Why not check into the nearest hotel to your home and save yourself a fortune. All these silly people that fly thousands of miles and not see anything outside the hotel room for 2 weeks.

Heathrow to Calgary, Calgary to Vancouver by train through Rockies, Vancouver for a few days then to Vancouver Island by helicopter for whale watching etc. Cruise from Vancouver to Alaska and back. No beaches, lots of scenery and wildlife if you like that sort of thing.

And did you enjoy it?

I'm planning ours, and we're a bit stuck for ideas. Not interested in the USA or getting burned and bored on a beach, which cuts out a lot. Two weeks duration (probably rules out South Pacific due to jetlag). I wondered about Thailand.

Here's to another Scoobynet Survey!

FANTASTIC

stevem2k

Flew into Jo-burg , few days there , up to Botswana for 3 days on Game reserve , back to Joburg , up to Zimbabwe to stay at Vic Falls ( mental white water rafting ), off down to cape town to 'visit' some wineries and all that kind of malarkey.

Well cool.

Norman D. Landing

Not married yet but did have a cracking Hol in northern Italy on Lake Garda. Fantastic place, not too hot and no noisy clubs, it's an 18-30 no no and within an hours drive of Venice, Verona etc.

Peru, and walked the Inca Trail (5 days) - not luxurious but fantastic place!

Me and Miss SWRTWannabe are tying the knot in April, and we are planning to go to Florida. After September 11th and the anthrax outbreaks, they'll almost be paying us to go.

We didn't fancy the Carribean as the foreign office website says don't go out at night, and warns of civil unrest. Guess a lot of it just comes down to common sense, but didn't want to risk it for our honeymoon.

Tried to get the other half to agree to go to Corsica but she immediately sussed that it might coincide with the rally

WillieF

Me and Her tie the knot in December and managed to get the following BA deal.

Edinburgh -> Heathrow
Heathrow - > Hong Kong
three nights in the Ritz Carlton Hong Kong.
Hong Kong - > Singapore
three nights in the Ritz Carlton Singapore
Singapore -> Bangkok
three nights in the Ritz Carlton Bangkok then transfer to Wahhin (sp) which is nice resort type place for 4 nights then home to Edinburgh.
Flying World traveller plus all the way
All transfers included
Half board
£2400 per person...

Expensive I know but you will only do it once..

ScoobyLoobyLou

We get hitched in June and would have loved to have gone to a rally for our honeymoon, but nothing coincides (spelling?!!?).

Left it to him to book! Was that wise?

Two honeymoons (Same wife )

After the wedding (July) spent two weeks doing the "Coast To Coast" walk in reverse (Robin Hood's Bay - St. Bee's Head) staying in B&Bs, Hotels, Pubs etc. About 200 miles over 3 National Parks. Very enjoyable and cathartic. Planning/logistics was fun too.

Following March, went to NZ for 3.5 weeks (need more than 2 weeks to do it IMHO). Awesome place - tempted to emigrate. Went via Singapore which was lovely too.

i thought on a honeymoon, u never get out of the bedroom? or is that just a myth?

philwaring

Same as Puff ... two honeymoons!

Got married last year in October and with the missus being Croatian we had to stay in the UK - she could leave the country but not come back in as her visa only allowed one entry at the time ( ... a trip abroad obviously appealed!! ).

We went to Angelsey in North Wales and stayed in a 16th Century Hall in Beaumaris. It may not sound nice as Wales in October ... but the weather was great, the hotel was super ( great view over the castle, Menai Straights and its 18 hole golf course - although I had to leave the clubs at home as she wouldn't caddy!! ) and the sites to visit up there are lovely.

However, we are planning a proper honeymoon late next year to the Maldives ... can't wait.

Cheers
Phil

We did 1 wk safari in Kenya and 1 wk exploring Zanzibar with BA holidays, 3 yrs ago, it was excellent - cannae remember how much it was but we got a shed-load of for cashing in a few airmiles. Can show you about 1000 phoos if you want (another lion??). Totally recomend it to anyone.
