Honeymoon Dilemma

My travel agent says it depends on what islands in Hawaii that you go to that will impress you or depress you... like she strongly suggested Maui to me and FH b/c that is the spot to be. My other options are:

Turks and Cancos (Nikki Beach looks like a HOT hotel to stay in!)
Ibiza( I know, a lot of people say its not HM enough, but for FH and I its perfect. Romance and craziness what more can I ask for!)
Aruba-there is crazy exciting resort downthere with a casino and stuff that we saw that looks AWESOME!
St.Lucia

I am meeting with her soon, I will let you all know the hot spots for sure!

ughhhh im so annoying and picky, freakin FH!!!!! has to ruin everything

australia - is a maybe for me, but i dont think fh could last that long on a plane
costa rica - fsil had a bad experience there and now im scared to go
brazil - ive heard such horror stories and again im scared to go

cruise is a good option i kinda wanted to stay in a hotel but we'll see, hawaii just worked out for us, i want an awesome beach and a great nightlife to wear heels and cute dresses to (slap me now lol), and somewhere we might not get the chance to go again, ill prob have to give up something or theother for fh's sake

omg no casinos lol i will never see fh during our hm then! , im looking into turks & Caicos actually now, aruba is so gorgeous i think we may go there in the fall though so i wouldnt want to go back for hm

anyway, if you could let me know that'd be awesome!!!!!!!!!

i think you should go to hawaii! you want to go!!!! and you will probably regret it if you dont go there

so instead of looking at other places, focus your research on all the amazing things to do in hawaii and then show mike and be like...here...look...its amazing!!

and find out why the other couple didnt like it? maybe they went to crappy spots?

i know a few ppl that HM'd there and they all rave about it.

DO IT!!!!

i knowwwwwww, i need to talk to that other couple an find out the dealio

I don't know much about Hawaii but I've been to Turks & Caicos (in 2006 so this may have changed) but there is not much nightlife. It was more of a relaxing setting than anything.

I was in St. Maarten in 2007 for a vacation though and it had a great nightlife! We went to the bar that is right where on the beach where the planes come in--pretty amazing (i can look up the name but its pretty famous there). Another club we went to was similar and had a south beach vibe--very fun. I'd recommend looking into St. Maarten if you are interested!

oh, i just thought of something else..what about cabo? one of my BMs is going for labor day. ill let you know if there is nightlife

oh, and my other friend just came back from a honeymoon in belize. i saw pics..she wore dresses to dinner. lol

thanks for the info, gotta check out st. maarten now lol

i feel like putting together a powerpoint for fh and presenting hahahaaaa

I totally agree with you about the Caribbean. We have been to a few Cruises to islands and I feel like I want to do something that we will never be able to do otherwise. We are looking into Hawaii as well...but we def. need nightlife!!! So there is no night life in Fiji/Tahiti? Thats a bummer cause that was on our list!!

Let me know how it goes, and if you can keep me updated on any info you get about nightlife places please do!!!

I know someone who just got back from Hawaii (it's her first day back at work today) and she was not impressed - HOWEVER, she thinks it may have a lot to do with the hurricane that hit the islands while she was there. Also she was in Oahu (sp?) and said it was very crowded and she doesn't like crowds.

FH's cousin is there on her HM right now... she emailed us last week saying she hopes it stops raining. I will find out details on how she liked it when she gets back.

HTH!

Oahu is very 'tourist-y' From what I hear its basically walking around a large city just with nicer scenery. We are going there for two nights just to see the popular sights.

as far as ive heard/seen its mostly water and nature stuff during the day and then its lights out lol

ill keep you posted though on what i find

Hey Joanna, what about considering Ibiza???

It is beautiful and has an amazing night life. FH and I want to go there. Its a toss up bt. Ibiza and Hawaii actually.

You should really sit down with a travel agent and discuss Hawaii. It really has a lot to offer. FH went only to Maui...for 7 days...and felt like we needed more time just to relax!

The beaches are beautiful, the food was amazing and there are so many things to do. Also, they have great snorkel tours to other islands.


FH and I considered Tahiti and Fiji...but thought we would get bored because there is zero nightlife. Hawaii was a good mixture of day and night activities.

FH should reconsider. Maui itself is amazing...and you still have the other islands if you want to switch it up a bit
