Hornso Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Got engaged at Christmas and perhaps the only thing keeping me sane about the initial stress of planning the wedding, is the honeymoon ideas. Anyone got some good recommendations for relaxing locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) If you can afford it, Maldives. Incredible place. Otherwise, really depends on if you want the culture, the landscapes, something a bit different, etc. On a budget - somewhere in Scotland very remote - edit, just seen your location, this may not be good for a budget! Pool and sun - some adults only place in Mexico or Greece etc Log cabin in Colorado? Skiiing? Yosemite? Say your budget and places you've enjoyed and you'll get good suggestions Edited January 13, 2017 by darrenm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Palau. A stunning archipelago in the Pacific. It's a 4 hours flight from South Korea and is one of the worlds top destinations for snorkeling and scuba diving. Couple that with pristine beaches and it has all the hallmarks of a superb honeymoon destination. It's not cheap mind...

ender4 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 we did Maldives for our honeymoon. we chose one of the smallest islands, you could literally walk across it in 4 mins, and the 1 restaurant was a sandy outdoor area in the middle of the island. There were about 10 luxury beach huts to stay in. and probably 10 other people on the island, we virtually saw no other guests except when we went for food in the central area. nothing else on the island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say your budget and places you've enjoyed and you'll get good suggestions Would be looking for a pool and sun, relaxing kind of honeymoon based on our previous holidays but also with the option of 1-2 day trips to landmarks or scenery etc. We've been to Karon Beach (Phuket) before and we are headed to Fiji in May of this year. At the moment we're considering Hawaii (Honolulu and Maui). I thought of Mexico but a friend warned us off it due to the Zika virus. Missus wants to go to the Greek Islands so maybe that's what we should be looking into... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the stadium tour the next day after it had been announced Sherwood had been sacked. Also managed to get into the away fans area for our following trips to Southampton (Cup) and Tottenham. Loved all of it apart from our performances. Would love to come back and see us win a few and be there when Villa Park is really rocking. Don't think it is high on the list of the missus priorities though... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most days were getting on a boat going to deserted islands and shipwrecks and snorkeling with incredible fish and manta rays in the warm Indian ocean.

alreadyexists Posted January 29, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2017 My wife and I did a road trip around California, Nevada and Arizona, it was the best three weeks of my life and I would do it again in a second if I could! Our itinerary was, in not too much detail; LA, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Yosemite, San Francisco, Napa, Monterey (whale watching!), Santa Barbara, Santa Monica... If you can make it work then do it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
