How long & how much for ur honeymoon??

Downtown, $4 - Metrocard included

Only kidding - we have not priced yet but we are looking at BVI - island hopping

Around $5K for 8 nights/ 9 days Playa del Carmen, Mexico. That includes airfare, trip insurance, all meals, liquor, 'romance package', private transfers and budget for excursions and 'extras'. I highly recommend my TA, Hayley from www.beachbumvacation.com and check out the prices at www.discount-all-inclusive.com, that's what we did and Hayley beat their lowest price. A few other gals from here have recently booked with her as well.

Happy Planning!

6nights in maui, 3 in kaui, and 2 in vegas...10k
i know, i know, it will make me sick once the cc bill comes...that's why i'm stopping in vegas on the way back...hoping to win some of it back!

Rebecca,

I thought you guys were going to Greece?

ours is going to cost around $5,000 for 10 nights in western canada - 6 nights in Lake louise and 4 nights in Victoria

But the price might change a little based on the exchange

that does not include flights because hopeflly we can fly first class because of miles

ok, I was thinking $2k pp (all-Inclusive)was a bit much, but I guess I'm ok compared to ya'll!!

My honeymoon to Africa was $9,600 (including airfare and many meals) ... plus innoculations, gifts, drinks, some meals, tips, etc ...
So maybe around $12,000 - $13,000 by the time we are get the CC bill later this month.

We can't decide on anything

But we are figuring 5K for either Aruba all inclousive or Sandas St Lucia.

did everyone go through travel agents?
It seems like so much!

I definitely did...mine saved me over $1K from the lowest price I found online...e-based TA's seem to be the best in terms of getting the lowest quotes.

you know you can register for a honeymoon...they break it down into meals, entertainment, air miles, etc...so it ends up being like $50.00 and up increments...just an idea. honeymoon registry

Rebecca,

Donna, did you ever open up a can of worms! LOL, you'll be sorry you asked after reading my saga.

Greece was our first choice. When I was looking at brochures, we found a terrific 12 day tour package. The prices we looked at were for 2004, and if you add spending $, it was pretty reasonable. The 2005 price for a lesser package was nearly DOUBLE the 04 price. Add spending $ to that (especially since the dollar is falling against the Euro), and it put Greece out of our budget.

We also looked at Bora Bora. I went nuts when I saw what it looked like. FH didn't want to go b/c we could afford no more than 7 days. He says two of those days are wasted traveling (the flight is about 15 hours I think), another two to recover from jet lag, since this place is literally half a world away from us. He eels like we only have three 'real' days there, and cannot justify spending 8k on three days. So Bora Bora is out.

Africa is out - FH is to afraid

Europe is out - too expensive

Australia or New Zealand - flight too long

Asia - flight too long, not enough beaches for FH

Where does that leave us?

Hawaii - flight is a little long, and i don't want to have to rent a car to get around

Caribbean - looking into this, esp, Bermuda. Two hours away from JFK, island is small, no need for cars. english is spoken, and the dollar is widely accepted. great beaches for FH and excursions for me.

Mexico - looking into this too

Central America- Found a really interesting eco resort in Nicaragua. Pro: inexpensive, flight not too long. Has interesting excursions for me, beaches for him. Con: I don't really want to take malaria pills or get vaccinations and this place doesn't have air conditioning.

South America: Looking into Argentina and Brazil. An acquaintance came back from Brazil and LOVED it, have to research more.

Another acquaintance raved about Argentina- Pros: super cheap, beaches, culture and nightlife. Just enough stuff to do. Cons: political unrest. I would hate to book this trip and find ourselves in an unsafe situation.



the search continues.

Oh my goodness!! Sorry to hear about this! What about Costa Rica? One of my friends went there about a year ago and she loved it.

I know what you mean about Bora Bora...Joe and I wanted to go there but the only way we would go is if it were for at least 10 days and we just couldn't swing it without depleting both of our bank accounts. Hawaii is a little more affordable.

Good luck...let me know what happens!

Around $4000 for 7 nights at Sandals--Grand Ocho Rios. We have the Romeo and Juliet room (24 hr butler service, jacuzzi and private pool in room). It includes airfare.
We were gonna get first class tickets, but then found out its like $1000 each.

Jamaica is great!!!!!!!

Yeah, FH family is actually from JA and he the last time he was there he was 9 years old. I went to JA two years ago on springbreak with a couple of friends from college. We did it low budget. Cheap hotel, spent little $$ (being a female is great, the men paid for everything!), and had a BLAST.

This time I'm doing it up Balla style and I can't wait. I really wanted to be pampered on the Honeymoon. My first choice was Ghana, but FH doesn't want to go their because he said that he wants to relax on the HM and be a bum and if we went to Ghana he would want to take in the culture. Thought about Tahiti, but we couldn't afford the nice hotels. Now that FH got a job he doesn't have too much vacation time, so I guess in the long run everything worked out the way it was meant to.
