Honeymoon Question

I know this was done before but I can't find the thread. I am suppossed to book our HM today and I am freaking out about the price!

My question is where are you going, for how long and how much you are spending (if you would like to share)?

Thanks. I just want to make sure we aren't spending too much. It seems like so much money for just 8 nights.

Re: Honeymoon Question

since we are spending SO much on the wedding, we are thinking of staying local ie Poconos - then save up & go to Aruba for our 1st Anniv.

Re: Honeymoon Question

If you have credit card points or airline miles you can apply those towards the honeymoon. It may not pay for the whole trip but it might save some money.

Good Luck.

Re: Honeymoon Question

Check out Mexico. They have some amazing all inclusive resorts half the price of a Sandals type place in the Carribean.

Re: Honeymoon Question

We're going to Disney, Universal and Sea World for 12 days. We are paying something like $2600 that is for both of us with airfare, hotel, car rental and all park passes. I booked that as a package deal through Expedia. Also, if you are a AAA member, check their travel agency. You can get good deals through them.

Re: Honeymoon Question

Turks and Caicos for six nights. Hotel (studio oceanfront room) and airfare came out to like around $1440 a person. Oh, and we're staying at the Sands at Grace Bay, they have a pretty affordable restaurant right next to the premises as the restaurants there can be pretty expensive.

Re: Honeymoon Question

We are doing a 7 night Caribbean cruise. It leaves out of Puerto Rico so we will fly into PR 3 days early and spend some time there too.

Trip total of 10 days and will cost us $4,300.
