Honeymoon Escapades
November 12th 2007 04:58
Ahhh…the bliss, the peace and quiet away from all the buzz of pre-wedding preparations and the wedding event. This is the time for some loving! The time for you to privately celebrate the special relationship you have for each other.
Honeymoons need not be expensive, nor does it have to be the typical routes that are sold at wedding expos. The simplest ideas are sometimes the most romantic and memorable. Whatever your style and budget is, here are some ideas that might just spark a creative idea or two of your own:
Camping – some friends of mine are avid campers, and have travelled the world camping-out at different national parks around the world. So, for their honeymoon they decided to camp-out at different national parks in Southeast Asia, rounding it off by splashing-out with a three-night stay at a beautiful island resort in Malaysia.
Adventure getaways – for the boating and yachting enthusiasts, how about renting a beautiful yacht or a powerful catamaran or boat to cruise through the group of islands in Queensland, Australia or the numerous islands in Southeast Asia. For a small price, you can also opt for a skipper and chef to be on-board.
Shopping and culture – if a more urban style appeals to you, a trip to New York with the love of your life can be all the more romantic with a stroll through Central Park followed by a breakfast picnic, and a bit of shopping in the afternoon on the famous Fifth Avenue. Don’t forget to watch a Broadway or two, and to fill your tummy at one of the many world-renowned restaurants there.

For a culture-filled honeymoon, Italy sure hits the mark. With a strong history, it boasts of many romantic and highly significant cities like Venice, Rome, Pompeii and Florence. Not forgetting the beautiful coastline of the Amalfi Coast and charming Tuscany, Italy sure has a lot to offer than just history. I’d be packing my bags!

We took some friends with us on ours and enjoyed every minute, spending time with people who lived overseas and who we hardly get to see! It was still romantic and very memorable!

A couple of years ago I did a Contiki tour of Europe and one of the couples on the tour were on their honeymoon. I thought it was a great idea for a honeymoon.

I hear Hayman Island is beautiful, katyzzz. Sounds like bliss!
<chuckle> Yea, Krystal...I think it's best to save for a wonderful honeymoon than spend it on an atrociously large and impersonal wedding event. ...but to each their own...
Yea, I've heard too that Hamilton Island is a dream, Dean. Definitely worth saving the $ for!
<giggle> I do love Italy...there's so much on offer, and fairly varied too...but really anywhere with that special someone is fab
Very true, Ash. It's what we make of it...and of course with who
