Honeymoons??

We spent 10 days in Italy, which was amazing. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

ZTAngel, what part of Costa Rica where you in? For our 1 year anniversary we spent 8 days in Costa Rica and loved it!! I've been trying to get back ever since!!

Well we had our wedding and honeymoon both in Ireland...and traveled a bit with friends and family who were with us, so I guess technically we didn't have an "alone"-time honeymoon, but that was ok. Having a destination wedding we knew that would happen.

We spent 6 days in Dublin (part of it was over Christmas eve/day and St. Stephen's day), 3 days in Kinsale, 2 days in Dundalk (the town where we married), 3 days in Galway, and drove all over the darned place, and we still didn't do all that we wanted.

We went all over. We spent a few days by Arenal, then went to Liberia, then to San Ramon/Cloud Forest and lastly to San Jose. It was a lot of traveling...especially because a lot of those places are 4 hours apart and the roads are nowhere near as well maintained as they are in the U.S. but we enjoyed every minute that we were there.

I second the point about putting a few days between your wedding day and leaving for your honeymoon. If you don't think you'll be up to leaving the very next morning, don't try to.

My friend booked a 6:00 am flight the morning after her wedding, and they didn't get to their hotel until 12:30 am. So they didn't get any sleep and were in airports all day, she says it was miserable and if she could have a do-over, she would have either left MUCH later in the day on Sunday or waited until Monday.

Good point. We left on Sunday after our wedding but we left at 12:30 PM. So we had time to get some sleep and then get to the New Orleans airport on time. My cousin left for his wedding at 5am the Sunday after his wedding. They planned on just staying up all night and partying, which really isn't my idea of fun, but each to their own!

My husband and I found out about 2 months before our wedding that our original flight was cancelled and that we were placed on a flight that was leaving at 6:00am the morning after the wedding (i believe the original flight was for 4 or 5 in the afternoon).
I was planning on not sleeping a wink because neither of us had any time to pack (I was about 1/3 packed) and we didn't get home until 11:30 that evening. Thankfully we checked our answering machine and they called to tell us that our flight now was pushed back to 12:30pm. THANK GOD!!! We got some rest, packed, and even had a chance to go through all of our cards from the wedding.

I felt more prepared to go on our honeymoon with just a difference of a few hours than I would've if we left at 6am that morning.
