It''s a little premature, but I''m trying to get an idea because fiance''s parents have offered to pay.
We''re getting married late September 2008. We''ll probably only have a few days - Wedding is on Saturday and we will most likely have to be back at work the following Saturday. So we''re looking at Mon-Friday, basically.
We''re not particularly seasoned travelers, though I''ve been to Europe a handful of times and fiance regularly goes to Asia with his parents. We''re looking for someplace that''s really easy. Easy to get to, easy to get around, easy to book. Preferably English-speaking. And relatively affordable cause I don''t want to ask fiance''s parents to pay for an exorbitant honeymoon.
Weather, not all that important. We''re not really beachy people anyway. Food = very important. If I could sleep in a comfy bed and eat gorgeous incredible food everyday with perfectly paired wine every day...well, I think that would be enough entertainment for me.
We don''t want to spend a lot of time traveling and our wedding is in RI. I''ve tentatively thought of Martha''s Vineyard or Nantucket. Short travel time, relatively affordable (?), and maybe less crowded by September than in the summer. I would imagine there are some nice restaurants and hotels/B&Bs there, but I''ve never been there (shame on me!), so I don''t really know.
I would love to go to Hawaii, but it seems like it may be too long of a trip for just a few days. Plus add in the time changes, and I think we''d just adjust by the time it was time to come home. I''ve also thought of someplace in Ireland/England/Scotland or California, but I don''t really know if there''s a particular area we should be looking at. We definitely wouldn''t be up for any left-sided driving in the UK, so I think that would limit our options.
Anyway, that was long-winded! Any specific suggestions of resorts or destinations would be more than welcome!
