Honeymoon Vacations

I will be leaving on Sept. 14 or 15 from Louisville, KY. I want to take a two week, international vacation for less than $5,000 including air, accommodations and most of the rest. I don’t want to go to the Caribbean or Mexico–spending 2 weeks on the beach sounds far too boring. Western Europe is out as well, I’ve traveled most of Western Europe before and my fiance wants to go somewhere that is new to both of us. I want adventure travel, not deluxe travel. Anything is an option–Peru, Thailand, Morocco, Croatia, etc. Where should I go? Any links to particular trip options or vacation packages will be greatly appreciated.

I’m not sure of your age, or if your budget of $5,000 includes trips for both your fiance and yourself, but I’ve used Contiki Holidays before and they are FANTASTIC. They’re geared for the age group 18-35, and try for the "fun and adventurous" vacation package.

This New Zealand package (http://contiki.com/tours/81-grand-adventurer-finish-queenstown) is 15 days and around $1500/person (without airfare, although they will help you book it if you need). You can browse their website for more trips.

I’ve never used this company, but it looked promising on the website: http://www.goaheadtours.com/master/destination/overview.asp?tourcode=TUD. The Turkish adventure tour package, includes airfare and seems to fit in your budget– as well as being fast paced and exciting!

My fiance and I are getting married next October, and we are considering honeymooning in the Caribbean. My question is simple: Where should we go? All of the websites I’ve looked at tell you that "this island/this hotel is the best." Clearly, they can’t all be the best. Which is the most cost efficient vacation spot? I don’t mind paying a higher price if the location is worth the money, but I certainly don’t want to be wasting money. We would like to snorkel/scuba and have nice beaches (I’m sure they all are nice…) and possibly have some oceanic wildlife around the area we could check out.

Also, we are probably going the "all-inclusive" route, so if you can recommend a hotel/resort, that would be great!

Thanks!

well Barbados is a great island to come to. There is wonderful scenery and beautiful beach spots. The beaches that u will like are Dover beach and miami beach and even Accra beach. It is cost effient and they are many all inclusive hotels such as The crane hotel, Accra hotel and the savvanah hotel. The snorkling here is a very big tourist attraction you get to snorkel and dive with the turtles. And yes you can also get to scuba dive, there is even a submarine that you can go in and get to look at all the wonderful sea life at the bottom of the boat.
It is really Great in Barbados come and see for yoursel! =)
