Re: Another personal $ question...

I figure by the time it is over, we will have spent about $7500 for 5 nights in Vegas and 5 nights in Cabo San Lucas including food, etc. It seems like a lot, but we decided to go with a total luxury hotel in Cabo - hey, it is our honeymoon!

Re: Another personal $ question...

We are goign to Maui for 5 days, and then Kuaii for 5 days, staying at the Sheraton on both islands, coach airfare form JFK, a car on both islands, and the plane ride from Maui to Kauii. It is costing us $4500. At the Sheraton we are not staying in the top room, but one below becasue they bump up honeymooners for free.

Michelle - what travel agent did you use? It sounds like what we want to do. Thanks for any input!

Go for it, splurge, it's your honeymoon!!!!

We're going to France, Switzerland, and Austria for a little over 3 weeks, and it's costing between $16,000-$18,000. If we eat at a lot of those fancy shmancy french restaurants, then it will end up on the higher side. But heck, it's our honeymoon!

Re: Another personal $ question...

Ok - we are spending right at 5K for EVERYTHING (airfare, tips, food, booze, excursions) at Sandals in St. Lucia for 7 nights. Does that sounds right for an uostairs/downstairs oceanview 1BR suite? It's all inclusive. Are you guys counting all your spending $$ and tips and transporation too? Now I'm faintly alarmed that we're overspending?

Re: Another personal $ question...

We spent more on ours b/c Hawaii (Hyatt in Kauaii & Mauii, Waikoloa Village, Big Island) at Christmas is the most expensive AND we couldn't get a deal on the rooms or breakfast incl. So we wound up paying over 6K on accomodations PLUS spending money. We did everything & splurged when we wanted to. We have no regrets! It was worth every penny!

Don't skimp on this, you'll never have another vacation like it!

Re: Another personal $ question...

So far our honeymoon is 'free'. We're just bringing about $3000 spending money for dinners, activities, etc..

We're starting in Switzerland, then heading to Northern Italy, and finally down to Monaco and Nice for a total of 2 1/2 weeks.

We're flying business class and all that is taken care of with FH's frequent flyer miles and the hotels are paid for with AMEX points. I guess all of my FH's traveling is paying off!

Re: Another personal $ question...

Sunny - I got recommendation from another bride for an online travel agent - she got me 2 extra days in Jamaica for less than my current TA charged for 12 days AND 1st class airfare. if you're interested in checking her out, fm me. our price is not includ. spending money, but since its all inclusive we'll def. be able to splurge on other stuff & there are 5 tours already included in the price at each location.

Everyone's HMs sound great - hope all you ladies have a great time!
