When choosing a place to honeymoon, the dude and I did quite a bit of research.  First we went over places that we would like to go that neither one of us had been to.  We felt that if one of us knew more about our destination than the other, it might be a little boring for the one who has been there before.  Having all new experiences was top on our list.

The next thing we both wanted was all inclusive.  Either an All Inclusive Resort (in Colorado would be nice) or a Cruise (anywhere).  Getting to rest and just be together was vital to our Honeymoon experience.  The less we had to think, the more relaxing our vacation would be.

Tropical Destinations like Tahiti, Jamaica, Mexico, and Aruba are all great places to honeymoon, but we went to Hawaii last year together and were looking for somewhere cooler than Texas.  Plus we didn’t want to go anywhere that there was even a slight chance of a hurricane or tropical storm, being that it is Hurricane Season.

Our first choice was Canada (and after seeing Sunflower Buds post, I am highly considering Quebec City, Canada for a vacation sometime soon!).  Of course we were thinking more western Canada because we will already be on the West Coast for the wedding.  We heard Canada is beautiful, cooler than Texas in the Summer (duh…where isnt?), full of things to do outside, great local pubs, and restaurants.  We just couldn’t find too many All Inclusive Resorts we were interested in.

Our second choice was The Alaskan Cruise on Princess Cruises.  Many of our family members had been on this cruise and highly recommended it as a honeymoon.  Whenever we mentioned it as our option to anyone, someone had been there or had heard of someone going there saying it was the most amazing trip they had been on.  We liked all the positive feedback we got from this trip, and decided together, to book it!

Booking it was simple.  The dudes parents got us a travel agent who helped us with all the details from getting to Seattle from San Diego to getting to the ship from the Seattle airport.  Since they are paying for our honeymoon I am glad we got a travel agent to do the breakdown for us and also get us all of our paperwork needed to get on the cruise.  I feel very fabulous.

Where are you going on your honeymoon?  or Where did you go?
