HM-So Many Places so Little Time & $$$

Speaking of honeymoons....
Have you booked it yet? Where do you plan to go? Where do you wish you could go?

We are thinking about Hawaii or a Greek Island Cruise. Haven't booked anything yet.

i hear ya Brittny!!

Its funny because the deal was FH was going to do all the HM stuff and I was going to do all the wedding stuff, but of course I can't mind my own beeswax.

We looked alll over the world.. Thailand, West Africa, New Zealand and finally settled on Egypt. But then all those resort bombings kept happening

So, now we are leaning towards nice and simple and safe Mexico hopefully all-inclusive because we can eat and drink our moneys worth!!!

Chrissy, you can do Hawaii or Aruba and totally save with your IATAN discount

BUT ITALY IS AMAZING in September, you might want to think about that

Aww!! Thanks sweetie!!

While we are brave souls and would stick with Egypts we are pretty sure it would age our moms 20 years each! :)

Its funny because in the past ten years we've probably been to 30 different countries between the two of us and not one of them was Mexico. So why not? And we are just going to want to plop down and relax and drink and do a little HM 'dancing'... so why fly for 20 hrs to do that on a beach in Thailand?

Yeah, Riviera Maya seems like the way to go. We definitely want an adults-only place though. When we were in the Dominican Republic this past February we paid more to stay in the Adults only section of the resort and realized it was MUCH quieter and peaceful without the kiddies. >

Id do anything for a little rum punch right now!!!

Costa Rica is pretty hurricane-proof? I stayed at the Occidental Grand Papagayo there 2 years ago and it was gorgeous. Small and intimate and alll-inclusive.

Plus there is a chubby guy there that teaches water aerobics that we pretty much the funniest thing Ive ever seen. I highly recommend!

The thing I hate about the IATAN card is that we have to wait 90-30 days out before we can book anything. For planners like us, that can be annoying
But hey if we save money it's worth it
