Tropical Honeymoon Ideas

In the 1950 movie Father of the Bride, Kay nearly cancels the wedding when groom-to-be Buckley suggests a fishing honeymoon. Kay would be surprised to find herself in the new millennium, when anything goes as far as honeymoon themes--and the bride is as adventurous as her new groom. Be creative in picking your honeymoon theme. Here are some of today's most popular couple getaways-for-two.

Be a Kid Again
Theme parks and local attractions have begun to trump the traditional hotel-stay honeymoons of the past. More and more couples are flocking to parks such as Disney (Florida or California), Six Flags (in various states within the U.S.) and Hershey Park (Pennsylvania) to blow off steam after tying the knot. Most of these parks do have hotels and amenities close by; some have them directly within the locale of the park. Check vacation packages, such as multiple day tickets or ticket, hotel stay and car rental combinations.

Go Wild
If you love "roughing it," go for a horseback riding, hiking or camping vacation. Many camp sites offer safe and picturesque cabins with romance in mind. Some even have all the comforts of home, including a kitchen or nearby restaurants and theatres. Check locally, or look into an area you've always wanted to explore. Find out what attractions are available on-site or nearby, such as horseback riding lessons, canoing/kyacking, and local festivals.

Transportation With a View
Make travel part of the honeymoon adventure; take the train to your destination. Choose the most scenic route you can find. If your trip will be on the long side and will include an overnight ride, be sure you choose a comfortable compartment and a trip that includes meals and snacks.

A Week of Pampering
Of course, many couples still prefer a week of complete relaxation. Check out the wealth of possibilities for a truly pampering honeymoon. You and your beloved can visit a day spa, relax in a jacuzzi overlooking mountains or the ocean or spend a few days taking yoga or Reikki lessons. Pampering-style honeymoon packages are available through chain vacation destinations or individually; check with your travel agent.

Honeymoon in Paradise
Similar to the pampering honeymoon is a vacation in paradise. Again, try your travel agent. You can reach the island of your choice more inexpensively than ever. Be sure to find out about passport and other requirements when leaving the continental U.S.

Alaskan Dreams
Alaska is big, beautiful and more popular than ever. Consider an Alaskan cruise or, if you're the cold-weather type, book a vacation within the state itself. Alaska is a dream vacation for couples of all ages and makes the ideal honeymoon theme for those who want to try something a little different.

Explore all your options; there's literally a world of honeymoon theme possibilities ready and waiting for you.
