Where Should We Honeymoon?

This week we've had two requests from readers looking for a special getaway...but they don't know where to start. What should you do when the two of you want to plan a special getaway but you don't know where?

I am having a very hard time trying to find the perfect location that I can afford. Do you have any suggestions.

We are happy to help. We’d suggest first asking yourselves some questions:

• What time of year do we want to travel?

• How many days will we travel?

• How much is our travel budget?

• What do we want from the trip: relaxation, sightseeing, adventure, etc?

• Do we want to stay in the country or travel internationally?

With that information in mind, you can decide if you’d like a car trip or something further from home so you can begin to narrow down your list of options.

We had a similar question from a reader in Guatemala:

Please give me real romantic and good places to our honeymoon; we live in Guatemala so we will prefer in in North America or Caribbean.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. We’d suggest first asking yourselves some questions:

• What time of year do we want to travel?
• How many days will we travel?
• How much is our travel budget?
• Do we want seclusion and privacy with a country or a resort getaway or do we want to be in the middle of the action with a city getaway?
• What do we want from the trip: relaxation, sightseeing, adventure, etc?

With that information in mind, you can decide on options. A few top North America honeymoon options are New York City, San Francisco, Niagara Falls, Quebec City, Colorado ski country, Santa Fe (New Mexico), Miami, Orlando, the Florida Keys, and others. In the Caribbean, you’ve got lots of choices depending on how busy you’d like the vacation to be and what activities you’d like (nightlife in Puerto Rico and Aruba, privacy in the Grenadines, scuba diving in Grand Cayman, etc.)
