Honeymoon

The honeymoon is the  beginning of your new life as husband and wife. In these first few days, weeks and months of marriage you begin your new life as a family. Where you start this new adventure depends on your likes, dislikes, dreams, budget and time constraints.

For the couple short on time (and maybe cash, too), the destination may be close to  home. That doesn’t mean there are not plenty of choices and plenty of fun to be had. Living in the Southern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois  area has its advantages. Cities like Madison and Milwaukee offer a variety of beautiful hotels and inns along with fabulous dining and entertainment experiences throughout the year. The great city of Chicago is within a short drive and offers everything a couple could desire from sports to theatre, dining to shopping and more. The Lake Geneva, Wisconsin area is host to some of the finest resorts and spas in the Midwest; celebrities from around the country find solace in some of these luxurious resorts. Heading north, Door County, Wisconsin has a charming array of bed & breakfast inns. The beautiful shores of Lake Michigan make this a romantic and peaceful honeymoon getaway. For those with a sense of adventure and a love of nature, the Northwoods offers breathtaking surroundings perfect for hiking, rafting or snuggling away in a secluded wooded setting.

If you want to travel beyond this “neck of the woods,” a professional travel agent is  indispensable. Whether you know the exact location of the honeymoon destination or just want to head somewhere warm, travel agents can help make sure the honeymoon plans are a dream vacation come true. These experts can help you decide what the perfect destination may be and handle every little detail so you can relax and enjoy being together!

Travel agents tell us some favorite honeymoon spots include sunny Jamaica, heavenly Hawaii, festive Mexico or even faraway adventures to Europe or Australia. Within the continental United States couples enjoy the magic of Disney and the romance of the Poconos, or trips out west to San Diego, Yellowstone
National Park, the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. Wherever you choose, there are many details to plan. The travel agent has the knowledge and experience to make those plans. Many travel agents travel to a variety of locations themselves and know which hotels to recommend and sites to see.

The travel agent is able to help plan flight itineraries, find the lowest prices, and put together packages that include hotel, air and car rentals. One thing all travel agents stress is making reservations as far in advance as possible, especially if a certain destination is in mind. The best rates and best chances for availability sometimes come months in advance.

One of the most prominent factors a couple considers when planning a honeymoon is the budget. Many couples now choose all-inclusive packages so they know in advance exactly what they will be spending. All-inclusive resorts include all your meals and entertainment, which might be quite costly if you were paying separately. If this interests you, discuss the details with your travel agent to find out exactly what is included and what is not. Paying for everything in advance can give you peace of mind, so that once you arrive you can relax and do what you want without worrying about the cost.

With the unlimited options available for honeymoon plans, plan to take time for yourselves and enjoy the start of your new life together.
