Happy Honeymoon Tips

After the hustle and bustle of wedding plans and the wedding itself, your honeymoon should be a time to relax and enjoy one another's company. With a little preplanning and research, you can be on your way with little to no stress.

The very first thing to consider is your budget. How much are you willing to spend? Is this amount an absolute or will you have a cushion? Consider frequent flyer miles and hotel miles into the equation. Why not put all of your wedding expenses on a single credit card which offers frequent flyer rewards?

Next, you'll need to decide on a destination. Do you want a warm tropical island or a mountain cabin in a colder region? Do you want in an area where there are a lot of other people or seclusion? Sit down and write separate lists of what you want and where you'd like to go, then compare. If your lists are quite different, work toward a plan that offers you both some of what you'd like. You can always find common ground.

Now you need to decide when you want to go and for how long. Do you plan to leave the morning after the wedding or would you like to take several days or weeks to rest? How many vacation days do you need to take? Taking ample time, in both respects, makes for a more relaxed time.

Consider a travel agent. They can be invaluable. They may have travel packages that will help to take the strain off your budget. They can tell you what the weather in generally like in your chosen destination. They will also have information about the place including any sites of interest, restaurants and tours. A travel agent can save you time and money.

Now that you've made these decisions and it's time to prepare for your departure, there are a few more tips and considerations for you such as traveler's checks. How much cash and how much in traveler's checks do you want to carry? Do you plan to take a major credit card? For protection, make copies with clear numbers of everything. Take one with you and keep one at a safe place at home. You'll have this information in the unlucky event that you are robbed.

Traveler's insurance will protect you from the unexpected. Weather events such as hurricanes, illness or any other reason for missing your expected departure time are covered. Most terms will offer a voucher good for up to a year.

Make a list of what to pack. Be aware of airline restrictions. And don't forget your camera and plenty of film!

Thought and planning when it comes to your honeymoon plans can make your trip go smoother and take the worry out of it.
