Often the wedding is of priority when it comes to planning and the honeymoon is forgotten almost as an afterthought. Now, I know some brides may say this is often the case because the honeymoon is traditionally left up to the man to plan. But, lets be honest, we all know that isn't the truth...
Remember that the honeymoon is the starting point for the rest of your life, and so why not ensure that you get off to the best start you possibly can. We have put together a few 'honeymoon profiles' to help you find the perfect escape to fit your personalities.
For The Sun Worshipers
For the couple who enjoys the beach, sun, sand and surf. There are really two different options here for you.
1
Those who prefer the social side, and live for team sports might prefer the communal atmosphere of an all-inclusive beach resort. You can mingle with other newlyweds over a sand-castle building contest, get competitive with a game of beach volleyball or forge new friendships while swimming with dolphins.
2
For the couple who prefer their own place in the sun, then you should head to an island retreat with private white-sand beaches. You can unwind to the soft sound of lapping waves, arrange a romantic picnic on a remote beach, or get certified in scuba diving and explore tropical coral reefs with your sweetie.
Survivors Style
If you and your new partner are more the outdoors type, and feel more comfy around a campfire, then why not go for something like an eco-adventure, African Safari, see the pyramids or canoe down the Amazon together.
Fast-Lane Fanatics
If the two of you are the type to wake up to your favourite coffee and The Wall Street Journal, and can't stand being away from the cutting edge, then perhaps you and your partner should talk about seeing a fast paced and exciting city abroad, rather than lying on a deserted beach somewhere. There are so many cities abroad which are just full of culture, museums, live theatres and 5 star restaurants.

Fit to be Pampered
Sure, everybody loves to be pampered. Do a little gym training and yoga all in a days work? Then a spa honeymoon is probably just your fantasy. You will begin your days hiking through local mountains and getting focused in a yoga class, and wind down dining on fresh organic cuisine. Starting a new health regime as you embark on your life together is a recommended prescription for even the most incurable romantics.
Train Memories
A honeymoon by train can give you romance, in a luxurious suite with a moving view. With many stops along the way for a constant sense of adventure and everything looking new and ever changing. So, if delving into local stories of small towns and greasy spoons appeals to you, take your time as you transverse through destinations such as the Louisiana bayous, Grand Canyon, Redwood Forest, or Alaskan tundra.
Love Nesters
Sometimes, a "Do Not Disturb" sign just is not going to cut it, and getting snowbound in a mountain cabin with no phone, fax machine, or television sounds more like your ideal honeymoon. Whether it's a trip to the Poconos, an escape to your parents' beach house, or a stack of videos with popcorn and champagne in your own home, your favourite kind of getaway is laid-back and low-key. After all, as the saying goes, home is where the heart is.
