Anyone else keep changing their mind about the HM?

Original post by gmcamp

I really don't know what's wrong with me because I've changed my mind about where to go on our HM a million times already! I am SO lucky that FH is pretty much leaving me in charge of deciding where to go (he's been alright with all of my ideas thus far). Here are my past choices:

1. Italy - Italy is the only place in Europe I've been to and I loved it SO SO much. I stayed in Rome for a few days and Bologna for two weeks, and it was unbelievable. But we'll be getting married in August, which isn't really the best time to travel to Italy. And I wanted to do something that I haven't done before, so it made sense to travel to Italy sometime else. This would probably cost about $6-7k when all is said and done.

2. Australia + New Zealand - FH went to Australia and New Zealand for two weeks on a school trip in high school and absolutely loved it. I've never been, and it looks beautiful. We ditched this idea because the travel time would really subtract from our vacation (FH has a very limited amount of days to take off from work, and we have other weddings next year that he'll have to take off for, so there would be no way that we could possible go for more than two weeks which is what I would have wanted to do for Aus/NZ. I'd estimate two weeks in Australia/NZ, including flights, to be AT LEAST 10k.

4. Australia + Fiji - This would allow us to relax a little, it seems absolutely gorgeous, and neither of us have been to Fiji. I'd estimate the same as Australia + NZ.

5. Mediterranean cruise on the Norwegian Epic to two locations in Italy and two in France. It's a 7 night cruise leaving out of Barcelona, so I wanted to stay 2-3 nights in Barcelona and 4-5 in Paris. The cruise itself would probably be around $2600 if we got a balcony room, plus approx $800 each for flights, plus hotels and food in Barcelona and Paris...so I would approximate the cost at around $7k total (we'd be getting a lot for what we'd be paying, but it's still a lot of money!!)

6. Excellence Playa Mujeres in Mexico - I was browsing the boards here and saw SO many positive reviews for EPM. And the rooms are absolutely gorgeous!! I never planning on doing an all-inclusive for my HM, but EPM makes it SO tempting! Beautiful resort, food sounds amazing, and excursions seem like they'd be really fun! And it seems significantly cheaper than any of the options.

Opinions? I know I have a lot of time to book the HM, but it's so exciting start planning. It will definitely be my favorite thing to book!

I am not a fan of DR!! My watch was stolen out of the safe at the hotel.

I ended up booking at Excellence Playa Mujeres. Got a great deal with my TA.
