of hill stations boasts of an exotic spread of the elaborately landscaped Botanical gardens and the Doddabetta peak, with an incredible panorama of the Nilgiri hill ranges. Wander along the wisps of clouds that drift across the path, breathe in the fresh mountain air and capture the sights and smells, as you walk through the meadows of flowers. It is tranquil enough to get lost quiet amidst nature.

A seven-hour drive from Ooty will take you to Kodaikanal, tucked away among the Palani Hills of Tamil Nadu. Glimpse the vegetation change gradually from dense Eucalyptus, to palm-fringed paddy fields and finally to plantations interspersed with stately silver oaks.

Fall in love with the virginal beauty of the Kodaikanal, where the air is intoxicating, the ambience is breathtaking, and tranquillity unmatched with any other hill station. The star-shaped Kodai Lake dominates this sleepy hill station. Paddling in boat with your partner in this pristine shimmering sheet of water, fringed with trees creates an enchanting solace that you crave for. Speckled with charming picnic spots, surrounded by nature, you can immerse yourself in its perfect isolated charm.

For a tranquil ambience, romantic seclusion and precious tender moments, the unassuming beauty of Ooty and Kodaikanal is the perfect getaway for your honeymoon.

Essential Tips For Cheap Honeymoons

Essential Tips For Cheap Honeymoons
By Peter Morgan

The time is right for you to get married, but between the wedding, the reception, and the bridal party gifts, you're not sure how you're going to afford the honeymoon. The post-wedding celebration can often be quite expensive, but you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a great time. The cheap honeymoons can be just as memorable and enjoyable as an expensive one.

How can you have wonderful cheap honeymoons? Well, the easiest way to save money on this trip is to stay somewhere close to home. If you do this, you can save money on:

* Airfare

* Shuttle to and from the airport

* Parking fees if you park at the lot

* Passport application fees

Staying close to home on cheap honeymoons also means that you'll be much more likely to find a great deal. You have a better chance of knowing what prices are reasonable in your area and what so-called deals are little more than marketing. Another inexpensive honeymoons idea is to go on a road trip instead of flying. If you are the outdoorsy type, camping or even renting a cabin can be less expensive than many other types of honeymoon options.

Consider taking the train for the cheap honeymoons . This romantic mode of travel is also very comfortable and quite affordable. It gives the whole trip a kind of glamour that simply is not available with flying. You can take a sleeper train and save the money you would have spent on a night in a hotel. That means you could splurge and get a nicer room the next night.

Travel in the off-season for the cheap honeymoons . If you are getting married in February, don't honeymoon in Hawaii. Plan for a cozy week in a snug bed and breakfast rather than a beach trip to Hawaii. However, if you are getting married in September, check the rates for Hawaii. That's actually the off-season there, and you might find a good deal.

Keep your eyes open for spectacular package deals. They do still exist and can be a great way to the cheap honeymoons . Sometimes you can save big on a cruise or with an all-inclusive package. Get an interior cabin for your cruise. They cost a lot less, and have many of the same amenities.

An all-inclusive resort may be able to bundle your wedding ceremony, reception and honeymoon into one fee, which could be a lot lower than what you would pay separately. A wonderful, economical honeymoon can be yours, with just a little legwork.

The Best is Yet to Be After You Throw the Bouquet: Your Honeymoon

2008-10-08T15:36:00.001-07:00

The Best is Yet to Be After You Throw the Bouquet: Your Honeymoon
By Joy Cagil

Forty or more years ago, honeymoon spots were perfectly clear in people's minds, mostly as the Niagara Falls, Hawaii, or a neighborhood hotel for a few days stay. Even the stinkiest hotels had honeymoon suites, then. Only some couples belonging to the jet set had their honeymoons in Monaco or in some such place in Europe. In addition, it used to be that the groom chose the honeymoon site and surprised the bride.

With the honeymoon the new husband tacked on the lady, the bride of the olden days acted happy and delighted, but the trick word is acted here, and no one wants to start a marriage with an act. Being part of a couple deserves sincerity, and the honeymoon should be one both people will enjoy; therefore, the honeymoon would be more successful if the future bride and groom planned this important step into their marriage together.

A honeymoon is a serious event. It should be arranged with care and should be planned in advance.

As times have changed, so have the honeymoons. Nowadays, any one place in the entire world can be a honeymoon destination, and why not? If a couple have similar tastes and they both enjoy wildlife, why shouldn't they have their honeymoon with a rhinoceros peeking into their hut in Africa?

Joking aside, the decision for a honeymoon spot should start about half a year before the wedding or even earlier. The couple should decide together on the location of their honeymoon: a ski resort, a jungle, a local spot, a resort hotel, a city or town overseas, a beach, a mountaintop, or a cabin on a cruise ship.

The budget is also important, because a wedding is difficult on any family's budget as it is. The traditional way is: if the bride or the bride's parents are financing the wedding, the groom or the groom's parents finance the honeymoon. If both families are pitching in for both events, then the financial situation of the families should be the first consideration.

If a couple can come up with a budget they can work with, they should first write down the possible expenses as a list: transportation expenses including airplane or cruise tickets, car rentals, taxi rides, and sightseeing trips; lodging expenses including meals, tips, taxes, and extras; and incidentals. Incidentals depend where the couple is heading to. For example, if they are going to be trekking in the jungle, they will need boots, jungle wear, insect repellents, first aid kits, binoculars, etc.

Tour packages and all-inclusive honeymoon packages can be money and time savers if they contain everything the couple wants. If the couple is reserving a honeymoon package, they have to make sure the weather will fit their plans in the place they will go. For example, reserving a Caribbean cruise during the hurricane season could have dire results. Some promotional offers, too, may contain off-season bargains that may not fit with the couple's expectations, and the trip may not be refundable either. Key points like weather, refundability, and exchange of location possibilities should be cleared out, in writing, with the travel agent before any other arrangements are made.

A good travel agent should advise the couple in everything they need to do, like inoculations and documents for an out of the country location, and warn them of unsafe localities. Also, while perusing the colorful travel pamphlets, the couple should remember that those inviting photos are of the best-looking parts of their destination and the better rooms of the hotels.

Obtaining maps, brochures, and other details from the travel agent and the tourism bureaus is a good idea. Once everything is planned and all the information is put together in one easy-to-reach folder, double checking the reservations, packing lists, identifications and other necessities should be done again one week before the trip. Having enough knowledge and some kind of a plan will save the couple time and money and will prevent unnecessary hassles.

While a wedding is the time for a couple to take their vows, their honeymoon marks the beginning of their married life. More than where they go and what they do, a positive attitude and enjoying time together should be the goal.

May all honeymoons last a lifetime.

Honeymoon Registry! Or Why Not Just Ask for the Money?

Honeymoon Registry! Or Why Not Just Ask for the Money?
By Vlady Peters

Lets face it, your friends know that you and your partner are an established couple and you need another hot water jug like you need a hole in the head. Why bother with a Bridal Registry or, indeed with a Honeymoon Registry, when they are fully aware that what you really need at this time is hard, cold cash. And why not be up front with it and say so.

Its an undeniable fact that, apart from a few people who really hate shopping, guests like the idea of giving a couple something concrete; and enjoy having their thoughtfulness and generosity acknowledged. And money, valuable as it is, simply doesnt cut it. It has taken decades to acclimatize guests to the idea of a Bridal Registry. It may take couple more decades to make plain dollars as romantic as a traditional gift which a guest can admire before handing it over to the couple concerned.

Honeymoon Registry is a sort of transitory step where a guest parts with money, but is encouraged to feel that he or she is providing the bride and groom with a gift. The gift being the Honeymoon itself.

How does it work? The Honeymoon Registry is made into a concrete gift list by making the Honeymoon a categorized entity. Instead of the Honeymoon, a holiday for the bride and groom, its an airplane ticket, its two nights at the hotel, its a massage, its a candle lit supper, its a night out at the opera. In short, the Honeymoon becomes an event that has been cut up into small segments and guests can decide for which segment they are prepared to pay.

As in the case of a Bridal Registry, all courtesies are observed. Each guest receives an acknowledgement and thanks for the gift theyve given. This might be automatically generated by the provider concerned. Other providers might choose to inform the couple as the gifts are purchased and it is the couple who send the thank you note.

Planning Your Honeymoon Through the Internet

Planning Your Honeymoon Through the Internet
By Alma Lazarevich

When planning a trip there is no doubt about the great help that we can get through the internet, however, we have to be aware that this might not always be the right thing to do for certain kinds of trips.

It is not a secret that internet has replaced travel agents. A lot of people just want to get to their destination the best possible way for the cheapest price available. Nevertheless sometimes we need much more information than the alternatives the computers can provide us with, especially if we are planning a honeymoon, anniversary or a special vacation trip.

We need to know which airlines offer not only the best fares, but which are the most punctual, which have the best record regarding baggage handling, which have the most comfortable seats and the best service on board, etc.

And if we talk about hotels and resort destinations, we want to make sure that we talk to a person that has a lot of experience, who can really give us valuable advice about the location of the hotels or when choosing a beach destination, which hotel has the best beach, when is the rainy season or even worst hurricane season.

A lot of people assume that the weather will be good during summer vacation to a beach resort. On the contrary, in many places the rainy season starts by the end of May and it is over around October. Daily life is still enjoyable during the rainy season as rain falls for only a few minutes at a time and then the sun comes out. The possibility of a hurricane is another story, and that is why it is so important to be advised by the right person.

Do your planning in advance and keep in mind that a honeymoon takes place once in everyone's life. Do it the right way.

The Honeymoon Registry: When Having Another Toaster Oven Just Won't Do

2008-09-21T05:05:00.001-07:00

The Honeymoon Registry: When Having Another Toaster Oven Just Won't Do
By Janice Willingham

Because of the high costs involved in planning and having a wedding and not to mention a honeymoon, many couples are asking how can we ask for money to go towards our honeymoon without showing a total disregard for wedding etiquette? Additionally, many couples are already living together prior to getting married. For some, it may be a second marriage. As a result, the need for the usual household items as wedding gifts is not a need. The natural solution to the wedding gift giving dilemma is the popular and growing trend toward honeymoon registries.

The traditional way of gift giving has been to rely on the bridal registry. The honeymoon registry communicates to guests and well wishers where the couple would like to go on their honeymoon, the activities and extra amenities they would enjoy that would make their dream honeymoon a reality.

A honeymoon registry is much like a wedding registry. When you join a honeymoon registry, your chosen destination package is broken down into affordable pieces and listed just like a normal gift registry. What's so great and unique about the honeymoon registry is that it enables your wedding guests to purchase portions of your honeymoon. Yes, your guests can contribute toward your honeymoon, but in some cases giving a particular portion of the honeymoon--dinner at a nice restaurant, or a carriage ride, for example--is more meaningful.

There are three basic kinds of honeymoon registries:

*Registries that require you to book your travel through the travel agency offering the registry.

*Registries that allow you to book your travel either through the sponsoring travel agency (or other affiliated travel agencies), through the travel agency of your choice, or on your own. Usually these registries charge an extra fee or higher service charge if you choose not to book travel through the registry's parent travel agency.

*Registries that are not affiliated with any travel agencies, requiring you to make travel arrangements on your own or through a travel agency of your choice.

If a honeymoon registry sounds like the perfect solution for you, here is a quick guide to choosing, creating, and using one. Different registries offer various mixes of features and costs. Think about what is most important to you. Take a virtual tour of several different registries. Start by looking at a few examples of honeymoon registries. Look for professionalism. Does the site provide a thorough explanation of its services, including all fees and service charges? Does it explain who you can contact or what you can do if you run into problems? If the honeymoon registry is run by a travel agency, does the FAQ explain the company's policy for cancelled or delayed travel?

Consider contacting couples who have used the registry. You can find couples by looking up old honeymoon registries and doing a web search for their e-mail addresses. Or look for e-mail addresses associated with wedding home pages hosted by the registry service. Send a friendly e-mail explaining your situation and ask for advice; most couples will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Talk to someone from the registry service, either by phone or e-mail. If the registry service falls short on customer service when you're signing up, don't expect better service if a problem arises.

To create your honeymoon, you must first submit basic personal information such as your names, the date of the wedding, contact information, and so on. Then you create your registry, which is an itemized list of all your honeymoon expenses. Some registries charge a setup fee, which is usually between $100-$150; others charge nothing to the wedding couple, but charge wedding guests a service fee when they buy part of the honeymoon. Most honeymoon registry websites allow you to create your registry right away over the web. Other sites put you in touch with a representative who will assist you in creating your registry.

What can you list on your registry? If you can buy it, you can list it. Typical registries list transportation, lodging, activities, special amenities, and meals. Expensive items are usually broken down so guests can choose to pay only a portion of the item. For example, a honeymoon registry might list ten gifts of $100 each toward your $1,000 airfare expense.

Some honeymoon registries allow you to personalize your registry with a message to your guests and descriptions of the different parts of your honeymoon, perhaps even allowing you to upload pictures.

Once your registry is set up, you need to let your wedding guests know that it exists. Many registries will provide you with printed cards announcing the registry and its web address; you can either mail them with the wedding invitation or separately. Some registries will email your wedding guests if you provide their email addresses.

The more tactful approach is to let your guests know about your registry indirectly. Let your parents, close friends, or wedding party members know that you have a honeymoon registry; they can pass the word along to other guests and well wishers. You can also create a wedding web page with up-to-date information for guests, and include a link to your registry on that page and list the address of your wedding web page in your invitation without directly bringing up the issue of gifts.

Wedding guests can look up your registry by typing in your last name into a search box on the registry website. After reading what you want, they click on the item they want to purchase and pay for the items on the website. Most registries also allow guests to purchase items by phone.

The gift-giver usually receives a certificate that is either sent to the wedding couple or to the purchaser to deliver personally the couple. Some registries charge a fee to mail this certificate. Other registries notify the couple of the gift by e-mail. On any registry, you can track how many gifts you have received simply by logging into the registry.

It's important to note that most registries require guests to pay a service charge for the privilege of contributing to your honeymoon. The service charge is a percentage of the cost of the gift ranging from 3.5% to 15%. So if a guest wants to pay $100 toward your airfare and the honeymoon registry website imposes a 10% service charge, the guest will end up spending $110.

The wedding couple is ultimately responsible for paying for their honeymoon expenses which means any portion of the honeymoon that needs to be paid prior to the wedding will be at the wedding couple's expense. Some or all of those expenses could be purchased by your guests however; some of the honeymoon expenses are not completely covered by the registry. It's wise not to plan an extravagant honeymoon that you cannot pay for yourself.

Whatever money wedding guests contribute toward the honeymoon is placed in a holding account. The registry sends the couple a check (or electronically deposits the funds into their account) on a predetermined date, usually a week before the wedding. Even though the wedding guests paid for certain parts of the honeymoon, the couple can use the money for anything they want.

The End of the Google Honeymoon?

2008-09-18T09:06:00.001-07:00

The End of the Google Honeymoon?
By Paul Fisher

He sounded like the typical arch rival, but when Bill Gates announced to the world that the honeymoon with Google will only last a couple more years, did he have a point?

The world certainly has gone Google-Ga-Ga, with search, Gmail, Adwords, Analytics, Adsense and Toolbar causing a riotous storm. I have read countless news items and blogs proclaiming the march of Google onto the desktop as a curtain call for Microsoft. Google can now search within the local machine, will eventually power internet boxes as a replacement to Windows, and will eventually take control of the world!

Now, Im certainly not Google bashing, but this kind of talk strikes me as crazy. Google have a powerful and technologically advanced search application. They have constructed beautiful search architecture and packaged it into a winning business model. The launch of Adwords and Adsense was pure genius in a cost-per-click market that was staid and unconvincing, but I for one have serious doubts about the immediate impact of Google on Microsofts monopoly.

I use Adwords, Analytics and Adsense on a daily basis. All my email is combined into a Gmail account, which I read through Google Desktop Toolbar. Google is my search engine of choice, and all in all Im happy with my Google package.

But there are gripes, and theyre growing.

The Google interface is plain. Of course it is I hear you cry why would you want to clutter up such great technology with a cheap veneer? Well, for us technical minded folk maybe, but I know plenty of non-technical people (and, lets face it, there are billions of them) that find this very plain approach to be extremely counter-intuitive. Take Gmail for instance. Apart from a powerful search function, Gmail scores pretty low on the usability stakes. Most of the non-techie people I come into contact with (Im talking solicitors, teachers, middle managers fairly intelligent people) have ditched Gmail for the familiarity and usability of Hotmail. In Hotmail Microsoft supply an integrated and highly polished product that takes a novice by the hand and walks them up the garden path of email. It might not have 2 gigabytes of storage and a whacking great search function attached, but a couple of folders and a delete button seem to work pretty well for most folk. As I said, I use Gmail daily, but I can appreciate what these people are telling me. Of course we are talking about a beta product so lets not dwell on this one

Google accounts dont talk to each other. Often I will need to log into my Adwords, Adsense and Analytics account within minutes of each other and be required to log in separately for each one. This drives me mad! In Passport, Microsoft has streamlined the login process from within the desktop, opening up a whole suite of web based services in an extremely usable manner. Sometimes it feels like Google is trying to keep me out! Id love to see one centralized login from which all Google accounts can be accessed.

My point here is that people demand a user friendly, polished experience. Google are currently making it difficult for non-technical minded people to access the products on offer. A case in point can be seen in their help files. Just a couple of clicks into the Google Analytic help files will throw up numerous 404 error pages. Surely with such a powerful search facility a 404 should be unheard of. Why, instead of a 404 page does the king of search not provide me with a list of possible places or sites that might be able to help? To organize the worlds information unless it is unavailable so youll have to make do with a 404 error screen, sorry!

Google has grown very fast, and in some respects I feel that the company has been surprised by its own success. The exponential growth of Adwords has generated so much revenue that Google is just throwing money in various directions, building Yahoo 2.0 in the process. Many of Googles services are admirable. Google Search and Google Books have and will change the way that humans store and retrieve information. But Google is not a rival to Microsoft. In fact, given a couple of years, it could be Google that is threatened. Google has a killer model in the Search-Adwords-Adsense triangle. They dont need any other services to survive in a financial sense, so perhaps we should just be grateful they are providing some of these services for free. But I for one hope that Google take time to consolidate and improve the usability of their products before they start chasing yet loftier aspirations. Google is powerful, but it is failing engage those who dont take to technology as readily as others. Sure, you can organise the worlds information but let everyone get at it when you have.

I dont want the honeymoon with Google to end, but I sense that its about to. Lets just hope they put in the work required to make a marriage work!

Best Honeymoon Getaway Ideas
By Low Jeremy

Planning for your honeymoon getaway? Here are some ideas you can consider that will surely provide you the best honeymoon experience:

Top-of-the-line Hotel Honeymoon

After the guests have left, it is time for both of you two enjoy each other. Book at one of the top-of-the-line hotels you can find whether on your area or at one of the best places in the world. There is surely a great difference between staying at top hotels and staying at a regular hotel. Top hotels have bigger, cleaner, and luxurious room. The staffs are more accommodation and are ready to provide their services to your satisfaction. The foods are carefully prepared. All these you can get if you decide to spend your honeymoon in one of the top hotels.

Honeymoon Cruise

If exploring the seven seas is your dream, then, take yourself one step closer to fulfilling it by going on a honeymoon cruise. Not only you will get the chance to see several places (depending on the type of cruise you choose), you can see them without spending your energy traveling long hours. Your suite is also the one that will take you to different places. You and your couple can enjoy the night sky, sleep at any time of the night, spend the day embracing each other, and savoring the views presented by the cruise.

Beach Honeymoon

Whether you choose to spend your honeymoon in the Caribbean, Miami beach, Hawaii, Fiji, or any tropical paradise around the world, one thing is certain: you and your couple will certainly get the relaxing feeling and will savor every second of your stay at the beach.

Winter Honeymoon

Your honeymoon getaway could be at the slopes doing winter sports all day. Spend your honeymoon skiing, snowboarding, and other snow related activities if you choose this kind of honeymoon getaway.

European Honeymoon

Seeing the magnificence of European art, architecture, and sight is another better way to spend your honeymoon. Set your honeymoon in France and feel the charm of the country. Go to Italy and visit places of interest. Roam Europe and witness the different culture.

Weekend Honeymoon

If you want it short but lasting, you can also pack for the weekend at one of the places you and your partner love to go or would dream of going.

These are some honeymoon getaways ideas you can consider. But with places and other unique ideas you can go and think of, the possibilities are endless.

Plan a Honeymoon in a Private Villa

2008-09-14T07:54:00.001-07:00

Plan a Honeymoon in a Private Villa
By Natalie Aranda

When celebrities get married and go on a honeymoon, they most often stay in private villas. You may think this is something that only the fabulously wealth can afford, but that is simply not the case.

Spending your honeymoon in a private villa can be more affordable than you think. Like any other accommodations, there is quite a range of prices depending on the size and amenities of the location.

Planning a honeymoon in a private villa is often not difficult. This is because most villas offer some sort of package deal where you can get food service, as well as tour guides to take you around the area. Tuscany villas are some of the most beautiful in the world, as they combine beautiful historical architecture with all of the modern amenities.

In fact, picking what amenities are important to you is pretty much the hardest decision you will need to make when planning your villa honeymoon. You will be pleasantly surprised at how many amenities are available to you when you stay in a private villa. Villas in Tuscany often feature private pools, historical furnishings, and beautiful views. If you enjoy the outdoors, youll find villas that are located near the water, skiing or golf courses. Of course, the activities will vary depending on where you stay, as Tuscany villa rentals might offer things that villas in another area may not.

You will want to decide whether you want maid service and whether you plan to utilize a chef to prepare your meals. Some villas come with kitchens that you can use, while others might just have a fridge or microwave. If you require any accommodations such as handicap access, make sure you call ahead or check with your travel agency to make sure your needs are met. Some villas allow you to bring your pets while others do not. If you are a smoker, youll want to check on the smoking policy of the villa as well. Do you need to get online while you are away? Check into what internet access is available.

Once you have an idea of the activities you want to do and the amenities you need, you can start looking at pictures of various villas. Villas vary greatly both in size and in the number of people they will accommodate. For this reason, they are good for private honeymoons as well as housing large families. If you have a destination wedding, you might consider renting a villa for your guests and then a separate one for you and your spouse. Either way, staying in a villa can offer you unmatched privacy and exquisite accommodations in a beautiful setting. It will help provide the perfect start to your new life together.

We're on our Honeymoon but not Alone

2008-09-12T13:24:00.001-07:00

We're on our Honeymoon - but not Alone
By Vlady Peters

When Zsa Zsa Gabor she of the I have never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back fame was planning her ninth honeymoon, she did have some problems.

Darling, he would say, how about Hotel La Fonda, at Santa Fe? It is so romantic, historical and utterly charming.'

But, darleenk, she would reply, Im sure I was there with husband number one, or number two, or anyway, darleenk, with either one or the other.

What about a trip on Venice Simplon Orient Express, then? Its unbelievably luxurious.

Everyone does that Express theenk, darleenk.

You mean, youve done it, darling.

I told you everyone does it.

Though only much married couples would truly appreciate this dilemma, it is to their credit that they are getting a handle on it.

Time was when a divorce was a kiss of death to any civilized communication ever after between the two partners. They would refuse to attend the same party, or the same wedding, or the same anything. If by some accident they saw each other walking down the same street, they would either cross to the other side, or spit in each others eye.

That was fine when people were just discovering divorce. Now, with couples appearing at court hearings as frequently as at their favourite restaurants, holding grudges is just too much of a chore.

Considering that some marriages last six hours, and some couple of days, it probably gets difficult to distinguish between the various spouses anyway.

To their credit, couples are becoming quite reconciled to their situations. After all, they may have had children from that marriage, or inherited a couple from another marriage, so animosity for the rest of your life is simply not an option.

The last wedding I attended, not only was the ex wife and her children seated prominently in the front row, apparently when it came to the honeymoon itself, it comprised husband and wife, his ex wife, and their four children. After all, they reasoned, the kids would never get another such opportunity to see the Great Pyramid of Giza, and they were just at that age when theyd really appreciate the trip.

Times they certainly are a changing.

Preparing for the Honeymoon Trip

2008-09-11T16:15:00.001-07:00

Preparing for the Honeymoon Trip
By Low Jeremy

Preparing for the wedding alone is already a headache. But it does not mean that you disregard the preparation for your honeymoon trip. Since wedding does not end after the exchange of vows, preparing for the honeymoon trip is equally important with preparing the wedding. And since this trip is the best time for you to spend your first days together as husband and wife, it should be taken into great account.

To make your honeymoon preparation less worrisome, here are some tips you can follow:

Plan ahead of time

Preparation should begin early. If you want to go to a honeymoon trip after the wedding celebration, then you should have already prepared for it long before the wedding day. Meanwhile if you will go to a honeymoon trip weeks after your wedding day, it is not an excuse to plan late. Preparing for the wedding day is also not an excuse to plan after the wedding. Everything should be prepared. Make sure you have already determined or have booked and made reservation on the location of your trip.

Create a checklist of everything

If the schedule is hectic and there is so much to do, you surely would forget some important things. Do avoid this from happening; create a checklist of everything you need to prepare. This does not only go with the honeymoon trip; it should also apply to the whole wedding preparation itself.

Finalize your travel documents

Make sure that your travel documents are all set before your honeymoon trip. Doing this early would save you a lot of trouble when the day closes near. If you are traveling outside the country, if is advisable to complete all your travel documents and keep them in a safe place.

Confirm your booking and reservation

Booking your flight and accommodation is not enough. You should confirm them days before you go. Making sure that everything is set and prepared once you arrive should be your primary concern.

Relax

After you’re stressful wedding preparation, you surely would not want to add pressure on your head. Keep in mind that one reason why you are going for a honeymoon trip is to relax, so you should relax. There is no reason why you should make the preparation for your honeymoon trip troublesome. Wedding preparation is stressful enough. You should not add some more.

Honeymoon Heaven

2008-09-10T23:26:00.001-07:00

Honeymoon Heaven
By Emily Tanner

So many couples are finding the cost of their wedding so extortionate that they are having to make cutbacks in vital areas and its usually the honeymoon that suffers.

Every last penny is spent on lavish venues, hand-tied bouquets, opulent dress fabrics, extravagant menus, state of the art discos, novel favours and award-winning photographers. But, when it comes to splashing out on the holiday of a lifetime - your first as man and wife packed with lots of guilt free indulgences - why do you feel the need to compromise?! It seems as though wedding guests are treated like royalty leaving the happy couple to start their married life as paupers. Theres plenty of time for being penniless later - like when youve got 6 kids to feed and a hefty mortgage!

The honeymoon is such a vital part of a wedding celebration and the perfect end to all the excitement and build up of the big day. But, its also the start of something special. Its the beginning of your marriage and therefore should be marked with a wonderful holiday. Saving money by not having a proper honeymoon will always be regretted. Make cutbacks everywhere else - give your guests chicken rather than caviar and they probably wont even notice - but dont scrimp on the holiday!Pack your groom off to the nearest travel agents and make sure you both get the honeymoon you deserve. You can then buy your Just Married Rhinestone Bikini and relish every moment of twinkling by the sea!

Before You Honeymoon In Costa Rica

2008-09-10T04:00:00.001-07:00

Before You Honeymoon In Costa Rica
By Kathleen Terrana

There are many online companies that offer romantic honeymoon getaways on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of Costa Rica. Having just returned from Costa Rica myself, I would like to offer some suggestions that you probably will not find online or in a guidebook.

When we planned our trip, we assumed that most people in Costa Rica would understand English fairly well. At several hotels, the front desk clerks spoke practically no English. The same goes for bus drivers. The staff at the car rental agency spoke the best English. They were able to give us needed recommendation for food and site seeing. I highly recommend translating some key Spanish phrases before your trip, such as Where is the bank, bathroom, hotel?

The Pan American Highway runs through Costa Rica and is a reliable, well-paved road. However, many side roads in Costa Rica are very bad and full of deep potholes. I recommend that when you rent a car, take out the full coverage (usually an additional $20 per day on top of the regular fee). When you take the side roads, you need to allow more time to reach your destination. In some cases you may be only going 25 miles per hour.

Colones are the national currency and are very easy to translate into American dollars. If an item says 5,000 colones, just drop the 3 zeros and multiply the other number by 2. In other words, 5,000 colones is equal to 10 American dollars. If you need to convert other currency into colones, you can do that online at www.xe.com/ucc/ (Universal Currency Converter).

The rainy season in Costa Rica runs from May through December. Hotels are cheaper and there are fewer people on the roads and in the restaurants. My husband and I traveled in September, and experienced rain on only a few days of our trip. It would rain heavily for about one hour and then stop completely. We would spend the time indoors having a lovely Costa Rican lunch, and by the time we finished the rain was gone.

Bring a good camera and lots of film. Because of the rain, you will see some of the most beautiful exotic plants and flowers. The volcanoes are breathtaking and you can even hear the rumbling. The waterfalls are located off of the side roads, so drive slowly and allow more time. Even in the cities, you will want to photograph the ornate wrought iron that covers all the windows and patios in Costa Rica. After your honeymoon, you will want to have some of these amazing pictures enlarged to put in your new home.

Last Minute Honeymoon Cruise Options

2008-09-09T16:53:00.001-07:00

Last Minute Honeymoon Cruise Options
By Kenneth Koch

Cruises booked at the last minute may be stressful to plan, but are still an enjoyable vacation option. If you are planning to elope or just enjoy being spontaneous, a last minute cruise may be just the thing for you.

Last Minute Cruise Deals Finding the Bargains
You must be flexible if you are on the lookout for last minute cruises. If you are looking for a specific itinerary or departure date, then a last minute cruise may not be right for you. On the other hand, if you are fine with not knowing where you will be sailing up to nearly the last minute, then let the search for last minute cruises begin!

Travel agents are the best resource for finding last minute cruise package deals. An agent specializing in cruises will be able to inform you of last minute discounts, offers, and cruise availability. By visiting the cruise lines website, you can learn about exclusive special deals and last minute cruise offers. If you need to know about departure dates, itineraries, and departure points as early as possible, it is best to check back with the sites frequently in order to make arrangements as soon as the last minute cruises become available.

Keep in mind that your cabin selection will be limited when booking a last minute cruise. In addition, you will probably have less than a month to prepare for your cruise. If you are flexible, however, you will be able to have a great time on your cruise, even if you are not staying in a luxury cabin.

Benefits and Pitfalls of Last Minute Cruise Packages
Despite the monetary savings of last minute cruises, there are a number of additional benefits to this type of honeymoon cruise. First of all, it is fun, spontaneous and wild. If you are eloping, this fits in perfectly with the experience. In addition, you might embark on a journey to a location you would never have thought of visiting if not for the last minute cruise discount. This can result in an eye-opening experience as you visit countries or islands you never dreamed of seeing.

Of course, if you are someone that needs to have your honeymoon cruise well planned out in advance, a last minute cruise is probably not right for you. You most likely will not have the time to explore the shore excursion options available with the cruise, let alone to book them ahead of time. You also might get stuck in a small and cramped cabin that includes bunk beds, which is not particularly romantic for a honeymoon cruise. You also will probably be unable to add special packages, such as honeymoon cruise packages, to a last minute cruise deal.

If you have no problem with making last minute honeymoon cruise arrangements of it the thought even excites you a little than a last minute cruise deal is a good choice for you!

B and B Honeymoons Top 10 Myths Put to Bed

2008-09-08T06:00:00.001-07:00

B and B Honeymoons - Top 10 Myths Put to Bed
By Allison DeCongelio

The number of couples choosing bed & breakfasts for their honeymoon is on the rise. Perhaps its the high cost of gas and airline tickets forcing couples to consider celebrating their love closer to home or maybe its simply that the word is out that B&Bs are travels best kept secret. For those who never considered or who dont understand the intimate personalization of creating honeymoon memories at a bed & breakfast, BnBFinder.com, a leading online bed & breakfast directory, puts to rest 10 common myths about honeymoon romance at B&Bs.

Myth #1: B&Bs Are Cheap And Second-Rate
Fact: While there are many values offered by bed and breakfasts that can make them an economical alternative to other accommodations, B&B guests find upscale amenities such as luxury linens, fresh flowers, fine china and gourmet candlelit breakfasts amenities and special touches not found even at higher priced hotels.

Myth #2: Breakfast Is Family Style With Other Guests
Fact: Many bed and breakfasts have restaurant style seating so you and your sweetheart can have a romantic dining experience at a table of your own or breakfast in bed, usually without the expense of room service! At the Deerhill Inn (West Dover, VT), the Wine, Dine & Romance Package includes fresh flowers, champagne and chocolates waiting in your room upon your arrival, dinner for two and a full country breakfast served in bed the next morning.

Myth #3: Shared Bathrooms
Fact: A long believed myth about bed and breakfasts is that guests must share common bathrooms. Its time to uncover the truth! According to the Professional Association of Innkeepers International, 95% of inns include a private bath and many now offer private in-room Jacuzzis for two.

Myth #4: Bed And Breakfasts Are Only For Older Couples
Fact: In a recent poll, innkeepers reported the average age of honeymooners is between twenty and thirty. Inns across the country are welcoming honeymooners from recent high school graduates to great grandparents, so there is something for everyone!

Myth #5: Limited Privacy
Fact: Many bed and breakfasts maintain a quiet, romantic, mature atmosphere for their adult guests and often have policies prohibiting children. Innkeepers have also taken into account thin walls and squeaky staircases by soundproofing, remodeling and updating older homes.

Myth #6: Fattening, Unhealthy Breakfasts
Fact: Since breakfast is a highlight of most B&B stays, mention any special dietary preferences when booking an inn. Many inns are adjusting their portion sizes and now serve healthy dishes such as fruit, oatmeal, and low-fat or low-carb items. Enjoy the fact that you are eating a delicious breakfast that the chefs pride themselves in (innkeepers are usually happy to share their signature recipes with you to make at home).

Myth #7: B&Bs Are Just A Room And Boring
Fact: On the contrary, many bed and breakfast inns provide activities for their guests, free of charge, or have deals with local vendors to offer guests discounted rates. Because of their size, bed and breakfasts are able to offer individualized activities and personal service. Depending on the time of year you plan to visit, there will be an array of things to do. Biking, skiing, golf, tennis and boating are just some activities that can be personally arranged by the inn.

Myth #8: Only Breakfast Is Served At A B&B
Fact: Dont let the name fool you! Even though they are called bed and breakfasts many inns offer lunch and dinner la carte. For a romantic twist, ask the innkeeper to pack a picnic lunch for you to take on your day trip. The Inn at Thorn Hill (Jackson, NH) includes a picnic lunch with their Ultimate Relaxation Package (the package also includes spa treatments, breakfast in bed and more!)

Myth #9: Spa Services Are Not Available At Small Inns
Fact: Bed and breakfasts offer a multitude of additional services. For the ultimate honeymoon experience, inquire about spa services offered at many B&Bs. Some inns offer special pricing packages at local salons and others offer spa treatments onsite. The Barley Sheaf Farm Estate & Spa (Holicong, PA) offers a unique spa experience. The private in-suite treatment rooms offer guests the opportunity to experience the exceptional natural herbal spa treatments in the privacy of their own suite.

Myth #10: B&Bs Dont Offer Discount Pricing
Fact: Many bed and breakfasts offer special honeymoon packages. Celebrate your special occasion at the Brierley Hill Inn (Lexington, VA), where you can stay in one of their luxurious suites, each with whirlpool tub and fireplace. Their honeymoon package includes a chilled bottle of champagne (or sparkling cider), a delicious wine and cheese basket, as well as fresh flowers in your suite. Your breakfasts will be candle-lit, at anytime you choose with full silver service by the fireplace in the dining room.

From chocolate and roses to spa treatments, inns put together packages to entice every taste and personality. If its gourmet food and wine, couples massage, and your own private suite in a stunning location that most appeals, there is a Bed and Breakfast inn that can fulfill your every desire. You and your sweetheart can decide together whether you want to get out for a horse drawn carriage or sleigh ride or just soak in a private in-room Jacuzzi tub then snuggle under the covers with milk and freshly baked cookies.

Winter Honeymoon Ideas

Winter Honeymoon Ideas
By Richard Rspad

Given the heat of summer, more and more people are turning to winter weddings. This makes winter honeymoons a subject you need to give some consideration to when doing your planning.

When you picture your honeymoon, you might think of tropical islands and ocean breezes. How about just a beachside resort or some other warm weather retreat? While these are all good ideas, not everyone one gets married in the summer or is interested in lounging on the sand. So, what is a couple to do who is getting hitched in December and would rather have adventure than pure relaxation? Here are some ideas that are sure to please your more adventurous side.

One idea that is the ski resort honeymoon. Whether you love to ski or just want to learn how, these resorts can be a perfect mix of romance and outdoor activity. One such resort is the Mont Tremblant Ski Resort in Quebec, Canada. This resort was voted one of the best ski bargains in North America, but it definitely doesn't have a bargain feel. Mont Tremblant is a ski resort town with quaint shops and many restaurants lining the small streets of downtown. If you want to stay in the most romantic and luxurious spot in town, the Fairmont Tremblant is a five star hotel with a spa, fantastic cuisine and bars and entertainment for your nighttime pleasure.

Another ski resort that makes it into the list is the Heavenly Valley Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. This resort has gondolas that travel up 9,100 feet a perfect height to spend some alone time with your new spouse. Also available at the resort are soaks in natural hot springs, skiing (of course!) and romantic sleigh rides. This resort offers such amenities as a picnic up at 9,000 feet and a hot air balloon ride that you will never forget as you look over the snow capped peaks. The gaming tables of Lake Tahoe are close at hand if you want to try your luck at gambling. If you really enjoy trying lady luck, most of the casinos have hotels offering honeymoon packages. If you prefer a more secluded honeymoon experience, there are plenty of condos and homes for rent on a short-term basis in the area.

Most newlyweds want their honeymoon to be a knockout. If you fall in this category, there is no better destination than Switzerland. Well, if you can afford it. Prices are expensive, but a week in Interlaken is the stuff of movies. Located between the lakes of Breinz and Thun, this is a small city that feels like a Swiss village. You can stay in private Swiss chalets, eat fondue and take romantic walks under the snow capped mountains that tower over the area.

If you are considering an off-season wedding, you need to give some thought about your honeymoon. Now you have.

Besides, when you reach your destination, you can relax all you want and with the economy seat in the plane instead of the first class seat, you can be sure that you will save hundreds of dollars for you and your new spouse's plane tickets.

When booking your accommodation, try to book it online. You will see that there will be discounts for online booking and you can also have a lot more choices of accommodations. This means that you can still experience luxury accommodations at cheaper rates when you book online.

Honeymoon Heaven for Brides on a Budget
By Jessica Howe

Planning your first holiday as newlyweds is, for most couples, one of the highlights of wedding planning. And with a little foresight you wont need to take out that second mortgage to afford the trip of a lifetime. Heres how to have an unforgettable honeymoon whatever your budget.

1.Ask guests to buy honeymoon vouchers instead of wedding gifts. They can either pay money into a specially set up honeymoon bank account or purchase flight vouchers from the airline youll be travelling with.

2. Pay for your wedding expenses by credit card and use the frequent flier points you accumulate for your honeymoon.

3. Postpone your trip so you have more time to save up for it. This will give you both something to look forward to after all the excitement of the wedding has died down.

4. Holiday somewhere close to home so you can splash out on accommodation, fine dining and romantic day trips.

5. Look into holiday packages which include flights, accommodation and meals. Many of these offer excellent value so ask your travel agent for details.

6. Book your honeymoon last minute. You wont get as much choice on destination, but you will be able to take advantage of some great last minute discounts and the element of surprise may add to the fun.

7. Think of little things you can do to make your trip extra special. Pack some massage oil and candles, surprise your new husband with a candlelit dinner on the beach or secretly arrange that room upgrade to a suite with a spa bath. Wherever you are, these thoughtful details will be truly appreciated and are bound to make the start of married life seem even more romantic.

All Inclusive Caribbean Honeymoons

2008-09-06T18:26:00.001-07:00

All Inclusive Caribbean Honeymoons
By Andrew Bicknell

Probably one of the most appealing honeymoons for most people is a trip to a tropical Caribbean island. And one of the easiest ways for the soon to be newlyweds to plan their after wedding trip is to look at all inclusive Caribbean honeymoons. There is one little problem though.

How do you choose which Caribbean island you want to spend your honeymoon on? After all, there are over 7000 Caribbean islands that you can choose from. Well not all 7000, not all of them are inhabited, but thats still a lot of possible destinations to choose from. And each of these islands, whether big or small, has its own cultural flavor that will have an appeal for just about everyone. And the best part is almost all the islands boast at least one all inclusive resort that is ideal for a honeymoon.

There are three easy steps to follow when it comes to planning an all inclusive Caribbean honeymoon.

1. Choose an Island As mentioned above there is a lot to choose from but somewhere in that group of islands is one that will be a perfect fit for the newlywed couple. With such a wide diversity of islands available that no matter what the couple likes to do they will find one that fits what they are looking for. Of course all of them are great if you like lounging on the beach, enjoying water sports and just plain relaxing.

If you are looking for the total Caribbean honeymoon experience then Jamaica may be the way to go. It is a big island with large cities that offer everything more metropolitan areas are known for, including shopping and clubbing until all hours of the morning. You can also get away from it all by taking hikes in lush tropical forests and climbing warm cascading waterfalls with deep plunge pools for swimming. Jamaica also has an abundance of all inclusive resorts that make honeymoon planning very simple.

If intimacy and seclusion are more of what is needed then any of the number of smaller islands will fit the bill. Culebra and Dominica are two such islands that are off the beaten path. There isnt a whole lot to do there other than enjoy the warm Caribbean waters and lounge the days away in blissful peace with each other.

2. Choose an All Inclusive Resort Just as there are many islands to choose from so are there resorts to choose from. One thing to look for are adults only or couples only resorts that cater exclusively to couples getting away for romantic holidays. You can also be assured that if you do choose a couples only resort that you will not have to deal with families and rambunctious kids during this romantic time together.

3. Get packing Once the reservations are set and the trip is paid for all you have to do is get your bags packed and ready to go. Thats the beauty of all inclusive Caribbean honeymoons; everything is included in the price of the package. This includes meals, drinks, resort activities, beach privileges and water sports, entertainment and a whole lot more.

Taking all inclusive Caribbean honeymoons is easy. The hard part is figuring out which island to go to and then ultimately which resort offers the amenities and activities, or lack thereof, the newlywed couple is interested in. But no matter which island and resort you choose taking a Caribbean honeymoon at an all inclusive resort is one of the most romantic and intimate settings you can find.

Are you ready to take a Caribbean honeymoon? If you are and you need more information about all inclusive Caribbean honeymoons check out the website Honeymoon Destinations.

A Honeymoon Safari Challenge

2008-09-05T16:33:00.001-07:00

A Honeymoon Safari Challenge
By Charlotte Opperman

Four countries and six locations (including river, beach, Delta, desert and coast) in eighteen days sounds more like a challenge for charity than an enjoyable and inspiring holiday. But thats the sum of a fabulous trip we recently arranged for Stephen and Bryony Wolf on their honeymoon. Always of the opinion that a well paced trip does not include too many countries, too many locations and too few nights in one place, we felt challenged by the request to include Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa in one itinerary.

After three days relaxing at the River Club on the banks of the Zambezi close to Victoria Falls, a short flight took them to Chiefs Camp in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Located in the Mombo concession, game viewing here is incredible with very dense animal concentrations particularly predators. A short hop by light aircraft to Maun was followed by a direct flight to the Namibian capital Windhoek. Here they had a one night stop at Hilltop House a simple but comfortable bed and breakfast. And then onto the three night Schoemans fly-in safari, a legend in itself providing some of the most extraordinaryvisions of the Skeleton Coast, Damaraland and Kaokoland accompanied by guides who have lived and breathed this part of Namibia since birth.

Next came another flight, this time to Johannesburg and an overnight at our favourite boutique style hotel, Ten Bompas, only a short drive from the airport.

The finale to their spectacular holiday was a four night stay at Rocktail Bay Lodge on the Indian Ocean coast of South Africa. A great beach location, wild and safari-like, with wide open beaches and superb diving and snorkelling.

A great challenge and a great trip.

Charlotte Opperman first visited Africa on honeymoon in Kenya, when a love of Africa (and hopefully her husband) was born. She has since visited Botswana, Namibia and the Seychelles. Charlotte has also tested a number of our trips with her husband and two sons. So far they have visited Mauritius, South Africa (twice) and Kenya, so she is a great person to talk to if wanting to travel to Africa with children. A keen horsewoman Charlotte rides and competes regularly, and has ridden in both Southern and East Africa. Her desire for comfort in unspoilt surroundings makes her a good yardstick when planning a safari for many of our clients. Her close attention to detail ensures our clients never leave home unprepared.

Choose Your Honeymoon In Hawaii For The Time Of Your Life

Choose Your Honeymoon In Hawaii For The Time Of Your Life
By Darlene Berkel

Hawaii is known worldwide as paradise on earth and for a good reason, it truly is everything it promises and more. Choosing your honeymoon in Hawaii will ensure you start your life together with great adventures and make wonderful memories to cherish a lifetime.

Any Hawaiian Destination Is A Great Pick

You cannot go wrong when picking any of the Hawaiian islands as they are all exquisite and simply out of this world. If you choose to fly into Honolulu and, from there, take a cruise to the other islands, it would be the ideal way to go about your honeymoon in Hawaii as each island has something different to offer and for you to discover.

Kauai, the garden island will offer you what every honeymooner wants, peace and quiet; surrounded by green pastures and pristine sceneries you can both indulge into doing nothing but enjoy each others company away from the daily hustle and bustle. Kauai also has the miniature version of the Grand Canyon of their own known as the Waimea Canyon where movies such as Jurassic Park was filmed.

Maui, which is also my favorite, offers a bit of everything: the north shore if you feel adventurous and feel like getting on the surf board has the worlds best surfers crowding its waters, in downtown Maui, you have the seafront where any moment can turn into a romantic memory and its vast cultural activities offers activities for any day or evening.

Booking The Right Hotel

In order to have the right honeymoon in Hawaii, you will need to research and book your hotel rooms in advance because, in some of these cities such as Kauai, there is limited availability of space. The best way to find and book the right hotel is to research online and find out which one of them will suit your budget and requirements the best.

There are many honeymoon specials as Hawaii is a destination highly in demand by honeymooners and it is easy to understand why.

Honeymoon In Hawaii. Its The Right Beginning

A honeymoon in Hawaii is the right beginning for any couple as it offers new places to discover and explore together, the peace and quiet where you can reflect on the life you are about to begin together as well as new adventures and excitement that you have never encountered before.

Choosing the Best Honeymoon Destination

2008-09-04T22:20:00.001-07:00

Choosing the Best Honeymoon Destination
By Andrew Bicknell

For the newlywed couple their honeymoon should be the most second most memorable event of their new life together right after their wedding. And after all the craziness that a wedding involves picking the best honeymoon destination is very important. It is important to remember that this may well be the happy couple first real extended time away from their everyday life and should be a time of romance, relaxation and of course loads of fun. By choosing the right honeymoon destination they will be sure to remember this time of their lives together with fond memories.

It does take some planning to find the best honeymoon destination because it requires a destination that combines the interests of both people. It makes no sense to plan a honeymoon that only appeals to one of the newlyweds. For instance, planning a honeymoon at an all inclusive golf resort may be lots of fun for the male half if he enjoys playing golf all day but its not very appealing to the bride to be if she doesnt like to play golf and theres not much else to do there. Take the likes and expectations of both people into consideration when making a possible list of destinations.

One of the first things to take into consideration when trying to find the best honeymoon destination is what do the soon to be newlyweds enjoy doing together. Do they enjoy going snow skiing and the quiet solitude of the mountains in winter. If so consider a quiet mountain lodge with quick and easy access to the slopes of a major ski resort. On the other end of the climate spectrum are those who prefer the warmth of sun, sand, and the sea. Taking a tropical cruise with exotic ports of call or going to a tropical island for an extended stay can leave the couple feeling refreshed and relaxed, not to mention the amount of quality alone time they can enjoy.

Another point to consider is the couples desire to visit a certain country or culture. Is there one particular place they have always talked about visiting? What better time then their honeymoon to make that dream come true. When looking at these types of honeymoon destinations be sure to look for packages that feature great accommodations as well as some sort of tour or guide service that will allow the couple the opportunity to visit and learn about that place they have always dreamed of going to.

Does the couple enjoy being well taken care of or are they more of a pair of free spirits. Their personality will say a lot about what the best honeymoon destination for them may be. If they like to be pampered then a hotel or resort that prides itself on its guest services will be perfect for them. If they are more independent and dont need all the pampering consider a more laid back destination that still provides quality services but gives the couple time and room to do their own thing.

Remember that the honeymoon is about the couple and it is therefore important to choose a destination that offers an interesting getaway for both of the newlyweds. Their destination is the backdrop against which they start their married lives together and should create lasting memories. In the end choosing the best honeymoon destination is a personal choice that the soon to be married couple will agree will begin their marriage with class and style.

To start choosing the best honeymoon destination visit the website Honeymoon Destinations.

Your Caribbean Honeymoon

2008-09-04T21:26:00.001-07:00

Your Caribbean Honeymoon
By Jeanette Shinn

When the wedding is over after the music, the food, and the celebrating with your family and friends dim to memory, its time to start the honeymoon. After youve given those Swarovski Crystal and Pearl Bracelets with Engraved Monogram Charm to your bridesmaids and a Moon Shadow Jewelry Set, like the set you were wearing during your ceremony, to your maid of honor after all the details that make up your wedding day are complete, its time to begin what should be the trip of a lifetime your honeymoon.

Oh, no doubt youll take other trips on which you may have more money to burn and perhaps even more time to travel, but your honeymoon is a trip you will remember long after the others have faded from your memories. Thats just the way it is. So enjoy it. Make the most of it.

Making the most of your honeymoon opportunities means taking a little time to dream and research the possibilities. Yes, you could let your husband to be take care of all those details like once was the practice, but for the same reason that you worked to get him involved in the decision making process of planning your wedding you should be involved in the process of planning your honeymoon.

What is that reason? Simple. Its your honeymoon. Both of you are going to look back on the wedding and the honeymoon as something we did, so make the planning of your honeymoon something we do too!

What sounds good to you? When you think of your honeymoon what comes to mind? White sandy beaches? Eating seafood on a deck overlooking the clear aqua blue waters of the sea while the warm salty breeze filters through your hair? Perhaps you think of lush tropical foliage on a hillside overlooking the sea. If so, perhaps a Caribbean honeymoon package is for you!

Imagine long lazy days in your honeymoon beach front resort sitting on a beach in the Bahamas listening to the waves with the one you love at your side. Imagine strolling hand in hand through the Jamaican marketplace while listening to local music before heading back to your all inclusive Caribbean honeymoon resort. Imagine capturing a glimpse of a dive to recover sunken pirates treasure. Imagine the adventure of exploring a culture so different from our own, yet strikingly similar too. Imagine sharing all of these experiences with the person you love most in the world.

Thats a honeymoon.

Perhaps you would prefer to spend your honeymoon exploring the exquisitely manicured grounds of Parc des Floralies or the Morne Rogue Cathedral, both of which are just a small sampling of the rich history of culture and beauty that is Martinique and weve only touched on a few of the many islands of the Caribbean for you and your new husband to spend your honeymoon exploring and, more importantly, building honeymoon memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Honeymooners Most Popular Destinations

2008-09-03T15:43:00.001-07:00

Honeymooners Most Popular Destinations
By Celia Namart

One of the most well known traditions following a wedding is to take a trip to one of the popular honeymoon destinations in the world. It is estimated that 99% of newlyweds will engage in some sort of honeymoon package. The most popular honeymoon destinations are usually places that people often vacation at, such as Hawaii and other tropical locations. The purchase of a honeymoon package is much different than a vacation because newlyweds spend thousands of dollars more for this special event.

Choosing a honeymoon package is quite important and once selected, a newly married couple will join the ranks of a $12 billion-dollar-per-year industry, which whisks newlyweds to some of the most exotic, exciting, fun, and especially romantic honeymoon destinations in the world. While cruises are sometimes thought of as the most popular way to spend a honeymoon, about only 10% of newlyweds take to the high seas. About 1/3 of couples choose honeymoon destinations within the U.S, which may take them skiing in the snowy mountains of Aspen or shuffling down Broadway in the electrifying location of New York City. The rest of the honeymooners select a foreign location to celebrate their wedding, ranging from romantic Paris to the vineyards of Italy.

Depending on the type of wedding a couple has participated in; they may wind up vacationing where they got married. Most out-of town weddings are said to take place in Hawaii, Jamaica, the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and of course, Las Vegas. Below are a few places to consider when pondering the many honeymoon destinations that the world has to offer.

Las Vegas

Even the excitement of getting married cannot compare to the never-ending roller coaster ride that is Las Vegas. Take your sweetheart to the romantic Fountains at the Bellagio and shower them with kisses, or savor a taste of abroad through the Eiffel Tower Experience. Then, once youve absorbed your fill of the Las Vegas scenery, sights and sounds, you may plow through the many casinos and around-the-clock activities, from lavish buffets to unforgettable can-can and cabaret shows. There is also something quite exciting about having the opportunity to win extra money to extend your honeymoon adventure.

Venice

A romantic trip to Italy is never complete until you experience the beauty of the Grand Canal of Venice. Step into an irresistibly romantic setting upon one of the gondolas, which allow you to float away into a reverie of kisses. Whether you enjoy a performance at the La Fenice Opera House or gaze upon the Basilica di San Marco, couples never tire of the numerous palaces and squares scattered about the city. The art, culture, and natural surroundings wrap newlyweds in a blanket of bliss.

The Bahamas

Honeymoon beach destinations are quite popular. In the Bahamas, you will find a concentration of about 700 islands to romp about, sunbath and make love throughout the night and day. Situated close to Florida, you may engage in numerous day trips to surrounding beaches and resorts. The Bahamas offers access to Nassau, Grand Bahamas Island, as well as the appropriately named, Paradise Island. It is through these islands that a tropical storybook romance unfolds with you and your love as the main characters.

Newlyweds are always looking for a honeymoon destination, there are a few magnificent places, some are classic and some are unique and special, find out more about Top Honeymoon Packages at Celia Nemarts Honeymoon Destination pages http://honeymoon.travelzupa.com/.

5 Easy Step to Caribbean Honeymoon Vacation

2008-08-27T06:18:00.001-07:00

5 Easy Step to Caribbean Honeymoon Vacation
By Low Jeremy

Spending your honeymoon at the Caribbean is a great thing. But, like any vacation planning, you should start somewhere.

Here are the 5 easy steps to have a great Caribbean honeymoon:

1.Plan a head of time. Planning your Caribbean honeymoon should not come second after planning your wedding. They should be planned at the same time. Make research online or ask for the assistance of your travel agent. Read travel magazines. This would give you an idea where to go and would help you decide what particular Caribbean destination you would go. Read reviews about the different Caribbean hotels are resorts. User reviews will let you know what previous guests have experienced while expert reviews will let you inform about the pros and cons of the place. Find the best hotel or resort you can afford. Here, you must decide what type of accommodation you would get. Make sure you can afford your honeymoon or if not, have your honeymoon registry ready.

2.Make your destination fixed. Having planned early, you should have made up your mind where or what hotel or resort you will stay. Have it fixed but give yourself a second and third option if your original plan fails. The thing is: you should have determined where and when to go. You should also have determined what to do.

3.Book early. Normally, a good 6-8 month prior to your departure booking will let you have the access to great discounts and special rates. Another thing is, many Caribbean hotels and resorts sell out early especially during summer.

4.Prepare all your documents. Have your passport and other travel documents ready months in advance. Take note that you are, at the same time, preparing for your wedding and it is assumed that you are very busy with several engagements and appointments. Have a week to prepare for all of these. Travel documents should not be neglected.

5.Dont forget to confirm. Weeks before your scheduled Caribbean honeymoon make sure you call your travel agent and confirm all your flight and reservations. Dont forget to do this so that you can avoid any problem at the day of your departure. Doing this would also give you enough time to make changes if there are any. Re-confirm days before your departure.

Make sure you remember all these so that you will have bigger chances of a smooth and hassle-free Caribbean honeymoon.

Honeymooning in Jamaica

2008-08-20T04:15:00.001-07:00

Honeymooning in Jamaica
By Diane McCalley

Getting married? Congratulations. Now, we all know planning a wedding can sometimes be a stressful affair. You have to reserve a location for your ceremony, plan the menu for the reception, book a photographer, etc., etc. Then there's the honeymoon! You have only one choice, and it better be good, right? It is your honeymoon, after all. When was the last time you turned to your future spouse and said, honey, let's pick someplace mundane for our honeymoon.

Well, if you want a mundane honeymoon destination, I can't help you. But, if you want to honeymoon in of the most gorgeous and romantic spots on earth, then let me suggest Jamaica, an island nation in the Caribbean, known for its scenery and amazing weather. The popular Jamaican poem sums up the tropical climate pretty accurately: We have neither summer nor winter/Neither autumn nor spring.

Okay, so it's pretty and the weather's great. Anything else? Consider this: Jamaica is a very popular romantic getaway, chosen by honeymooners the world over, which means that you will have a great choice of resorts that have age restrictions. What does that mean for you? Well, while you two are getting to one another better in your room, you won't hear the endless stream of Marco Polo, Marco Polo being shouted by children at the pool. In addition, an age-restricted resort usually provides a more romantic atmosphere than one which caters to families. Now, there's nothing wrong with children. You may end up having a few yourselves. But, you don't want to have to hear them on your honeymoon, right?

A couple all-inclusive, adult-only resorts you might look into include:

Hedonism III in Runaway Bay
877-467-8737

Set in Jamaica's North Coast, you'll find swim-up rooms, a Roman tub in every room, and a see-through slide that snakes through the disco. That's right - they don't call it Hedonism for nothing.

This all-inclusive resort includes such things as: Three meals daily (two restaurants), all drinks (premium brands included), 24-hour snacks, nude beach, scuba diving, water-skiing, windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling, swimming pool, Jacuzzis, kayaks, tennis courts, volleyball, basketball, air conditioned squash courts, fitness center, aerobics, bicycles, ping pong, daily and nightly entertainment, trapeze, disco and piano bar.

Couples Negril
800-268-7537

One of the four Couples all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica.

This all-inclusive resort offers such things as: All meals (three restaurants), all drinks (four bars), swim-up bar, two Jacuzzis, clothing-optional beach, sailing, scuba diving equipment and instruction, water skiing, snorkeling, canoeing, water tricycles, water aerobics, tennis, weight room, unlimited golf at Negril Hills Golf Club (cart/caddy extra), nightly entertainment.

While on your honeymoon you may also want to venture out of your room, get away from the resort and experience all that Jamaica has to offer. On Jamaica you have so many choices of activities and interesting places to see that you certainly won't be able to experience them all :

*Beaches

*Biking

*Equestrian Activities

*Fishing Parks

*Gardens

*Golf

*Hiking

*Plantation Tours

*Rafting

*Safaris

*Tubing

*Water Activities

*Waterfalls

Jamaica offers all he three Rs a honeymoon is meant for: rest, rejuvenation and romance.

Finding A Romantic Honeymoon Cruise Deal

2008-08-19T08:15:00.001-07:00

Finding A Romantic Honeymoon Cruise Deal
By Celia Namart

You would agree that the best and the most special part of the wedding is the honeymoon. And there is no better way to make it extra special than by booking for a romantic honeymoon cruise.

However, taking a romantic honeymoon cruise might be out of your plan since you have the impression that it is expensive. Here's the truth: you can find the cheapest romantic honeymoon cruise if you will work for it.

Shop around like any wise and thrifty shoppers do. Treat the internet as a department store where you can find both the high-end products and the bargain ones. Take time searching from different sites that offer romantic honeymoon cruise package. If you find long enough, you will surely get the best deal that is worth every penny. Avoid booking directly with the cruise lines. There are lots of sites like the priceline.com wherein you can compare prices of different cruise lines with the same destinations. Many internet sites can give you the best offer not only because they provide all the information you need but also because they offer discounted packages.

Let others do the shopping. Instead of wedding registry with toasters and ceramic plates on the list, why not create a honeymoon cruise registry? Honeymoon cruise registry is similar to wedding registry you can find at the department store. The list includes everything you need in a cruise. Wouldnt it be nice if someone shoulders all the expenses for your honeymoon cruise?

Off-season cruise. Different cruise destinations have different off-peak season. For example, the Caribbean cruise is off around the month of June while the Alaska honeymoon cruise is off during September and May. Consider this factor when deciding what cruise you should take and get the most out of the offered discount.

Advance booking. If you have drawn your wedding plan in advance, include booking for your honeymoon cruise. Usually, advance booking discounts are offered by honeymoon cruise web sites. Six months is enough to get this advantage.

Newlyweds are always looking for a honeymoon destination, there are a few magnificent places, some are classic and some are unique and special, find out more about Honeymoon Cruise at Celia Nemarts Honeymoon Destination pages at http://TravelZupa.com

Go For the Amazing All-Inclusive Honeymoon Packages

2008-06-11T16:53:00.001-07:00

A honeymoon is surely one of the most memorable parts of your wedding. Each of the newly married couples has an ultimate dream to have a really enjoyable honeymoon, the memory of which is likely to remain with them for the whole of their lives. Even a single flaw in the entire planning for honeymoon can spoil the whole experience. It is for this reason that it is important that you opt for honeymoon packages that offer all sorts of facilities in a single package. This saves you from the hassle of planning all miniscule aspects yourself and might also save you some cost.

The Simplification

One of the ways to derive the maximum benefit from the all-inclusive honeymoon packages is to simplify on the various aspects of planning. Most of the all-inclusive honeymoon packages offer excellent facilities like bookings at resorts, meal arrangements, activities to perform and the like. No couple wanting to have a good honeymoon will want to stress themselves out on planning for such minute details. Instead, it is a wiser option to spend time in looking for providers of such services and packages who will give you a wide variety of all-inclusive honeymoon packages to choose from.

Help in Budgets

The biggest advantage of the all-inclusive honeymoon packages is that they help you plan your budget effectively. They include all possible expenses that can be a part of the honeymoon, including the likes of expenses on meals, accommodations, sight-seeing and even to some extent, shopping. This will also help you in avoiding any unplanned extravagances such as spending on meals or exotic accommodations.

Service providers who excel in offering all-inclusive honeymoon packages also take care of the various fun-filled activities you might want to perform on your honeymoon. A skilled honeymoon planner will arrange for you to participate in activities like snorkeling, dancing and the other such themes, at locations which will surely entice you. However, before you set out to look for appropriate dealers of such all-include honeymoon packages, it is important that you spend some time in researching your options well. Once you have handpicked a couple of them, do some further research to ensure the credibility of these. You can easily make a few phone calls to check for their authenticity and quality of services by contacting a few couples who have already availed their services. A few minutes of hard work done beforehand can easily save you any foreseen discomfort or hassles later.

Offbeat Honeymoon Idea

2008-06-11T16:51:00.002-07:00

One of the most fun parts about wedding planning is deciding where to go on your honeymoon. The most popular destinations are romantic beaches, like Hawaii or Mexico. Although these places certainly have a lot to offer, some couples prefer to do something a little more unique for their honeymoon.

You can be as creative as you want in making your honeymoon plans; there is no right or wrong way to do it, as long as you and your new spouse will be spending time together. For an affordable idea, a camping trip to a national park is a great idea. Explore the beauty of nature and dine under the night sky, all for a very reasonable fee. There is a wonderful variety in our nation's park system, from the majesty of Oregon's Crater Lake to the adventure of hiking the Appalachian Trail. Camping is a great bonding experience for an outdoorsy couple.

If camping is not your thing, consider planning your honeymoon around a great festival. For fall brides, there are great choices like Oktoberfest, which actually starts in late September. The world's largest public festival, Oktoberfest began as a celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince and his Princess in 1810. That makes it a perfect choice for a European honeymoon, not to mention a lot of fun!

For couples being married in the early part of the year, the spectacle of Carnival in Brazil would make an unforgettable honeymoon destination. The dates change each year, depending on Easter; for the next few years Carnival will be in February, but sometimes it occurs in March. It is a wild time, with costumes, parties, and parades. Carnival would be the ideal choice for a hedonistic newlywed trip. Be sure to bring your bridal jewelry with you - you will definitely want something fabulous to wear to the balls. Swarovski crystal bridal jewelry would make the perfect glamorous statement.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are volunteer honeymoons. Particularly popular with couples who are having "green" weddings, it is a chance to balance out the frivolity of a wedding by doing something good for the Earth and its' inhabitants. Choosing to spend your honeymoon doing something charitable doesn't mean that it will be all drudgery and no fun. For instance, one idea is to spend a week working on an organic farm...in France. Another is to volunteer at an elephant and rhino preserve in Zimbabwe. So not only does a service oriented honeymoon afford the newlyweds an opportunity to spend their time doing something meaningful, but they also get to see some incredible locations. (And there is nothing that says you couldn't spend a romantic weekend in Paris after you work on the organic farm!)

The honeymoon is the first time that the bride and groom get to spend alone together after the stress of wedding planning. Conventional honeymoon destinations are popular for a reason, of course, but it is also fun to choose a more creative place to go. A unique and romantic honeymoon will be the first of many wonderful memories created during your marriage.

Luxury Yachts

2008-06-11T16:51:00.001-07:00

Luxury yachts may not be anything new but they have become larger in recent years, and when it comes to individuals associated with luxury yachts there is no name bigger than the Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich.

Roman Abramovich is the owner of three of the biggest luxury yachts sailing on the world's oceans. Abramovich's fleet consists of the Ecstasea, Pelorus and the Eclipse. Pelorus is the world's eleventh largest private yacht and cost about $300million when it was built in 2003. Abramovich had it fitted out by Blohm & Voss to his own personal taste. It is almost permanent found cruising around the Mediterranean although it does venture further a field during the summer months. The Pelorus though hit the headlines when it was lent to John Terry and Frank Lampard in 2005 for being the best Chelsea players during the previous season. John Terry also was allowed to have his honeymoon on board in 2007.

The Pelorus is though dwarfed by Abramovich's latest acquisition the Eclipse. When it comes to private luxury yachts there is no larger vessel than the Eclipse, and is a spectacular boat. This though is not surprising when you consider the price that Abramovich has paid for the boat. As far as luxury yachts go there is currently nothing that can match it.

The Eclipse has two helipads and a hanger for a private submarine, additional transport is also provided by four launches and twenty jet skis. It is perhaps the submarine hanger that is most impressive as it is built into the hull of the Eclipse and allows for Abramovich to leave undetected if so desired. Built over nine levels the boat also comes with a swimming pool, several hot tubs, as well as sleeping facilities for twenty four guests and thirty staff. As far as luxury yachts go the Eclipse also has an impressive cruising speed of twenty five knots.

Modern technology also abounds and unlike many other luxury yachts comes with many privacy and security settings. There are light sensors to guard against the flashes from paparazzi cameras, as well as motion sensors to detect intruders. Also in case of airborne attack there is also a missile detection system.

When it comes to luxury yachts, Roman Abramovich certainly has the largest and best fleet going. Then again with the money to spend it would not be unthinkable for him to commence building a larger and better vessel in the near future.

Honeymoon - How to Get the Most Out of It

2008-06-11T16:49:00.000-07:00

Nearly every waking moment of your last year has been consumed with the many details of planning your wedding. It might feel overwhelming to try and plan something else right now, but don't overlook planning your dream honeymoon. Your honeymoon is an opportunity to savor your first few days or weeks as a newlywed. It is a vacation with the purpose of unwinding after your big day, and getting some rest and relaxation with your brand new spouse. It might be the biggest trip you ever take, or if you are lucky, the first of many such journeys.

The first step in your planning process is to think about if going on your honeymoon immediately after your wedding makes most sense for you and your honey. You might need some extra time to bank more vacation days, or even to bank the money you need to treat yourself to your special honeymoon trip. Many folks also feel that they become quite tired after a weekend of celebrating, and prefer to save the big honeymoon for a few months down the road when it can be savored for all its worth.

Once you select the timing if your trip, your next thought might be to selecting your destination for your honeymoon. Before you pick that destination, think a little about your vacation style. Do you prefer to spend the majority of your vacation relaxing, sitting on the beach or by the pool? Or would you rather spend your time on your honeymoon being active, trying new sports or sightseeing? Of course, many people like a combination of both options, and like to alternate between relaxation and exploration. You and your beloved might have different vacation styles, in which case you will want to think about how to best compromise so both of you will enjoy your trip.

Now that you have your vacation style, you are ready to start exploring honeymoon destinations. Consider taking advantage of an all-inclusive package. These pre-packaged trips might seem expensive at first, but once you factor in lodging and food costs, they are oftentimes a good value. Compare the costs associated with staying at a hotel, and purchasing your food and drinks separately, and you will often find that all inclusive will be a better deal, in addition to assisting in your honeymoon relaxation because you won't have to constantly fork over dough for your meals.

In addition to the packages provided by resorts, consider trips offered through travel agencies or interest specific travel organizations. If you are interested in being active on your trip, there are many companies that offer trips designed to entice the hiker, kayaker, biker or sailor. There are also many companies offering trips to entice folks with a variety of hobbies an interests, such as wine and food enthusiasts, shoppers and artists. There are an infinite number of these trips available for your honeymoon, so there is no doubt that one will be just right for you and your sweetie!

Wherever you decide to go on your honeymoon, make sure you take lots of pictures. Just imagine, years from now your grandchildren will love to hear about the first trip you and your wife took as a married couple!

the Perfect Honeymoon Location

2008-03-03T06:13:00.000-08:00

Here are easy steps to identify and find your ideal honeymoon location:

1. Decide on the amount you are willing to spend for your trip. You need to take into account how long you would like to go for and how much you will need as pocket money (for food, souvenir etc...).

2. Decide on the continent you would be willing to go to.

3. Think about the type of activity you will be interested in doing, i.e. are you after a quiet honeymoon, in a desert island, away from most people, or would you prefer an adventure type of honeymoon, where you will have the opportunity to discover new cultures, do some sports or excursions. These will greatly impact on the type of honeymoon you will have.

Choosing Your Honeymoon Location

2008-03-03T06:09:00.000-08:00

After you have planned your wedding, it is time for you to give your full attention to the post-wedding celebration for both of you. Think of this: “Honeymoon is the period where you can enjoy each other as newlyweds and it is rightful to make it extra special.”
If choosing where to spend your honeymoon becomes a problem to both of you, then consider the questions below:

What do you want experience?
Among all the other concern in choosing your honeymoon location, this question is the most important for it will narrow down your possible places you can go. Here are the questions that would give you additional help: Do you like to experience the sun? Do you want to see beaches? Do you like nature experience? Do you want a honeymoon with full of entertainment? Do you want an adventure honeymoon? Do you want to spend your honeymoon with winter activities?

If you have answered, “yes” to one of these questions, then you have led yourself to the next question.

Where do you want to go?
If you happen to choose beaches over everything else, you might consider going to Hawaii, Caribbean or Fiji. If you happen to prefer entertainment, then Las Vegas is the place to be. Knowing where to go would keep your list of possible destination shorter.

What amenities would you like to have?

In one location, there are several hotels or resorts where you can possibly stay. And each has different amenities and services to offer. Identifying what do you want to have is very important before setting an exact location for your honeymoon. Make research on the different amenities and services each hotel or resort offers. If everything you need is on two or more hotels or resorts, then answer the last question.

How much do you have to spend?
Having identified everything, making sure that you have an enough budget to finance your honeymoon is very important. If you have identified 2 or more hotels, then choosing the best (with respect to your budget) is your next priority. Make sure you have enough money to spend on your chosen hotel or resort.

One more thing: the question of “when do you want to go?” would help you set your budget since the price of one resort defers from one season to another. Make sure you check on this if you want to get some savings.

After all these, you can now book for your honeymoon vacation.

But at a minimum, while you are putting together your wedding budget, it's a good idea to allocate funds for this adventure together and work from there.To help determine an appropriate budget, you've got to think about your possibilities, and of course, you've got to be realistic. A good way to start planning your honeymoon is to think about the things you both like to do in your free time, think about places you've only dreamed of visiting, and think about what you realistically intend to do while away. You can also use the Internet or a travel agent to help you come up with honeymoon ideas.Once you've selected a destination, it's time to get busy making your travel arrangements.

Special deals are out there, but you've got to be aggressive in your search for them. Don't despair; it'll likely be worth the effort. And the great deals might not always involve getting the lowest price. It's the extras that'll turn this ordinary trip into something extraordinary. Perhaps the deal includes getting a suite with a breathtaking view, or being greeted with a bottle of champagne.When you're down to only 3 months left until the wedding date, you should have your travel arrangements firmly in place. Know where you're going, how you're getting to the airport (after the reception) and once you arrive at your destination, how you'll be getting to your accommodations. Once you're in place, the rest of the vacation can run its course. If you wish, you can plan some day trips in advance. This far out, also make sure vaccinations and passports are current, if applicable.

A few weeks before your departure, start gathering the things you'll bring with you on your honeymoon: camera and film/memory cards, swimsuits, day and evening wear, traveler's checks, tickets, documents, confirmation numbers for ALL reservations (including person's name if possible), and a bit of local currency for tipping. Set aside somewhere safe.Then as the approaching days become more stressful than you can handle, close your eyes and picture yourselves lazily lying around your honeymoon suite, with not a care in the world except how soon you'll be able to return!

Winter Honeymoon Ideas

2008-02-16T07:15:00.000-08:00

Given the heat of summer, more and more people are turning to winter weddings. This makes winter honeymoons a subject you need to give some consideration to when doing your planning.
Winter Honeymoon Ideas
When you picture your honeymoon, you might think of tropical islands and ocean breezes. How about just a beachside resort or some other warm weather retreat? While these are all good ideas, not everyone one gets married in the summer or is interested in lounging on the sand. So, what is a couple to do who is getting hitched in December and would rather have adventure than pure relaxation?

Here are some ideas that are sure to please your more adventurous side.

One idea that is the ski resort honeymoon. Whether you love to ski or just want to learn how, these resorts can be a perfect mix of romance and outdoor activity.

One such resort is the Mont Tremblant Ski Resort in Quebec, Canada. This resort was voted one of the best ski bargains in North America, but it definitely doesn't have a bargain feel. Mont Tremblant is a ski resort town with quaint shops and many restaurants lining the small streets of downtown. If you want to stay in the most romantic and luxurious spot in town, the Fairmont Tremblant is a five star hotel with a spa, fantastic cuisine and bars and entertainment for your nighttime pleasure.Another ski resort that makes it into the list is the Heavenly Valley Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. This resort has gondolas that travel up 9,100 feet – a perfect height to spend some alone time with your new spouse. Also available at the resort are soaks in natural hot springs, skiing (of course!) and romantic sleigh rides. This resort offers such amenities as a picnic up at 9,000 feet and a hot air balloon ride that you will never forget as you look over the snow capped peaks.

The gaming tables of Lake Tahoe are close at hand if you want to try your luck at gambling. If you really enjoy trying lady luck, most of the casinos have hotels offering honeymoon packages. If you prefer a more secluded honeymoon experience, there are plenty of condos and homes for rent on a short-term basis in the area.Most newlyweds want their honeymoon to be a knockout. If you fall in this category, there is no better destination than Switzerland.

Well, if you can afford it. Prices are expensive, but a week in Interlaken is the stuff of movies. Located between the lakes of Breinz and Thun, this is a small city that feels like a Swiss village. You can stay in private Swiss chalets, eat fondue and take romantic walks under the snow capped mountains that tower over the area.If you are considering an off-season wedding, you need to give some thought about your honeymoon. Now you have.

Where Did The Idea Of Honeymoons Come From?

2008-02-16T07:13:00.000-08:00

Going on a honeymoon is the first real opportunity to spend time alone as man and wife, but how did this tradition come to be?
Where Did The Idea of Honeymoons Come From?

As any couple knows, planning the honeymoon is just as important as planning the wedding day itself. Traditionally the first vacation that you will take as a married couple (and presumably when the couple will consummate the union), a honeymoon has become the period of time where a couple can rest and recharge after going through the stress and excitement of the wedding ceremony.
But why do we take these trips?
The idea of a honeymoon originates far back in time, and did not originate as the vacation trip we take now.There are many variations on the story of where the honeymoon began. As the word goes, its first regular usage in English can only be dated back to the 16th century.
Many stories of how honeymoons came to be report that the idea of a honeymoon started much earlier than that date, but it is hard to tell whether these are fact or fiction.One idea that is repeated by most people is that the word “honeymoon” was used to describe an ancient Babylonian tradition where the father of the bride would give the groom all the mead (honey wine) he could drink for the first month (moon) of marriage. This was supposed to give the couple a boost to their fertility.
While this idea is widely accepted as fact, since the word honeymoon was not used at this time (Babylon fell far before the 16th century), historians cannot be sure that this is where the custom and word honeymoon came from.Another version comes from Norse beginnings. It is said to loosely be rooted in the word “hjunottsmanathr”.
This is not a happy tradition, rather it was said to be necessary as many brides of the time were abducted from other tribes and the groom was required to hide his bride until her family stopped looking for her. Thus, the honeymoon was more of a kidnapping than anything else. By the way, this process still happens in some countries!A third idea is that in Northern European cultures, a “moon” was representative of the monthly cycle of the body – and honey was said to represent how sweet the first one of these months was for a married couple. The word was a caution, that future “moons” in the marriage may not be as sweet as the honeymoon.No matter which you choose to believe, one thing is clear: the honeymoon is here to stay. In current times, honeymoons rarely last a full month, and most couples are well aware that not all of their marriage will be as thrilling and fun as their first vacation. That is fine with most couples. Their content to enjoy their honeymoon and married life as it comes.

We all know that traveling can be expensive. However, there are some times in our lives, like wedding and honeymoons, when we simply need and want to go on a great trip to celebrate the love that we have found in our lives. Going on these trips can be expensive, but if you do things smartly you will find that actually they aren't as bad as you might have thought they could be.Going on these trips can be made much simpler if you use a travel reward credit card. You will find that in many cases a reward card is simple to obtain, and very simple to use.

Private Jet Honeymoon

2008-02-16T07:10:00.000-08:00

Want to spoil you new bride for your honeymoon? Whisk her away on a private jet for your honeymoon! If really plan on spending the rest of your life with this woman then chances are you are probably already thinking about your first house and children. I can tell you once you are on that treadmill there is no way you can afford any sort of indulgence without guilt. I mean if you can't spoil yourself on your honeymoon, when can you? The stress and excitement of planning a wedding, needs to quickly turn to the relaxation of the honeymoon.There are so many romantic destinations to choose from, you might have trouble picking one. Once you have why spoil the experience with cattle class air travel when you can take the jet charter option and forget about the long queues and poor service.
By chartering a private jet you get to spend quality one-on-one time with your new bride in the lap of luxury.

Seven benefits of hiring a private jet for your honeymoon are:
1. You don't have to be a millionaire to do so. It may be a significant expense, but not unaffordable.

2. She is certain to remember her honeymoon with delight if it starts off in such style.

3. You don't really have to travel all that far. Just the experience will be enough to kick it off with a bang even if you only travel one state away.

4. The flight will suit your schedule rather than building your big day around flight times.

5. You will get some privacy on the flight so the honeymoon can begin once your in the air.

6. Your new bride will be the envy of her friends and give her major bragging rights.

7. Trust me this will be a major brownie point earner that you can live off for a long time.The choices for me are pretty clear. Luxury, privacy a once-in-a-lifetime experience in a private jet, or the cattle-like herding and inconvenience that you will suffer on conventional air travel carriers.

If you asked her in a quiet moment if she would prefer to be pressed against you in a luxurious private jet, or leaned upon by a 20-stone monster with body odour in cattle-class - which one do you think she would prefer? If you have the money to spare then to me it's a no brainer, and even if you don't you owe it to her to at least check out what the costs will be.

Some Of The Best Honeymoon And Wedding Destinations marriage is a beautiful event in your life, which you take great pains to plan. It marks the beginning of a lifetime with someone you love. A fantastic honeymoon is the perfect way to start this journey of a lifetime. Be it a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle or an invigoration action packed trip, you can be sure of finding just the right destination which will make your honeymoon vacations memorable.Hawaii has been the most popular wedding destinations in the US.

The tropical panorama, immaculate beaches and a vast choice of cuisine, and activities to cater to every kind of taste, it is not surprising that Hawaii is the top choice for a honeymoon. You can enjoy the many waterfalls and fantastic views from the various islands of Hawaii, which will be fun to explore with your spouse. But of course the most romantic thing to do with him/her would be to watch the sunset.
After Hawaii, the Niagara Falls in upstate New York figure as the next popular choice of a honeymoon destination.

Many choose the setting of the Niagara, which is the second tallest and widest waterfall in the world to even exchange their wedding vows.
There are guided tours on boats around the waterfall and a visit to the Casino Niagara, which is just across the Falls, would be a perfect way to end the day.Florida is a place that can be perfect for just about anyone.

Honeymoon Trends

2008-02-16T07:02:00.000-08:00

While the traditional vows endure, the ways to celebrate a marriage have changed right along with the travel industry.

Today's honeymooner may be looking for value, adventure, or variety and searching for a getaway that's as exotic as a stay in a private European castle or nearby as a local bed-and-breakfast inn.One constant is that couples are willing to spend money on a honeymoon - an average of $1,402 per couple compared to $421 spent annually on regular trips according to the Travel Industry Association of America. Young couples, age 18 to 24 years, spend the most on honeymoons, averaging $1,873. And as many as one-third of all honeymooners spend over $2,500 for that once-in-a-lifetime trip.And while the move is back toward the traditional wedding and honeymoon associated with earlier generations, today's newlyweds are a far cry from the travelers of earlier days. "They're looking more for luxurious and romantic places, like the little out-of-the-way small hotels and inns and private castles," points out Sylvie del Giudice, spokeswoman for Les Romantiques Hotels. "They're ready for a different experience. It's the experience of a lifetime. They are choosing to go further away on their honeymoon to a different environment and that includes everything: a different language, culture, and food."Today's couples are finding new ways to celebrate their union, creating honeymoon trends that are being felt throughout the industry.

ALL-INCLUSIVE FUNS
tarted in Jamaica but spread throughout the Caribbean and Mexico and into some other regions as well, the all-inclusive vacation is becoming ever more popular with honeymooners - and their families. Their "one price pays all" policy makes the all-inclusive trip more and more convenient for parents purchasing a honeymoon package as a gift for newlyweds. Air, transfers, meals, drinks, watersports, and even tips are included in the tab at all-inclusive resorts.

GETTING MARRIED ON YOUR HONEYMOON
Getting married on your honeymoon is also an increasingly popular concept in the Caribbean, where resort packages provide everything from wedding cake to music. At some properties like SuperClubs (http://www.superclubs.com), guests can enjoy a free wedding, including the minister's fee and marriage license.

MEXICO AND CANADA
The devaluation of Canada and Mexico's currencies mean an increase in honeymoon business for financial reasons. Canada is also gaining popularity as a honeymoon hotspot. Couples looking for a white honeymoon find it in ski areas such as Banff, Whistler, and Jasper, and those seeking big city culture seek out cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. The current strength of the American dollar against the Canadian also makes our northern neighbor an attractive honeymoon destination. "Canada is extremely popular as a honeymoon destination," explains Judy Love Rondeau from the office of the Canadian Consulate General in Dallas. "Your money goes 40% further in Canada. Also, honeymooners like the cities of Montreal and Quebec City because they are like going to Paris without going so far and spending so much money."

CITY DESTINATIONS
For some couples, a chance to enjoy the romance of a big city and the elegance of fine dining makes major cities a honeymoon destination. A recent study by the American Society of Travel Agents showed that the most popular city was Las Vegas. Orlando, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles were other top choices.

OVERSEAS DESTINATIONS
While some couples choose to vacation close to home, conserving both time and money, others see a honeymoon as a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime trip. For these travelers, it's the time for a fantasy journey to destinations whose very names mean romance.
For these lucky honeymooners, the American Society of Travel Agents has found that Great Britain is the top European destination, followed by France and Germany."We see more and more honeymooners going to Europe versus the Caribbean," says Les Romantiques Hotels' Sylvie del Giudice. "People are getting married older, and they're more interested in the culture and the experience and the discovery of Europe. Or they want to go back to Europe. I deal a lot with people who went to Paris once and now want to show it to their spouse."They usually combine romantic cities like Paris, Florence, or Rome with a resort escape like the Riviera or Normandy or the Amalfi coast of Italy so they have the best of both worlds," explains del Giudice. "We have also noticed that honeymooners are becoming more and more adventurous and discovering new areas."Looking for new European experiences is also bringing more honeymooners to less traditional destinations. Destinations like Portugal, Malta, and Turkey are gaining popularity.

ADVENTURE HONEYMOONS
The current trend toward adventure and eco-tourism vacations hasn't overlooked the honeymoon industry. "We have seen a number of newlyweds go on dude ranch vacations as well as our other trips like the cattle drives," says Dave Wiggins, president of Boulder, Colorado-based American Wilderness Experience. "It's the kind of thing for couples who are looking for something inspiring, something they can come back and say 'guess what we did on our honeymoon.'"Although Wiggins has sold many honeymooners rugged adventure packages, ranging from a 10-day safari in Alaska to sea kayaking in Baja Mexico to river rafting along Idaho's Salmon River, many honeymooners favor soft adventure. "The lodge-based vacations tend to be more popular with honeymooners because they have a bed and roof over their head and a hot shower," points out Wiggins."We're seeing more and more soft adventure travel so we have more deluxe lodge-based options," points out Wiggins. Whether honeymooners overnight in a mountain cabin or in a seaside tent, however, he explains the popularity of adventure travel with today's travelers. "At a resort there's a lot to pick and choose, but you can find yourself being a spectator and watching the action go around. On an adventure trip, you're smack dab in the action. There's no sitting back and watching the action go by in front of you - you are the action on an adventure tour."Finding that special quality is up to the individual honeymooners themselves. With the myriad of choices and a selection of atmosphere that ranges from white-knuckle adventure to hedonistic laziness, there's something for everybody.

A Honeymoon In The Mountains Is Best, But Watch Out

2008-02-16T07:01:00.000-08:00

If you're looking for the best honeymoon possible, then you need to consider the Smokey Mountains as your destination.Don't get a motel room or stay in Gatlinburg. Find a cabin to rent that has all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but in the serenity, solitude and secrecy of the mountains.My family and I just had one of the most awesome and relaxing vacations ever and we spent it in a cabin that was fully furnished. It had a pool table, 2 indoor jacuzzis and an 2 person hot tub on the deck overlooking the mountains.The cabin we stayed in would sleep 8 so there will be more than enough space for two.

While we were there we saw wild turkeys, deer, a wild peacock and scorpions.Now when I say cabin, don't think for one minute that this was a cabin like the old settlers used to call home. This cabin was more like a luxury vacation home than a log cabin. The price range for the cabin was from $130-160 per night with a 2 night minimum and a price break if you stay more than 3 nights.Cabins are located all over the area, so it pays to shop around, but almost all of the cabins are located within 15 minutes of the main highway and 25 minutes from the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.

You are close to true outlet malls as well.The Smokey Mountains offer some of the best times and places to create lasting memories with the love of your life.

Make sure you take a hike to one of the many waterfalls and be certain to do a horseback ride.The best deals on cabins are found on the internet.

Do a search for Smokey Mountain cabins and you'll get more results than you know what to do with.Our cabin was rented from Fireside Cabins and Chalet rental. They can be found on the internet with a websearch.The weather in the Smokies is fairly mild, even in the winter and you'll really enjoy your honeymoon there!

What exactly is a honeymoon

2008-02-16T06:59:00.000-08:00

Benefitting From A Honeymoon Registry
I What exactly is a honeymoon? For starters, it is far more than just a vacation with a new spouse. Primarily, a honeymoon symbolizes a great leap forward in starting a new life with someone you dearly love. You are no longer are two separate individuals. On the contrary.

You and your new spouse are now fused into one and your separate paths have joined together to form a unique union.Your honeymoon is the first single step forward on this new path. Exciting, isn't it? Because of this, your honeymoon should be planned out properly so that it becomes a memorable and unforgettable experience for years to come.How a Honeymoon Registry Can HelpIn order to make sure that a honeymoon will be a memorable one, there needs to be deliberate planning undertaken to make sure that the best possible trip and itinerary have been planned.

This can pose a challenge and become a daunting task for those who are not very familiar with the steps required to make sure a honeymoon is properly planned. This is where a honeymoon registry comes in handy.At its core, a honeymoon registry service is basically a 'spin' on the classic travel agency. What the purpose of the honeymoon registry is, is that it devises and plans out all the steps of the honeymoon long in advance so that the honeymooning couple do not have to deal with the stress associated with planning their own honeymoon excursion.No Small GiftThere is another unique and novel aspect to the honeymoon registry service is the fact that the service can itemize aspects of the honeymoon and then have these itemized aspects paid for as gifts by the wedding guests.

This is, in effect, the actual registry itself the various itemized components of the honeymoon become part of a 'registry' and guests can donate towards the registry.Indeed, this is an interesting addition into conventional wedding planning, but it has become increasingly popular and grown exponentially attractive to newly weds in recent years. (It also makes life incredibly easy for guests and it saves them the related responsibilities associated with purchasing gifts.)

While this may seem like a dramatic departure from what is the 'norm' in terms of wedding and honeymoon planning, it is also a harbinger of the wave of the future. Dont't get us wrong. Tradition and traditional planning all have their proper place, but progress and innovation are also important and even in the area of weddings and honeymoons progress can be seen, and for the better.

Look for the concept of the honeymoon registry to continue to grow in popularity as time progresses.By:Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.comLet your guests give you portions of your dream honeymoon vacation.

But for those who are having a difficult time arriving on the conclusion, here are the things you should consider:When choosing a honeymoon package, the couple should identify their wants.

The couple should realize where would they want to go, what would they want to do, and what are the things they expect.The question as to where would the couple wants to go, the possible answers would be the beach, city, countryside, exclusive place, wildlife, cultural tours, backpacking, and winter.What to do depends on the place the couple would like to go.

For example, the couple decided to spend their honeymoon at a beach. The possible activities could be an engagement on water sports and other water activities.To make it easier, the couple can create a checklist that would state all the things that need to be answered by the honeymoon package they are about to select.

Select one on the basis of accommodation, price, options, upgrades, amenities, services, and duration of your stay.If you have a pre-determined destination, limit your search on the particular place. Usually, each hotel in one area gives their won honeymoon package(s).

Honeymoon In Vegas (dvd) Review

2008-02-16T06:55:00.000-08:00

One romantic comedy often overlooked by fans of cinema is Honeymoon In Vegas, a light-hearted, feel-good movie about two lovers overwhelmed by the temptations of Las Vegas. A relatively early film in the careers of both Nicholas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker, Honeymoon In Vegas should have been early indicator to audiences everywhere that these two would become Hollywood mainstays. Along with celebrated industry veteran James Caan (who plays a surprisingly similar role on the present TV show Las Vegas), the three combine to create an interesting, if not extremely hilarious, storyline which adds a new twist to the traditional conflict of the love triangle.

Jack Singer (Nicholas Cage) is forever haunted by a deathbed promise he made to his mother, giving his word that he would never get married. But the promise threatens to end his relationship with long-time girlfriend and true love Betsy (Sarah Jessica Parker). So Jack proposes and the couple decides to race off to Las Vegas and get married. However, their trip to Vegas is soon interrupted when Jack is set up in a poker game by professional gambler Tommy Korman (James Caan).

With a single hand of poker, Jack loses $65,000 to Korman who promises to forgive the debt in exchange for a single weekend with his fiancée Betsy. Initially outraged at the setup, Jack sees the proposed solution as a way out of the debt, so he convinces Betsy to go along with the idea. But Jack soon becomes horribly jealous and changes his mind. When he goes to find Betsy, he's forced to fight against Korman and his minions who have arranged to keep Jack away permanently. Now, Jack must get to Betsy any way he can and tell her how much he loves her before Korman convinces her she's marrying the wrong man, and that the right man is no other than Korman himself.

One of James Caan's best performances, the character of Tommy Korman comes off as a somewhat likeable guy even though he plays the role of antagonist to our hero. The best characters are those that are multi-dimensional, and the director creates a great environment which allows the various cast members to act out the emotions of their characters. Put together, these diverse characters interact in exciting and interesting ways, making Honeymoon In Vegas a fun and enjoyable film.

Featuring several Hollywood icons, Honeymoon In Vegas is a character-driven romantic comedy capable of holding its own with any film in its genre. Although it never experienced the widespread commercial success of some of its contemporaries, the film nevertheless maintains a high level of entertainment value. If you haven't seen Honeymoon In Vegas, then I highly recommend it. It's worth the time. Due to its exotic settings and a well-written screenplay, Honeymoon In Vegas is a definite must-see movie.
