Planning the honeymoon for next October. Big day is 10-4 good buddy.
I'd like to find a hotel that has the pamper, lock yourself in the room for a few days package, but then we'd like to go and see some sights. We'd like to go somewhere and see something that we would have done on a regular vacation.
We did Ireland this past March with some friends and it was a blast, but I'm thinking we aren't going to want go straight back there, that was my first trip out of the states and I loved it but looking for something different for variety.
We both got about 10k AA miles from that trip, plus two citi AA card bonuses(I got 20k +25k, but its now up to 25k and 25k for her) so we will have enough miles for a free trip anywhere American flys. We'd been thinking about staying in the states to save money, but the free airfare opens up the budget some, although whatever we don't spend from the wedding+honeymoon bucket goes into the house down payment bucket.
We're both interested in Europe, but the Euro and the Pound scare me.
We're not really beach people, I can see where that honeymoon can be a lot of fun, but every family vacation I went on as a kid was to a beach and it burned me out. And locking myself up in a high star resort on an island/area where the entire population works at the hotel doing laundry isn't me either.
I'm just drawing a blank, I was expecting to be scheming ways to afford the ultimate honeymoon, but I need to figure out what the dream is first.
Suggestions pls? kthx
