Life Possible Honeymoon destinations? - Page 3

**Dunit35** · 08-18-2010, 04:55 PM

I guess the males family pays for the honeymoon portion of a wedding. So, I want to avoid asking my father for help towards this. We have been together for a year now and we are getting married May 21, 2011. I'm on a budget for this, so where should we go? I have no clue as to where to take her. She has traveled to Europe and always talks about going overseas again. I don't think I can afford something like that. I was thinking Florida or somewhere near a beach. Maybe somewhere near a good lake. How much would an estimate be on a honeymoon like that?

Thanks for the help.

To each their own, but I thought the place was a shit hole. Dirty city and rude arrogant people. I see where it gets its less than steller reviews.

If you're getting married in May, weather is not a hindrance no matter where you choose to go.

What do you mean by "historical stuff"? That could cover a lot of areas.

What other hobbies/interests? Theme parks? Cruises? Does she like sunning on the beach? Looking through museums? Shopping? Or is this just going to be a lot of

ing? These are all factors.

With a budget of $1,500, you're gonna burn a lot of it in airfare alone, so if you happen to have anywhere you want to go that could be done in a drive, that'll save you a lot. Just a thought.

What my wife and I did is take a local honeymoon up at Flathead lake and waited for winter to go to Hawaii. You may want to consider something like that. It would give you a lot of extra time to save up some extra money and do it up right.

Just a thought......

It's definitely not the cleanest city in Europe, but I definitely never experienced the rude arrogant people. To each his own.

With a budget of $1500 all I can think of is a car. That's just not a lot of money.

Look up all-inclusive. That's the only way on a $1500 budget.

A cruise is cheap. Getting there is the expensive part.

From what you described, why don't you go the opposite direction and go to Vancouver? It's beautiful. The beaches are nice, and the scenery is beautiful. You can go whale watching, check out the wharf, and go hiking in Whistler. It's a very international city, so it feels like you are farther away from the states (has a Hong Kong feel to it, actually.)

A drive and cruise is probably the best option with that budget. I'd focus on though saving more money.
