For many newly engaged couples, planning for the much anticipated honeymoon is an exciting time. It can also be somewhat stressful. While visions of exotic locales and sultry romance dance in their heads, arranging for the perfect getaway can sometimes become overwhelming.
Time restraints before the wedding can greatly hinder the fun of planning for the honeymoon. Perusing countless pages of online travel sites and magazines in search of unadulterated vacation bliss can be stifling. Millions of advertisements, package deals, and “honeymoons of a lifetime” flashing across the computer at warp speed, can lead to confusion and frustration for couples who are unsure of what they really desire.
To make planning for your honeymoon a bit simpler, here are a few ideas that may give you more direction. Ranging from inexpensive to “you’ve got to be kidding me”, these ideas are guaranteed to make the first moments you spend together as husband and wife unforgettable.
The Amazon
For the more adventuresome couple, the Amazon offers a unique and highly exhilarating honeymoon experience. Amazing wildlife, plants, and scenery make this ideal for those who always dreamed of being like Indiana Jones. Together, you can explore remote Indian villages, visit the Incan shrines, or take an exotic cruise down the Amazon River.
The Great Outdoors
This vacation can be as exciting as you want it to be. Take a trip into the mountains and white water raft back down or explore nature’s beauty on a romantic hike into the forest. Snuggle up beneath the starry sky or cook a romantic meal in the cottage. There’s nothing quite like the smell of pine and a crackling fireplace to bring out the animal instinct in each of you.
Thrill Seeking
Remember how great it was when the carnival came to town? The thrill of freefalling hundreds of feet on the scariest rides imaginable. Bring back those long lost childhood delights by escaping with your loved one to an adult sized theme park. Together you can indulge in the simple pleasures of having your caricatures drawn and eating too much cotton candy. Holding hands in line and making out at the top of the Farris wheel are sure to bring out those feelings of teenage romance all over again. This honeymoon is for the young at heart.
Sail the Night Away
A chartered yacht in the Caribbean may be your idea of romance, or maybe just a small sail boat excursion along the Atlantic coast. Boating honeymoons offer the exhilaration of the salty wind in your hair and a carefree feeling of water beneath your feet. You and your first mate can navigate the waters of life together as you take in breathtaking scenery and wildlife or go below deck to for a secret treasure hunt made just for two.
Remember, this will be the first in many of lifelong memories that you will share. Always consider, as in all of marriage, the desires and needs of your other half. Let both of your imaginations be your ultimate guide as you embark on the journey of a lifetime.
