Planning the Perfect Honeymoon

[caption id="attachment_561" align="alignleft" width="125" caption="Planning the Perfect Travel Honeymoon"][/caption]

The task of planning the perfect honeymoon can be daunting, especially if you haven’t traveled much before.  I am excited to bring you a series of blog posts that will provide a wealth of information about honeymoon planning, location and tips to help you discover ways to save money, plan the best travel times, and even… knowing how to Travel Lite!

Let’s start by challenging you to print off two copies of the questionnaire and then to check  the degree of compatibility the two of you have about something as important as your honeymoon.  By asking questions about things you may not even think of looking into, you can ensure your honeymoon will be something you look at for years later as being… perfect.

First, go into this knowing you will most likely not respond to all of the questions identically – and that is ok.   Sometimes the ‘negotiation” adds a little spark and interest and in the compromise, you may both experience something you would not otherwise have thought as a possibility.

I would prefer taking our honeymoon:

□       Before the wedding. 

□       Following the wedding.

□       Later, when the “time” is right.

□       Later, when we have more money.

□       I’d rather not have one.

I would like to have the honeymoon planned by:

□       A skilled travel agent  or consultant who can help us with all the planning and coordination.

□       One of us, but who will “take the reins.”

□       Both of us, working together to make it happen. 

I would like to allocate the following amount to spend on the honeymoon:

□       Under $500

□       $500-1,000

□       $1,000-$2,500

□       $2,500-$5,000

□       $5,000-$10,000

□       $10,000+

I would like to be on our honeymoon for:

□       A simple overnight stay.

□       Just a weekend/long weekend.

□       At least a week.

□       No less than two weeks.

□       Longer _________________

My honeymoon travel preference is:

□       To see more of the U.S.  

□       Explore places abroad  _____________________

My favorite vacation spot is:

□       Strolling along a nice, sandy beach.

□       Hiking in the mountains.

□       Experiencing the culture and bustle of the city.

□       Disconnecting from the world… at sea.

I would be most comfortable:

□       Camping out or staying in hostels.

□       Visiting with family and friends.

□       Just picking out lodging as we go.

□       Making sure all rooms have been reserved in well known hotels or condos.

□       Having the best money can buy, i.e., luxury!

□       Absolutely!

□       Heaven Forbid!
 

Honeymoons are frequently know for the amazing food that is available on cruises and in hotels; I anticipate we will have:

□       Just quick meals from diners and fast-food franchises.

□       Taking time to share creating interesting meals for ourselves.

□       A step up from fast food, but still taking in inexpensive local restaurants.

□       The ambiance of an elegant hotel where the food is included in our honeymoon package.

□       The best of the best in local restaurants; I want to try them all!

□       Our hotel. I want a honeymoon where food is included in the price.

□       Staying in our room and ordering service from the hotel.

The days are filled with fun and activity; the nights should be filled with:  

□       Dancing, dancing, and more dancing.

□       Taking in the local street musicians.

□       Having time to experience the local culture.

□       Just hanging out watching movies.

□       Are you kidding? It’s my honeymoon!

Now for the real fun!   Comparing your answers and deciding how to work out all the details and compromises.  And,  when you are ready to take the next step… email me at Jan-Vitale@cox.net with HONEYMOON TRAVEL in the subject line.
