Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

so what are u girls thinking of doing for the honeymoon? we were on the fence for awhile between aruba and hawaii but we finally decided on aruba for 11 days/10 nites.
we were thinking of doing italy first but it's too much $$$ for us now so we figure we'll go there for our first newlywed trip the following summer

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

As of now - we're going to hawaii. I have the Citibank Credit card, and bank accounts that offer 'thank you points' so im gonna use ALL my points towards a free flight (hopefully ) I want to go to alot of islands - so Im thinking of staying at one island - then taking a 7/8 day cruise - and then staying at the island we land in again. Im thinking this might be cheaper and less annoying than to visit diff islands and paying more for flights, food, and hotels

btw Santina - my sister went to Aruba for her honeymoon and she LOVED it soo much - that she went back another 2 times!!

that's great - i've heard only positive reviews about Aruba so far and most people who go once usually end up going back again

We are very lucky and are able to go to Italy for our vacation. We are going to Venice and Rome and a one night visit to my family's home town. We thought about doing the islands or hawaii, but it wasn't our style. Though I hear great things about Aruba and Hawaii. My parents went on an a cruise around the hawaian islands and loved it. With my dad being a pure Italain loving his italian food...he had no complaints about the food. :)

you and your FH are gonna have an amazing time. Rome is gorgeous and from what I've heard so is Venice - I've visited a lot of Italy but haven't been to Venice yet, but from what I see on TV and in pics it's a magical place. Congrats
