Tips for Planning the Perfect
Honeymoon
from HoneymoonTravelAgent
The Poconos, PA, December 8, 2006 - There is one thing that all newlyweds
have in common - they agree that their honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
To ensure that to-be-wed couples get the most from their honeymoon experience,
the experts at HoneymoonTravelAgent.com are offering ten tips to help make the
planning experience as fun and carefree as possible.
1) Pick a Destination - Open the lines of communication between partners
talking about what each would ideally like to do and compromise making sure to
include the top things on each spouse's list. A travel agent can help narrow down
the best destination choices as well as activities to do in each area that will
meet the desires of both partners.
2) Budgeting - Set realistic expectations and stick to them. Setting
a budget and being honest with yourself about your limitations is important to
keeping this experience as stress-free as possible.
3) Hire a Professional - It is best to enlist the services of a professional
travel agency with honeymoon or couples getaway specialists when planning a honeymoon.
With billions of Web pages out there, having a trusted professional on your side
is invaluable. What many travelers do not know, is that travel agencies do not
charge a fee for their services.
4) Protect Yourself - Keep all important documents such as birth certificates,
passports, and other forms of identification in a small bag to be used exclusively
for this purpose. Other info that should be stored in the document bag is: data
on travelers' checks including the numbers and amounts, as well as date and place
of purchase; and phone numbers for your bank and credit cards in the unfortunate
event your wallet or purse is lost or stolen.
5) Travel Money - The most carefree and economical way to convert currency
abroad is to make purchases using a major credit card. HoneymoonTravelAgent suggests
leaving store charge cards at home and limiting to a single credit card for all
vacation purchases allowing the traveler to easily catch errors on the bill. Before
departing for vacations abroad, travelers should check with their bank to see
if their ATM card will work in the country they're planning to visit.
6) Preserving Memories - Take lots of pictures and consider using separate
memory cards for digital cameras or rolls of film for each location. Keep a journal
of your travels. It doesn't have to be long - a few sentences about each day's
events or even a series of short blurbs about noteworthy things you've seen or
done will keep those memories from fading.
7) Passports - Ask your travel agent if you will need a passport to
travel to your honeymoon destination. If so, it's never too soon as it can take
as long as 12 weeks. The bride's flight reservation should be made with her maiden
name, so it will match all of her identification.
8) Plan Ahead - Buying tickets in advance to local attractions or tours
often saves precious time. For things that weren't planned in advance, use the
resort's concierge. Leaving things such as restaurant reservations to the concierge,
frees up the honeymoon couple's time.
9) Rental Cars - When choosing a rental car, travel agents often advise
couples to pick the smallest car that would meet their needs including things
they will bring with them as well as purchases they will make while traveling.
10) Don't Sweat the Small Stuff - This is a dream trip, have fun and
enjoy every moment with your new spouse!
