Need Honeymoon help!!!!! FH doesn't want one--he wants to save money!?!?!?!

when we started planning we were going to go to Tahiti (& Moorea & Bora Bora) for our honeymoon. As we get closer, we're realizing we do not ahve the $ to go now. FH REALLY wants to go but doesn't want to scale the trip back to save $. He promises we'll go next year, he really wants to go to get an authentic French Polynesian tattoo, a big one, on his shoulder, upper arm and chest

Anyway, so we decided to go to Disneyland, and other sights in So Cal, partly b/c FH has a friend who lives there that he hasn't seen in also 9 yrs who cannot attend the wedding.

I get pricing an info, and it's WAY cheaper than Tahiti. I then realize that we'd be doing a lot of touristy things and nothing relaxing and romantic. I mention this to FH and he says 'You're right, let's not go to CA now' I ask where we'll go for our honeymoon and he says 'Nowhere and we'll save money'

OMG, does he NOT understand I really want to get away, even if it's for a few days!!! I have not been 'away' since Sept, when we went to FL for a job interview for him, wasn't much of a vacation!

SO, any thoughts or ideas?!?!

I am hesitant to go to Caribbean or Mexico b/c it'll be hurricaine season. Any ideas???? We want to stay UNDER $3000 and would LOVE all inclusive. Is this too much to ask!?!?!

TIA!!!

I went to Dominican Republic in June 04 and we spent 10 nights at Paradisus Punta Cana and it was a little over $3000 and that included airfare and was AI. I feel like it's a little early for hurricane season, but if you are worried look into AI places that have a hurricane policy or look into Aruba which is south of the hurricane belt. Call around to some travel agents. Sometimes they can find you great deals if you are flexible about where you want to go. Good luck!!!

wait you can do relaxing hm type stuff in cali! go to the beaches in san diego, check out the wineries (there are tons all over teh state, not just napa-so whichever is closest to where you are)
cali is SUCH a versatile state, you can totally do the beach HM type thing there too!
