 The
Planning
This is normally a trip of a life time so make sure you plan and book your honeymoon well
in advance. Something couples sometimes forget to do, is to make arrangements with someone
to collect their wedding day clothes as suitcase space is properly limited. Remember that
if you are not going away on the night of the wedding you may want to book a local hotel,
it maybe a good idea to stay at a different hotel than where your reception was held, this
gives you a feeling of privacy, however some hotels may offer you a discount on your room
if your reception is being held there so the choice is yours. The other thing to consider
is if you are leaving for your honeymoon the next day you may want to book a hotel near
the airport.
The Booking
Booking your honeymoon and destination requires
careful though, first which date is more important the wedding or the honeymoon, does the
honeymoon need to follow the wedding or are you happy to wait a while. The reason behind
these question are due to holiday seasons and weather, The busiest months for wedding are
July and August however this ties in nicely with the rainy season in the tropics and with
the start of the tourist season in Europe. Some couples have a short break rather than a
honeymoon as such, then at a later stage have their dream holiday/Honeymoon.
Travel Guide
Firstly, keep within your budget, there is no point
in travelling half way around the world just to be confined to your room due to lack of
funds. When arranging your honeymoon remember that all details will need surnames, so a
good idea is to use the brides maiden name unless you have time to change all documents
needed, another good tip on arranging your honeymoon is to let the travel agent know its
your honeymoon, they may be able to upgrade you or at least give you a free bottle of
bubbly. As with all travel plans make sure you have insurance and medical protection and
those all important vaccinations.
My bags are packed I'm ready to go......
Packing a bag is a art in itself but having spent
most of my life overseas here are a few hints.
 |
Firstly rap all breakables in plastic bags then
place in a sock or shoe for padding. |
|
Shoes and the likes are better in a holdall. |
|
Lay your smart clothes at the bottom (flat) with
tissue between the layers. |
|
Socks, knickers, underpants and shorts can be
rolled up and placed down the side. |
|
What about a case within a case, back the smaller
case then place inside a slightly larger case, so when you buy all those souvenirs
you will have somewhere to pack them. Dirty clothes also take up more space than you
think. |
|
Carry a good size holdall. (rather than a handbag)
for your documents and other valuables you want to keep by your side also a change of
clothes just in case and don,t forget the makeup. |
|
Mix your clothes rather than having a his and hers
suitcase just in case one goes missing. |
