Today is
Sunday and Nicole comes home from her honeymoon. It has been two weeks
since she got married and left for France; it has gone by so fast!
I got to
thinking about honeymoons the other day and I thought doing a blog post might
be a fun idea, so I did and now I have a list of places that I want to go!
Below I compiled a small list and some links of place that you can consider
visiting if you’re planning a honeymoon or just want a fun and romantic
getaway.
Samantha’s Top 10 Honeymoon Spots
1. I may be a bit impartial here,
but many of the honeymoon lists I have seen have listed British Columbia, especially here on Vancouver Island as a top spot
to honeymoon. It is easy to get to and if you love nature and good weather,
this is the place for you. You can go skiing in Whistler, watch the waves in
Tofino, or enjoy romantic walks on the beaches. It’s easy to go back and forth
to the mainland with the ferry so you can see lots of sights.
2. Ok, so this is something that I
have always wanted to do and it would be an awesome honeymoon. I’ve always
wanted to go on an African Safari and I don’t think I would go on one at any
other point in my life. It’s romantic and exciting and reminds me of an old
movie. Serengeti National Park in
Tanzania seems to be a top spot. You can wake up looking at animals and go
out for a drive on the plains.
3. A very romantic spot to head to
on your honeymoon is where Nicole went, France.
Everyone always thinks about Paris when they think of romance and honeymoons.
Lately it has been a place that people may be a bit hesitant to visit with all
of the horrible things taking place there. I know Nicole went to the
countryside so her and her new husband could spend some quality couple time
together which I think is a good idea. You can avoid the big city and escape to
the country for a bit to just be together; you will want to make sure and rent
a car and look for some nice places that you can rent ahead of time. Being out
in the country, you can take romantic walks and go for picnics.
4. A top romantic spot that I want
to visit is Italy. I was reading about this place called San Pelligrino Treme.
It’s a quiet quaint town where there are some beautiful spas and the best
mineral water. If you want to see more of the sights and culture, try Venice
and have a romantic gondola ride.
5. I have always heard about Bora
Bora, but looking at some of the pictures makes me want to go there right now.
The water looks so clear and it seems like the perfect place to go and relax. I
like the idea of sightseeing, but on a honeymoon, it may just be nice to go and
lay on the beach and sip cool drinks and go for dips in the ocean. This is the
place to do that!
6. There are so many movies that
show how beautiful and romantic Ireland is and I have always wanted to go
there. Unfortunately when I went to England, I didn’t have enough time to head
over to Ireland but I would want to go with that someone special for a
honeymoon. You could go see so many sights and go on a mini road trip through
the country and look at and stay in castles! Awesome.
7. The Bahamas has a beach with pink sand! You
can walk for hours with your sweetie on the beach and have open air lunches at one
of the restaurant along the beach. If you want to venture through town there
are lots of souvenirs shops that you can stop at.
8. Ever since I saw Mamma Mia, I
wanted to go to Greece. Santorini is a popular volcanic island to stay on.
Apparently the sunsets are amazing and you can relax on the many beaches and
explore the ancient sights. There is so much that you can do but you can do it
at your own pace. There are many villas that you can stay in so you can have
quality time with your new spouse.
9. Hawaii was the spot to vacation
and honeymoon back in the day (that’s where my parents went) but over the years
there have been so many other beach/tropical spots that have become popular
that it seems like Hawaii isn’t the top romantic beach spot anymore. I have
always wanted to go to Hawaii and still do. The beaches look amazing and there
are lots of sights that you can see. You can jump from island to island
depending what kinds of mood you are in. If you want to shop and be among the
tourists you can do that on one island, if you want to explore away from people
you can do that on another island. There are so many options and you don’t have
to travel too far away to get there either! You can go to a luau and eat fresh
pineapple and go for a hula lesson and have Kona coffee and see volcanos, the
list goes on and on.
10. Kyoto Japan is supposed to be
slow paced and peaceful. It would be a nice place to go for stroll and to look
at the gardens and all the beautiful landscapes and shrines. Go at a time when
the cherry blossom trees are in bloom and take advantage of the the romantic
quiet river boat rides too.
So there you
have some of my top honeymoon spots. I’m sure there are so many other places
that you can go and visit with your sweetie but the main things is that you are
spending quality quiet time together before reality hits and you start your
lives together for real. Your ideal romantic honeymoon spot will be different I’m
sure from other couples, so go to a place that you are passionate about seeing
and that has special meaning to you.
