Cheap Honeymoon Destinations for the Budget Conscious
A honeymoon is a romantic post wedding vacation for newlyweds to
relax and enjoy each others company after the planning and stress leading up to
their wedding. For those on a tight budget planning that luxury cruise or trip
to Hawaii after the wedding may just not be part of the plan. Instead of adding
more financial stress instead consider one of the many cheap honeymoon
destinations that may be available to you.
To plan an inexpensive honeymoon start by doing a little creative brainstorming
with you’re soon to be spouse. Think about all the things you like to do
together as well as alone and make a list of these things. Most of the things
you like to do are probably relatively close to home so make a list of those
destinations. Compare your destinations list with your things you like to do
list and see if there are any possibilities for a romantic escape there.
Spending a few days to a week just traveling to some of those places may make
for the perfect honeymoon.
If you two are the outdoorsy type and have all the necessary gear consider a
camping trip to a national or state park you may have never visited before. You
will find plenty of trails for hiking, beautiful sunsets, and natural beauty at
parks all across the country. The idea is to just spend time alone enjoying each
others company.
If pitching a tent and roughing it is a little too much to ask you can rent a
rustic cabin next to a mountain lake or stream or even an RV for a few days. You
will be surprised at the honeymooning options available to you even a few hours
from your front door if you really look.
If your budget isn’t quite so tight you may also consider a driving vacation.
Depending where you live in the country there are probably some great honeymoon
destinations just a state or two away. The wine country in California or even
Texas, yes, Texas has quite the burgeoning wine industry in the hill country.
These areas also have quite a few bed and breakfasts that are more then happy to
rent a room to a newlywed couple.
Disneyland or Disneyworld can also be great honeymoon destinations. In fact
Disney offers honeymoon packages at either of their parks. Having a fairytale
wedding is that much better with a fairytale honeymoon.
If you are able to spend a little more then consider traveling to more exotic
locations during the off-peak season. Travel to European countries can be
relatively inexpensive during the off season.
Caribbean cruises can also be cheap during off-peak times. The cruise lines need
to fill their empty cabins during these times and will lower prices
dramatically. The beauty of a cruise is you get to visit several ports of call
during your voyage. How much you spend at the ports is of course entirely up to
you. Or you can just stay on board, hang out by the pool, and not spend
anything.
There are plenty of cheap honeymoon destinations to choose from. You just have
to fit what you want to do into your budget. A honeymoon is about the time you
spend with the love of your life, not how much you spend.
