My fiance and I are getting married August 28. We are looking to go on our honeymoon either a couple days after that, or we can depart later, up to two weeks after our wedding.

We are looking to go on vacation for 6 or 7 days. We like to snorkel, dive, hike, swim, etc. Nightlife is fine, but what we really want are fun recreational things to do. Also a decent hotel, like the Westin, Hyatt, etc. I looked on Expedia, etc. and we can find some nice places in Cancun for less than 0/person including flight and stay at a Hyatt. This sounds good to me. But the flight is 11 hours long from Sacramento, California to Cancun. I would like a shorter flight if possible. So maybe somewhere closer to California, but still in Mexico. Does anybody have a recommendation on which city to go to, where to stay, and somewhere that doesn’t take 10 or 11 hours to fly to from Northern California, and that is not too expensive.

Thank you.

Expend A Fulsome Honeymoon At Manali The Switzerland Of India

Green rush deep valley, redwoods, secluded lovers paradise, fireplaces, snow-capped peaks, enthrallingly beautiful location, cascading waterfalls… wondering where this mickle destination could be. Well, I am talking about Kullu Manali pertinently called the Switzerland of India. As newly married we were looking for a destination filled with splendors of nature and experience privacy with a dash full of romance. Our parents introduced us and we planned to take the plunge happily last year after 10 months of courtship. While pounding on the thought of honeymoon he told me look, we do not want to stress about planning the honeymoon. So, I told him let find an online travel booking and let them help us. Himachal Hotels came to our rescue and advised us Kullu Manali. Our bottom line was, it should fit our budget and it better be a freaking spectacular honeymoon. After detailed information we eventually nixed that idea as well.

I was told the truth that, Kullu Manali is an ideal city of love with its rich architecture and breath taking scenic displays. We booked a resort in Manali for three day and a hotels in Manali for three days. As a traveler I’ve had some great road trips in my life, but this one is far the best. There is a certain romance to getting married in winter. The resort offered us top-notch facilities and impeccable services. Crackling fire at the hearth, a blanket in front of the hearth, dark wooded lavish interior, enormous bathroom and above all a breathtaking vista outside this was how our room looked like.

The highlight of our honeymoon was going for long walks on the hills surrounded by snow capped mountains, Beas river flowing nearby along the wide glacial looking on riverbed, old beautiful architectural buildings built on the peaks of the hillocks. We also took a slow walk holding hands in the thick deodar forests full of cool breezes. We stayed at Manali for three days and three days in kullu. In kullu we visited famous old villages like Malana, Kasol and Naggar.

We indulged our self in an exotic rich spa treatment which included aromatherapy and deep tissue massage. We immerse ourselves in a plethora of activities like paragliding, zorbing, skiing, water rafting, which I guarantee you will enjoy with your spouse. We also biked on an old gravel road in kullu. We were told that it’s just phenomenally peaceful in Kullu during winters; the residents spend their winter in activities like sitting around the fire, spinning wool and knitting. Spending your entire life in living such pleasurable life, a dream that each one of use desire.

We traveled to Kullu Manali on our honeymoon and started a new chapter of our life. A romantic getaway for all newly wed couples especially when Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.

The Top Five Honeymoon Vacation Destinations

Everybody wants to have a memorable honeymoon, and there are plenty of destinations that you can choose from. Whether you want a quiet, relaxed stay or an activity filled honeymoon, chances are that you will be able to find the destination that you are looking for, and create a memorable experience that you both can share. Here are some suggestions for five top honeymoon vacation destinations.

1. For many years the number one honeymoon destination in the United States has been Hawaii. It’s not hard to understand why when you see its beautiful beaches, tropical scenery, and wide variety of activities to help keep you busy. When you tour Hawaii, there is no shortage of beautiful scenery including fabulous waterfalls and spectacular beach views. And who can beat the romance of a setting sun over the tropical ocean? But there is also lots of other adult activities to be enjoyed as well, including some of the best golf courses in the world. And when it’s time to relax, enjoy the sauna or pool and then take in a Hawaii luau. As you can see, Hawaii is a great honeymoon choice.

2. Honeymooners have also frequently chosen Niagara Falls on the US/Canada border in the past. Here you can enjoy the second tallest waterfall in the world, and even take a boat cruise around the area of the falls itself. There are plenty of tourist attractions that cater to honeymooners located around the falls too. And the Catskill Mountains are just a day trip away, where you can enjoy relaxing and inspiring mountain scenery together.

3. Florida is another top honeymoon vacation spot. There are lots of places in Florida where honeymooners can enjoy each other and the local scenery. Perhaps the most famous honeymoon spot in Florida though is Disney World, located right in the center of the state. Disney World loves to cater to honeymooners, providing special vacation packages to those looking for a romantic getaway. But if theme parks are not what you are looking for, consider going all the way to the bottom of the state to either Miami or Key West. Both of these locations offer beautiful resorts and white sandy beaches along with plenty of attractions to keep you busy when you want to be.

4. California can also be a great honeymoon destination, especially in Northern California. Just north of San Francisco is the Californian wine country where you can visit local wineries and enjoy their hospitality during your stay. Northern California offers lots of rolling hills, quaint villages, and beautiful mountain ranges to help you enjoy your stay. And all along the way you can stay at some of the most romantic bed and breakfasts in the country.

5. Another popular honeymoon destination these days is Las Vegas. If you are looking for a fun filled, and action-packed vacation, then this is for you! Lots of Las Vegas hotels offer special honeymoon packages too. And besides gambling, there’s plenty of shopping, nightlife, and even the Grand Canyon to keep you busy.

Any of these honeymoon vacation destinations would make a fine choice after your wedding. Just be sure to book your reservations well in advance, as all of these honeymoon spots are very popular.

My fiance and I are getting married in April 2011, and we are planning to leave on our honeymoon the 2nd week in May. We are taking off for a couple weeks and going on a Road Trip! We live in South East Michigan and plan on driving into Northern California, driving South on the Pacific Coast Highway until L.A. From there we will spend a few days in Vegas and then Head back Home. We don’t necessarily plan on stopping everywhere for a couple days…we mainly want to drive South on the PCH for the views…I hear the are incredible. I would like our main stays to be a couple days each on a couple beach cities and a couple days in Vegas. The rest we will just be stopping, sight seeing, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions for us??? Places we just HAVE to see, restaurants along the way we HAVE to try??? I really appreciate any input.

Thanks ( :

On my honeymoon I will be 20 and my fiancee will be 21. The hotel I’m looking at (Hilton Garden Inn Times Square) says "Must be 21 to check in"

Does this mean that I will not be able to stay there since I’m 20, or does it just mean that my fiancee has to be the one to check us in?

March 22 and the week following is my honeymoon. We’re thinking about visiting a redwood forest in California. We’re from Nebraska. Where are some good places to visit? Where are some good places NEAR a redwood forest (like 2-4 hours)? Which forest would you suggest? We don’t have a ton of money, so keep that in mind. First and only trip to California, what is a must-see?
