Well we have not gone on our honeymoon yet (we are getting married in August). But here is what we are doing. With links to each hotel.

3 days in Los Angeles

8 days in Hawaii Pacific Beach Hotel

7 Whitsunday Islands (of the cost of Australia) Peppers Palm Bay

4 days Sydney Australia The Grace Hotel

3 days Tahiti Le Meridien Tahiti

4 days Bora Bora Le Meridien Bora Bora


The best part is she doesn?t know we are going first class or that we are going to Tahiti and Bora Bora. I just can?t wait to see her reaction when we get to the airport to go back to the US and she finds out we are going to Tahiti and Bora Bora.


If someone would like to guess at the cost and comes within 10% i will spill the beans.
that's some honeymoon you got planned there. Much better than traditional Hawaii. ... and I thought that took a lot of planning... 2 islands and all...

So how much are you paying for all that ?

You have to give it a guess first.

$9361

Well i only plan on doing this once. I also dont see myself being able to do this once i have kids for many many years. Some people like cars, others like to travel. But for me its the reaction i hope to get from here that will last long after the trip.

Probably less than $1000. We went to Myrtle Beach, SC for a week.

BTW, as of last Friday, I have been married 10 years.

Congrats!

Airfare alone would be close to 5 figures, I am guessing about $19,000

Let's just jump that up to 26k, I want to know how much... looks like it would be an amazing trip though.

First its not $30,000 (could be more or less). Second, you tell me how I can prove it and I would be more then happy to. Third it?s not as many days because you cross over the International Date Line which shortens the trip by a day when we go from AU to Tahiti.

Holy crap. Man, you've got good taste and I hope you two have a wonderful time. You're very fortunate. That sounds like a dream trip to me.

Well, either you are very rich or very foolish to spend that much no matter how much you want to have a great time.
