We went skiing at Big White in Canada and stayed on the mountain - it was lovely if skiing is your thing and the timing suits(I was sick a bit but turned out I was pregnant so that explained that).
We also thought about the self sail yachts in the Whitsundays and that was actually going to be it until I suddenly mentioned skiing to my husband to be
We went to Phuket and Bangkok. Phuket was lovely but very tourist, they even have an Aussie pub there.
Very relaxing and we got a pool side room too where u step out of your balcony and it was the pool.
Bangkok was more for shopping after relaxing but didnt really like it as it was too busy.
Reason was because it was relatively cheap and also because we heard lovely things about Phuket.
It was DH's job to organise....
Las Vegas - San Fransisco - Munich - England - tour of France, Holland, Germany, Italy and Belgium - Hong Kong
Absolutely fantastic. Was cheaper to buy round the worl tickets than to go on our first choice which was a train ride across Canada...
we went to Noosa - we werent interested in going somewhere to see the sights IYKWIM ;) lol
it was lovely! beautiful beach, great restaurants etc :)
FIJI :) We stayed at the Radisson Resort, Denarau Island and pretty much just lived it up, we left straight from our Wedding Night Suite and after the months of hype of the wedding we just wanted to wind down - Our idea of a Honeymoon was lots of pampering, relaxation massages, lazing by the pool in the sunshine with delicious food and rich ****tails - Aaaaaah BLISS!! :D We had a category 3 cyclone on our 2nd day there and missed out on about 4 days of Sunshine but that didn't spoil our honeymoon, we loved it :)
Only thing that didn't go to plan was DH leaving our Brand New Video Camera on our table in the coffee shop we had breakfast in the morning we were flying back to Oz - Didn't realise until we were at the airport, even after a rushed trip back to the coffee shop and many phone calls and emails to Fiji once we got home, we never saw it again and sadly lost all our Honeymoon Video Footage, still a bit sore about that - Needless to say, it was a bit of a cold flight back to Brisbane... Great story to laugh about with the Grandkids one day though!!
man I probably sound boring but we packed up the car and did a road trip up the coast got as far as mareeba in nth qld and came home we camped every night bar one on the way home, was fantastic
we did wedding adn honeymoon in one in FIJI. we had teh kids with us so we went to the NAVITI was fab, didnt see teh kids much except to feed them lol
great weatehr swimming booze and food mmmm great times
Was also my Dh's job to organise the honeymoon, and like Kim, we also had round the world tickets.
We went to Las Vegas, New York, Paris and Phuket.
My fave place was definitely New York, I just loved it, so much to see and do, and its just buzzing all the time. Oh what i wouldnt do for a new york hot dog right now....
It was our 3rd time in Phuket, so obviously we love it there too. The beaches are amazing, the locals are ever so friendly, cheap yummy food everywhere, and of course, the shopping...so much fun!
We chose our first 3 destinations cos we have always wanted to visit them, and knew that it would be our last chance to get there for a while before having a family.
I went to The Maldives and Singapore
WA :D We had the BEST time, more than three years on we still reminisce and talk about our honeymoon alot, it was so wonderful. Part of that was being on such a high after getting married, but WA did treat us very well. We had two nights in Perth, another two in Bunker Bay (Margaret River Region), two more in Albany (wasn't too sure about that initially, but ended up having a great time!) and then a week back in Perth. The weather was divine and there is alot to do over there, if you want stuff to do. We took it pretty easy, but still managed to get around a bit. Our holidays tend to be pretty, um, food-focused LOL, and we had SUCH good food (and drink ;)) over there. That was probably the highlight for us :D
Good luck choosing where to go, and have a good time when you get there!!!
ETA Just realised I don't know where you live, if you live in WA you're probably not interested in my post LOL!
Great Ocean Road - I'd never travelled along it, and dh organised it, so fun. Was really good to have the first few nights planned, and then kind of just stay where we wanted. Because it was in the same country, it was really nice and relaxing, and we could just focus on each other and not worry about being at a certain place at a certain time.
Everyone's different, but I reckon overseas would have stressed us out.
We were a student and apprentice at the time, so a costly honeymoon would have been out anyway. :p
We eloped to Broome last August. Best. Honeymoon. Ever.
Total honeymoon and wedding (including travel from Melbourne and accommodation) was less than $6000. Weather was stunning. Totally relaxing, totally beautiful, totally secluded. The accommodation was a B&B self-contained luxury 'tent' just outside Broome, at Coconut Well. Sooooo fantastic. It might be less than twelve months ago, but we still talk about it, and everyone who hears about it is impressed and totally jealous.
Btw, I didn't leave it up to DH to plan. :p He had wanted to go to Cape Trib in Qld, which was our second choice after Broome.
We went to Venice! I know that sounds exotic and expensive, but we got married in Belgium (DH's home country), and we got flights for 1 euro to Venice, so that was the clincher for us! It was low season, middle of winter, and it was perfect. We stayed in a dodgy hotel on the canal, but loved every minute of it. I found out when we got home that we were 8 weeks pregnant, and I'm glad I didn't know that at the time cause I ate so much bad food and drank soooo much wine. Ooops. It was a great honeymoon. :)
Persephone, we really wanted to go to Broome, but we got married at the start of April, and everyone said that it wasn't a good time to go, we should wait until May. I didn't want to push the wedding back, was trying to avoid cold weather, so we decided to leave the wedding date as it was and go to southern WA instead. Don't regret it one little bit, but I have said to DH that we're going to have our 10th anniversary a bit late, and go to Broome :D
We went to Noosaville and it was so perfect!
I gave DH the job of planning the honeymoon as his wedding present to me. I had no idea about any of it until we arrived, it was a total surprise.
We got married in January so it was hot. He just asked me very simply what I want to do most on our honeymoon and I said that I wanted to relax somewhere with a nice pool...well, the resort was perfect! And we did a bit of sight seeing as well, went to Australia Zoo and enjoyed the lovely eateries.
We didnt have a honeymoon :( been married 9 years now....young, new parents, we couldn't afford to, nor for DH to have time off work. We are talking about doing a trip overseas in the next few years, so maybe that will be our honeymoon (with children along for the ride)
We did that too road trip... best holiday ever! Without kids just me and dh pure bloody bliss!:
We stayed in a holiday house on Bribie Island.
It was relaxing, but we got bored... We didn't have much money to do much either.
Tell you what ;) I know a gorgeous coastal town perfect for a honeymoon!
Well I think so anyway ;)
Right here...beautiful beaches, gorgeous holiday houses!
We didn't have a honeymoon as we both couldn't get the time off work :(
We had planned to go to Wilson Island. We will get there one of these days!
We went to Kangaroo Island.
Wow I can't believe all of you lucky ducks who got to go overseas! Makes mine sound boring now...
We did a big road trip too!
Started off at the snow in Mt Hotham (was July), then accross to the east coast, Newcastle, Coffs Harbour, spent a week on the Gold Coast, couple of days in Brisbane and then dumped the car at Brisbane airport and flew up to Townsville just becuase we could!
Came back, got the car and started the slow journey home.
We had such a fantastic time!
DH and I went to Adelaide. We're from Tassie, and we were on a budget. Neither of us had ever been, and we took a wine tour through Barossa Valley (with a bus full of old people, lol). It was simple, but we had a great time :).
We went to Vietnam.....wanted to use the opportunity to go somewhere o/s that we prob wouldn't get around to doing otherwise. As we were saving like crazy for the wedding we just saved extra & it was actually not that exp 5yrs ago. Was a great trip, we went on a tour for almost 2weeks with a group, then we stayed 3days at a resort on our own. Was great for us, I didn't see the point in going somewhere & doing nothing...I would have got bored, we got to learn & see heaps.
FIJI! Tokoriki Island. No kids, no phones, no telly, no CLOCKS allowed.
Awweeeesome!
We spent 3 weeks in Tasmania, got on the ship in Melbourne right after our wedding.
We drove around via Devonport - Stanley - Launceston - Ross - Port Arthur - Hobart - Strahan - Devonport.
We only organised it so far as the accomodation & stayed in some gorgeous places. We did some amazing things & had such a fabulous time. I spent as much time researching Tasmania as I did on the wedding!! We hate sitting around on holidays & were busy everyday.
I love looking at the photos - all 1000 of them!! We look so happy & excited in every single one.
*** CheezelMonster *** ... a few friends of mine have had their honeymoons in Tassie & loved it too (including DP folks) ... (i myself have been their on a holiday years ago) and i truely don't think people realise how romantic & pretty it is there to consider a honeymoon there :dance:
I remember my ex-DF & i got a package deal through the travel agent & we flew there from Melb, drove a hired car entirely around Tassie in 6 days, staying a different place each night (except 2 nights in Hobart) ... and how romantic is Cradle Mountain (so worth the extra$$ for the cabin & fire). Nearly every lunch & dinner we had at beautiful old English looking tudor pubs sitting near the open fire with such yummy home cooked like meals (we went in May so was cold but not freezing ... sunshine each day) :D
We went to Long Island in the Whitsundays, was gorgeous, beach out our front door & rainforest out the back door.
janie we loved albany!!!!!! DH loves WA, want to move there :rolleyes: not going to happen!!
we went up the NSW coast, didnt have much mpney left over after paying for a wedding and buying a house! we plan on going to NZ for our 10th anni. in 2.5 yrs time!
How good is it Jols???? We would BOTH love to move to WA, we talk about it, but the reality is it's just too far :( Not going to happen.
maybe you two can take my DH with you :lol: he told just the other night that i could have an eternity ring if we moved over ....riiiiiiigggggghhhht :lol:
but loved loved loved our holiday over there!! we will go again!
1 week on long island whitsundays gorgeous beach front room. Great food, quiet, lots of great day trips (whitehaven beach on raggamuffin, reefworld, parasailing)
then 1 week on Gold coast, 1st week was so much better!!!!!!!!!!!
We went to Singapore for 2 days, Langkawi for 7 days, Sabah for 5 days and Hong Kong for 2 days. Loved it! Langkawi is just gorgeous.
(my DH works for an airline so flights weren't expensive and we got to move around more. Also got business class seats on the long flights! just heaven)
We did pretty much the same thing! Although we flew over and hired a car. I just organised accommodation (I based half our honeymoon in Launceston and the other half in Hobart)and we drove where we wanted, when we wanted and did what we wanted. I loved it!!! I cant wait to go back again one day!:
We had 8 days in Samoa (Sinalei Resort for 5 nights & Tanu Beach Fales for 2 nights) and 4 days in Fiji (Matamanoa Island) on the way home. Was lovely and relaxing, especially Samoa - it's not too commercial there at all.
We actually went down and did a tour of South West WA (live in Perth). Stayed in such a lovely chalet just outside of Pemberton, went round all the Wineries around Pemberton and then Margaret River. It was the best time ever, the chalet was so quiet with a lovely outdoor spa. We now try to go down and stay there once a year - just the best.
