FI has never been to Europe so I would love to go with him. I'm hoping we can go for our year anniversary next summer. Post-wedding we're just doing a 4 day cruise from here in LA.
I voted sandy beaches, which is what we're doing (Aruba), but African safari was a close second! We looked into it and decided to save it for another trip - we've discussed going with another couple next year, so hopefully that'll work out.
I would LOVE to go to the caribbean and lounge on the beach and visit the spa for a week or two. FI, though, would be bored to tears. So, we're going with my second choice - Europe for 2 weeks.
my dream HM is to travel the world for a year. a bit unrealistic which is why it's called a 'dream'. but we had an amazing hm-2 weeks of blissful happiness and a safe trip.
Our dream honeymoon was Iceland, but it's too expensive and will never happen.
But I think our reality will be just as enjoyable - a bed and breakfast in the middle of nowhere (hills and farmland). It will be very relaxing. Plus, our engagement was sort of our 'honeymoon', since he proposed on our trip to England.
We live in LA - I can do sandy beaches, hot weather and palm trees any time. We are thinking about an up-scale ski lodge in December (a couple of months after our wedding). If not that, maybe Europe; we actually got engaged in Florence, Italy. We'll see. Depends on how much money we have to spend.
We had always dreamed of Hawaii. So blessed our dream came true. We saved and saved and it was so worth it. We took an 11 day cruise from Mexico to Hawaii, visiting 4 islands. Then as the ship continued on to Australia, we stayed in Hawaii and Island hopped for another 10 days. 3 week hawaiian honeymoon including veranda room on the ship and ocean-front hotel rooms while on shore -- trip of a lifetime!
Our dream honeymoon was to go somewhere that had it all; culture, adventure, relaxation. We are going to Costa Rica for 9 days, and that it is turning out to be my dream honeymoon! We are having a couples massage, going zip lining over the rainforest, horseback riding to a waterfall, surfing, relaxing on beautiful beaches, all the things we love to do!!! I am soooooooooo excited to go, I wish it was right now!
I am dreaming of going to Greece, Italy, or Fiji. But, we're probably going to end up doing something on this side of the hemispehere due to our -ahem- budget.
We're going to Curacao in the southern Caribbean (a gift from his parents - just finalized this week).
But we don't go to the beaches for the beach... we go for the Scuba diving! And Sport Diver rated Curacao as one of the best places to dive in the world. We pulled the resort straight from the magazine.
They have an "Ocean Encounters" PADI program there - it's one of the world's top rated PADI programs, so I'm super excited!
Our dream would be Bora Bora. Unfortunately we can't afford that. I would love to spend one night in an overwater bungalow on our honeymoon, but it looks like every place that has them, except for Bermuda, is way over budget. And we're not sure Bermuda would be warm enough in May.
New Zealand - and that's where we're going!!! We'll hit both islands, explore, and fit in a fair amount of lounging around and cuddling. SO excited! Good thing FI is ridiculously good at saving money.
