Honeymoon ideas?

Having a hard time coming up with where to go!

Don't want to spend a fortune, my dad has offered to pay and I feel bad having him spend too much. 

We live in Florida and are not beach people- so that removes the idea of going to the islands.  

Would love to hear others ideas of where to go in November.

    What about New Orleans?  I've never been there myself, but I've heard nothing but great things from friends who have been.

    Skiing? Colorado? Some kind of mountain-cabin getaway?

    What's the budget and what type of things do you like to do?  It's hard to give suggestions without know those things.

    We're going to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN area. We found a super secluded cabin with a hot tub, pool table, big screen, etc. Could you maybe do something like that?

    Budget is going to be somewhere between 3-4k probably.. 

    Thinking Costa Rica, Guatemala or Nicaragua.(airfare is cheap from florida_

    We are active and into being outdoors- have no urge to go sit on a beach though and I have a huge fear of being in the water with fish- so no snorkling,etc).

    We are going to Vegas!  There is a ton to do there (many free activities too - including just walking the strip and seeing the amazing hotels).  We're planning to see a couple of shows, have a spa day, and do a trip to the Grand Canyon.

    My husband and I are thinking about doing what Jim Carey's character did in the movie "Yes! Man," where he and Zoey Deschanel (LOVE HER) went to the airport and bought tickets for the next flight out. It could be expensive, could be a bummer, but no matter where we spend our honeymoon, it'll be together!

    Those sound like great choices. How about Peru? Lots of sights to see there as well! I have two friends who went (separately) and both loved it. Lots of hiking and sight-seeing/history.

    I'm from Florida too and we are planning on going to Budapest, Prague, and Vienna. If we are lucky,,,we may make a pit stop to Paris (crossing my fingers!). We are using our American Express miles for the airfares. Our budget is the same as yours.

    Costa Rica and Nicaragua would be great choices! My parents are from Nicaragua :) Costa Rica gets a lot of tourists coming so lots to do over there as well.

    I think Costa Rica would be a great choice since you guys are active and love the outdoors!  A lot of adenture type stuff to do there.  You could have a nice honeymoon their with your budget.
