Ladies and Gents: I need your help, please!
We're getting married late next July and want to take a honeymoon right after our wedding. We live in the Northeast US and aren't huge beach people (but could maybe do beaches if they're not very crowded and there are other landscapes to visit, too). Where would you recommend going in that season? What wouldn't be too hot and would (in your opinion) make a good honeymoon? We'd like somewhere calm but also somewhere that my FI can wander around and take pictures and see things (birds or ferns or historic something - see anything, really!).
Places we've thought of:
Iceland - cheap to get to, expensive to be in, but everyone keeps telling us only retired folks go to Iceland
Alaska - expensive to get to, cheaper to be in, would be gorgeous, but apparently it's black fly season?
Yeah, not many. FI wants to go to Turkey or Sicily, but the weather in July/August would be awful.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
