When it comes to getting married, it seems like the entire focus is on the wedding day. The dress, cake, hair, etc are all expected to be perfect. What about the perfect honeymoon trip? Many people shy away from the exotic honeymoon spots because they don’t know where to begin their planning. Most locations, however, are surprisingly accessible if you have an experienced travel coordinator guiding your plans. You just need to find the right honeymoon travel packages.
Planning the Perfect Honeymoon Trip
One of the first things you need to do is set up a budget. This budget should take into account airfare, hotels, foods, drinks, transportation, and even passports.
Once you have figured out your budget then decide where you want to go. When thinking of honeymoons many people just think of the usual Hawaii, California, or Cancun vacations. If that is what you’re looking for, then great. Just remember not to discount other trips such as Bora Bora, Aruba, the Greek Isles, or Europe. There are so many possibilities. In reality this should be the hardest part of planning your honeymoon trip.
The next step is to get online and look at honeymoon travel packages. Finding an all inclusive travel package can remove a lot of stress, and can be more affordable than you might realize. Many resorts and travel websites offer great deals on all included trips. These usually take care of airfare, meals, accommodations, and some even include prepaid activities.
After you find a honeymoon travel package you want then be sure to book it soon. Usually the earlier you book, the cheaper your flight.
The last step is to make sure you have all the documentation you need. If you’re leaving the country be sure that your passport is up to date. Make sure and check if you need a visa, or any vaccinations. Don’t let the details keep you from having the perfect honeymoon trip!
Before You Go
There are a few things that should be taken care of a few weeks before you leave that will make your honeymoon trip go a lot more smoothly.
Pack a week early – It is important to know the weight limit of luggage you can take on your flight. You don’t want to have to leave a bag at the airport because you’re over the weigh limit. It is also important to have clothing for all types of weather. Lastly, don’t forget the lingerie.
Confirm reservations- Be sure to do this at least a few weeks in advance. Give yourself time to reorganize any changes that need to be made, or to recover from unexpected booking errors.
Make arrangements – If you have pets make sure you know who is taking care of them. Give them contact information in case of emergencies. You also need to make arrangements for mail. Either have the post office hold your mail, or have a neighbor pick it up while you’re gone.
Make photocopies – It is so important to have copies of your license, passport, visa, and even credit cards. You don’t want to be stranded without any of these. Have one copy that you take with you in a separate bag from the original. Leave another copy at home.
Exchange rates – Be sure you know the exchange rates, and the currency you use. Don’t be caught by surprise if the exchange rate is higher than expected.
If you take care of all of this early then your wedding will be more stress free. Stressing about the honeymoon on your wedding day should be the last thing you do. A Honeymoon trip is about relaxing and enjoying each others company. Don’t let planning this be a source of stress. Looking at all inclusive travel packages, and honeymoon packages will be a great place to start in planning what should be one of the most memorable vacations you and your spouse will take.
