Sunflower Dude and I booked our honeymoon today! We had been kicking around ideas, and were most enamored with spending some relaxing time in Quebec City, Canada. We love the European charm and romance that the city provides, and it’s only a 5 hour drive from our wedding location. We considered going somewhere further and more exotic, however, since I’m stressing enough about the wedding, I wanted to have an easy relaxing honeymoon. Also, saving a bit of money on this trip will still allow us to go on our yearly January trip to Mexico! We booked our honeymoon at the beautiful and majestic Fairmont le Chateau Frontenac.
 Fairmont Chateau Frontenac I jumped at the chance today to book when I heard news of this amazing sale for Fairmont Hotels!
If you’re considering a Fairmont destination for your honeymoon, do it before April 20th! This allowed us to save about 50% on our hotel stay! So I have already booked us a couples massage in the spa

I am a AAA member, and one of the perks of membership is receiving Via, a bi-monthly travel magazine. Honestly, I have chucked the magazine into recycling every time I have gotten it… until today. It caught my attention this time around because I saw “Mendocino Getaway” on the front cover and beautiful Mendocino, CA is where we are planning to go for our honeymoon.

Honeysuckle Dude and I decided not to go on a honeymoon immediately after the wedding mostly due to scheduling. We’re both teachers and so taking off in the middle of a semester was not going to fly.
 Photo by Liz Duren Postponing the honeymoon until a school break really didn’t come as a disappointment as we found lots of benefits in delaying the honeymoon, such as:
- less stress- Planning the wedding is stressful enough. I’m glad I didn’t have to add planning an itinerary for the honeymoon as I was busy with all of those last minute details. We also didn’t have to worry about packing everything for the honeymoon and make travel arrangements.

We booked our Honeymoon this week. It’s exciting and scary all at once. It’s super exciting that we’ve finally decided on a location (2, actually), and made reservations and travel arrangements. It’s one big thing to cross of our list.

I am a big planner, and I didn’t really feel I had the time to truly weigh our options in terms of cost, activities, etc. I wonder – did we get a good deal? How much will food and activities run us? Will we need to rent a car? Are there enough things for us to do? Did we choose the right hotels? Did we choose the right islands? Is this going to break our budget? But, maybe I’m just being paranoid.

When picking a date for our wedding, we focused mainly on the weather conditions at the location of our ceremony and reception. However, when it came down to deciding on where we wanted to go for our honeymoon, we realized one of our very favorite places to visit didn’t have the ideal weather during the same time. We absolutely LOVE the Caribbeans, but we’re getting married in the fall and as most of you know, that means hurricane season.

When Plumeria Dude and I first started talking about a honeymoon, we figured there were a number of options available to us that were relatively convenient to Islamorada:

I admitted to myself today that I’m actually sick. I’m one of those people who will deny that the red nose and voice that sounds like you’re speaking underwater is NOT in fact, sickness, but that you are as healthy as a horse. I also cry when I’m sick. It’s not a pretty combo, hence the lying to myself.
As I sit at work sniffling in the cold Northeast, I want to consume my time looking at pictures of Hawaii. Dahlia Dude and I made the decision this past week to Honeymoon there, with a stop on Kauai (seriously the most beautiful place on earth) and maybe one other place.

Calla Lily Dude and I have lived together for a year or so now and we have all of the “traditional” wedding gift items already, so we decided to do a honeymoon registry for our wedding.
We’ll be honeymooning in Mendocino, CA for a great mix of outdoor adventures, such as sea kayaking and hiking, and pampering ourselves with delicious local foods and spa services. Oh, and did I mention the beautiful California coast as a backdrop to this adventure?
Honeymoon registries give your guests the opportunity to add their special touch to your honeymoon and help make your honeymoon something to remember!
If you are thinking about having a honeymoon registry, I recommend doing plenty of research before choosing a place to register with. We went with Traveler’s Joy because they were easy to set-up, had minimal fees, and will donate to charities of our choice through the I Do Foundation.
