Relationship Quiz - Is The Honeymoon Over?

There comes a stage in love relationship when the relations mature to a certain level. The initial attraction and knowing about each other is finished. The romance slowly gives way to living with each other and taking the relationship ahead. This phase is fraught with many obstacles as are all the others phases of romantic relationships. The biggest problem after the honeymoon is over is to see the real person. Till the honeymoon is in progress, the lovers make their own image of their beloved. After the honeymoon is over, they get to see the real person. Let us talk about this phase.

This is the phase of facing reality. The dream is over and the relationship enters a different phase. Both the lovers want to impose their will on each other. They do not give in easily to each other, but fight for their own point of view. What was once a very sweet voice now becomes a shrill demand. Blames are made and shocking changes occur in the affair.

This stage is a important stepping stone to a long term relationship. If the lovers can define their association, their rights and their need for each other at this stage and reach an agreement, they can grow into a very mature couple. Otherwise, with the romance getting finished, the lovers are left with nothing but broken hearts and disbelief. Communication and mutual understanding is the key to succeed after honeymoon.

Every relationship that is devoid of romantic assumptions demands co existence with respect for each other, need for each other, common goals and common values. If the couple can do that, they can proceed towards a long lasting relationship. If any of these is missing, there will be bickering all the time, and the relations will break after some time or continue with great pain for each other.

Where in Tahiti can you get the most for your money?

I find you get the most for your money in Moorea (http://www.gomoorea.com/). Less than 10 minutes away from Papeete by air (or less than one hour by ferry) are the deep, spectacular bays and white sand beaches of Moorea.

No one will argue that Moorea is a land of unsurpassed beauty. The majesty of the island rises above its twin bays, to the Belvedere Lookout, where the tops of the soaring peaks dominate the skyline.

Moorea's loveliest beaches are located between the Moorea Village and the Hotel Beachcomber, as well as near the Sofitel Ia Ora.

Besides relaxing on the beach overlooking multi-hued waters, you can occupy yourself with numerous activities. One unique experience that you won't forget is 'Dolphin Quest', where you can actually swim with dolphins. There is a Tropical Aquarium Center at Cook's Bay, the perfect spot to investigate some of the underwater wildlife prior to a day of snorkeling. Learn about the region's sea life at this exceptional aquarium so you can identify the beautifully colored fish and coral. Be sure to visit Papetoai Temple, a uniquely shaped octagonal church and the oldest European building in the South Pacific, or Moorea Distillery and Fruit Juice Factory, to sample excellent juices, liqueurs and spirits.

Moorea's underwater world is as amazing as well, with coral sea beds and rich sea life. Many of our customers learn to dive in Moorea because of the favorable conditions of crystal clear, fairly shallow water around the lagoon.

Where do the stars go?

Tom, Katie and his kids (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) were just reported staying in an overwater villa at Le Taha'a Private Island and Spa this past March.

Other favorite resorts of the rich and famous include Bora Bora Nui Resort and Spa, Hotel Bora Bora and Te Tiare Beach Resort.

What sets Tahiti apart from other destinations like Hawaii or Mexico?

Well, that's an easy one! For starters, these are the most beautiful tropical islands in the world thanks to their dramatic geography, lush tropical vegetation and their unique multicolored crystal lagoons.

The weather is a big plus and even during the periods of November through April, Tahiti averages more sunshine hours than Honolulu. The average ocean temperature is in the low 80's.

If you want big hotels, lots of people around and an ordinary vacation, then Tahiti is not for you. Tahiti receives fewer tourists in an entire year than Hawaii gets in a single day!

There are no big resorts in Tahiti and very few tourists or locals to be seen, so you have the entire magical environment basically to yourself.

If you compare a week in Tahiti to a week in Waikiki or Cancun it will not be a fair comparison. For the price, Hawaii or Mexico will not include private bungalows on pristine secluded beaches or overwater bungalows surrounded by turquoise lagoons with glass floors for feeding and viewing tropical fish. Tahiti is not for every budget, but it is an excellent value for extraordinary memories. Also, in Tahiti, there will be no tipping or added taxes.

When is the best time of the year to go to Tahiti?

This is always a big question: "What is the weather going to be like when I take my vacation in the month of _____???" Tahiti (http://www.thebigday.com/TravelShop/Tahiti.asp) enjoys warm, tropical weather year round, but is subject to intermittent rainstorms throughout the year. The rain comes in the form of a tropical storm that usually arrives quickly and disappears just as fast. There is no noticeable temperature variation throughout the year.

Roughly speaking there are two "seasons": the slightly warmer and more humid period between November and April, when rains can fall intermittently (highs of 85F and lows of 70F at night), and the cooler, drier season between May and October (highs of 82F and lows of 70F).

Do you have any "hidden gems" of Tahiti?

Definitely the private motus (a motu is a small islet on the reef). I would highly recommend taking a lagoon and motu beach picnic, and discover the beauty of the lagoons by catamaran on your way to a secluded relaxing motu. The operator will usually pick you up at your hotel around 9:30am and drop you off at 3:00pm. Typically, your host will set up a table in the lagoon water on a private motu and serve you a feast of lobster, crab, steak, chicken, traditional Tahitian foods, fruit and champagne. You will also have time to enjoy snorkeling around the island, strolls along the beach, or napping under a palm tree.

A Fiji Honeymoon: An Insider's Look

Aruna Halpin is one of the top Fiji travel specialists at TheBigDay Travel. Aruna shares her insider's knowledge of Fiji in the following interview.

In Fiji, where can we get the most for our money?

Fiji offers a wide variety of places to stay, from low budget to world-class. You'll benefit from bulk rates by taking a package tour instead of paying the higher "rack rate" the hotels charge.

You will get the most for your money at Qamea, Tokoriki, Matamanoa, Namale, Malolo, Maravu, Castaway, Mana, Jean Michel Cousteau and Matangi.

Where do the celebrities go when vacationing in Fiji?

Wakaya Island - Canadian industrialist David Harrison Gilmour bought the island for US $3 million, and in 1990 opened The Wakaya Club, with nine spacious cottages starting at USD $2,000 double plus tax, all-inclusive (five-night minimum stay).

The service is excellent, the snorkel superb, and there's scuba diving, nine hole golf course, a swimming pool, and an airstrip for charter flights (USD$1,200 roundtrip per couple from Nadi). Only game fishing and massage costs extra.

As you might expect at these prices (Fiji's highest!), it's all very tasteful and elegant-just ask Pierce Brosnan, Russell Crowe, Tom Cruise, Celine Dion, Bill Gates, Nicole Kidman or Burt Reynolds. It's sort of a country club for the rich and famous, rather than a trendy social scene.

When compared to Hawaii or Mexico, what sets Fiji apart from other destinations?

Fiji's comparatively inexpensively priced vs. that of destinations such as Tahiti and Hawaii. The largest resort in Fiji only has about 400 rooms - very small in comparison to most hotels in Hawaii.

One of Fiji's main attractions is the many small islands scattered around the coral reefs. Resorts on these small islands are quite common, especially in the Mamanuca Group, visible to the west of Nadi Airport. Beach side villas and traditional thatch bures are the most popular style of accommodation in Fiji. English is widely spoken. The snorkeling and diving are some of the best in the world. All in all Fiji is very exotic, quiet and serene.

What's the best time to go to Fiji?

Fiji (http://www.thebigday.com/TravelShop/Fiji.asp) enjoys a tropical climate year-round. If you're coming from North America, you should try to set out between April 26th to June 17th, or July 19th and August 26th, because that's when airfares on Air Pacific and Air New Zealand are at their lowest levels.

The airlines have made late April to August their low season because that's winter in New Zealand and Australia, their main destinations, but by a happy coincidence June to October are the coldest and driest months in Fiji. You'll miss the hurricane season, which runs from November to April. The hotels/resorts offer low prices in February and March as most are vacant.

Do you suggest any "hidden gems" in Fiji?

In recent years, smaller luxury resorts have multiplied in remote locations such as Vatulele Island, Royal Davui Island, Toberua Island, Taveuni Palms Resort, Beqa Island, and Wadigi Island.

Prices at the "boutique" resorts begin at several hundred dollars a day and rise to four figures, so some care should be taken in selecting the right one.

Honeymooners Enjoy Romance And Relaxation Options

Planning a wedding is stressful enough. Planning a honeymoon should be a pleasure. As long as both the bride and groom agree on the locale and the activities, this part of the new life adventure should be a snap to plan. Creating plans for the perfect romantic honeymoon should include things that appeal to both, however. If one likes the water and the other hates it, a beach trip might want to be avoided.

Typically, a good honeymoon that's nice and romantic can take place anywhere the honeymooners can get some quality time together with a lot of privacy. Very few people want a lot of others around during their special once-in-a-lifetime trip together. The vacation, whether it's for a weekend or an entire month, is meant to help you both ease in to married life and create lasting memories. It should be fun, relaxing and romantic.

Before planning a trip, it's a good idea for both the bride and groom to sit down and discuss options. Be certain to pick a place together - one that really appeals to both. Although it's likely a lot of time will be spent in the room, venturing out should be a fun option that offers lots of romantic possibilities, too.

Here are some tips on places to go:

* Beach destinations. For many, there are few things more romantic than watching a sunset on a pristine beach while sipping on drinks with little paper straws and watching palm trees sway in a warm breeze. If this appeals, places such as Florida, South Carolina, California, Hawaii and even some European destinations and the islands of the Caribbean and so on are all good ideas. They all offer their own special appeal and other possibilities for romance and adventure.

* Europe. If staying in a historic city, perhaps within the walls of a romantic, medieval castle, sounds like a dream come true, countries such as Germany, England, Scotland and Ireland might be considered. Sightseeing possibilities are incredible in any of the destinations and accommodations can really be as upscale or as basic as a couple's budget demands.

* Mountains. There are few places more romantic than secluded mountain cabins. Getting back to nature offers some incredible views, which happen to be very romantic and the privacy can't be beat. Places to consider for this type of trip include anywhere in the Smokey Mountains, the Rockies, Pennsylvania, New York, Canada and Europe. Again accommodations can include upscale lodges or more rustic cabins or even tent camping. Whatever both the bride and groom deem goes.

* Ocean cruises. When it comes to beautiful views and upscale treatment, cruises are unstoppable. With lots to see and do, there's plenty to appeal outside of the stateroom.

No matter where you go or what you do on your honeymoon, remember the trip is for both the bride and groom. It's a time to kick back, relax and get to know each other even better before the day-to-day routine of married life sets in. Just make certain the trip appeals to you both, make it fun and relax; it's the stuff lifelong memories are made of.

A romantic honeymoon can be cheap, affordable or extravagant. As long as the two most important people are having fun, that's all that matters. Leave the stress of planning behind at the wedding and just enjoy the honeymoon.
Honeymoons.

Planning Your Honeymoon

Almost as fun as planning your wedding is planning your honeymoon. You want your first trip together as husband and wife to be memorable and it's tempting to take an 'anything goes' approach. After all, you're likely to get lots of wedding gifts in the form of cold, hard cash so why not?

Well for one, you want to be able to eat and see the sights when you arrive, so you've got to use some discretion when making your arrangements. Many couples find that it is possible to have a great honeymoon, even if they're sticking to a budget and all it takes is some planning.

When is the best time to plan the honeymoon? Obviously sooner is better, especially if you intend to travel to a popular destination during peak season. But at a minimum, while you are putting together your wedding budget, it's a good idea to allocate funds for this adventure together and work from there.

To help determine an appropriate budget, you've got to think about your possibilities, and of course, you've got to be realistic. A good way to start planning your honeymoon is to think about the things you both like to do in your free time, think about places you've only dreamed of visiting, and think about what you realistically intend to do while away. You can also use the Internet or a travel agent to help you come up with honeymoon ideas.

Once you've selected a destination, it's time to get busy making your travel arrangements. Special deals are out there, but you've got to be aggressive in your search for them. Don't despair; it'll likely be worth the effort. And the great deals might not always involve getting the lowest price. It's the extras that'll turn this ordinary trip into something extraordinary. Perhaps the deal includes getting a suite with a breathtaking view, or being greeted with a bottle of champagne.

When you're down to only 3 months left until the wedding date, you should have your travel arrangements firmly in place. Know where you're going, how you're getting to the airport (after the reception) and once you arrive at your destination, how you'll be getting to your accommodations. Once you're in place, the rest of the vacation can run its course. If you wish, you can plan some day trips in advance. This far out, also make sure vaccinations and passports are current, if applicable.

A few weeks before your departure, start gathering the things you'll bring with you on your honeymoon: camera and film/memory cards, swimsuits, day and evening wear, traveler's checks, tickets, documents, confirmation numbers for ALL reservations (including person's name if possible), and a bit of local currency for tipping. Set aside somewhere safe.

Then as the approaching days become more stressful than you can handle, close your eyes and picture yourselves lazily lying around your honeymoon suite, with not a care in the world except how soon you'll be able to return! Finally! James Calvin has released A Simple, Step-By-Step Guide To Throwing The Most Unforgettable, Wedding - And How You Can Literally Save Thousands In The Making Of YOUR Wedding!

Backyard Honeymoons

A small honeymoon budget does not mean you have to sacrifice romance. Nowhere is it written that you must travel to an exotic island and stay in a luxury resort. Maybe your idea of romance is snuggling in the same bedroll while camping out under the stars together.

Who knows? Only the two of you!

For super cheap honeymoons try looking in your own backyard. I don't mean "literally" your backyard, but I would be willing to bet that not far from you, there is a perfect little honeymoon getaway.

* If you are from a small town, go to the city. Enjoy the hospitality of an upscale hotel for a couple of nights. Be pampered!

* If you are from the city, get away from it all to a secluded little bed and breakfast inn on a lake somewhere.

Having traveled Canada and the United States all my life, I can tell you that the entire coastline of our North American continent is wondrous. Whether you are in Alaska, Maine, British Columbia, California or Florida, the beaches are breathtaking. Each has it's own special qualities that make it unique and beautiful.

You may be the type that enjoy polar bears, harp seals and whale watching in Alaska. Perhaps you are the outdoors type. Check out the lazy sea lions and try salmon fishing in British Columbia. While you are there, turn around and look at the mountains! They are amazing! Here in Georgia, you can watch and actually feed the dolphins that frolic in the ocean with you as you swim. If you are lucky, they will let you touch them.

A "beach" doesn't necessarily have to be on the ocean. There are some fabulous lakes that offer spectacular views - The Great Lakes for example.

If you can't get near water, choose a hotel with a great pool.

The point is, depending on your personal style, there is a "beach" for everyone!

Too often we are so busy looking for something better that we miss the obvious beauty right under our noses.

Choose that spot within driving distance from you and go for it! Remember, cheap honeymoons are where you find them. They don't have to cost thousands of dollars to be intimate and romantic.

By the way, while you are honeymooning - tell the world! You will be surprised at how many little perks and extras come your way once people know you are newlyweds!
