California Honeymoon,

An important part of planning a wedding is choosing the perfect honeymoon destination; the reward for making it through the whole thing unscathed! We’ve all heard wedding horror stories that we wouldn’t wish on any of our high school rivals (or would we?!). After all that, a newlywed couple deserves to spend a romantic honeymoon together at a dream destination. Warm tropical beaches come to mind, with a soft breeze coming in off the ocean, lazy afternoons overlooking the ocean from a private balcony, and a funny little umbrella drink in one hand and a champagne flute in the other. The entire focus of the perfect honeymoon should be on the celebration of commitment to each other, and taking the time to enjoy life from a new perspective, one that’s not clouded by work, family, and daily responsibilities. So let’s move on to planning a dream honeymoon, one that you’ll never forget!

There are many top honeymoon destinations to choose from in the United States and around the world, but let’s focus on just one at this time, a California honeymoon. Was this a location you were already considering, if not, definitely take a closer look. California has a lot to offer with its sparkling beaches, high mountain tops, desert canyons, national parks, grand hotels and resorts, and award winning wineries.

Best Honeymoon Locations

People are always asking me which are the best honeymoon locations as if I could narrow it down to a list of the top 10. just because I'm a travel agent, everyone assumes that I will know what fits their taste the best. The fact is that there are romantic destinations all over the world. Almost every country on earth has some of the best honeymoon vacation spots somewhere. It is simply a matter of taste.

For example, if you are a fan of luxury, the best honeymoon locations are the ones with the best hotels. There are bed and breakfasts, five-star hotel packages, cruise ships – the list goes on and on. Some people even think that the best honeymoon location is a luxury spa. A lot of the time, when my clients are looking for luxury, I simply recommend a hot spring. Many of these places will pamper you and spoil your rotten. They will provide massages, free gourmet meals each day, and the opportunity to sit around and soak up the mineral water for hours and hours. Some of them even have classes in yoga on the premises.

Of course, the best honeymoon locations for the adventurous sort are quite different. Do you wants to climb a mountain? Do you want to sail on the ocean? If you plan it out right, you might even be able to take a trip to the Arctic. I don't understand this mindset, but I certainly do cater to it. For the adventurous, athletic, young couple, the best honeymoon locations are places far outside the comforts of the modern world. More and more people take their honeymoons in places where survival is by no means certain. I guess it just goes to show you, different people have different tastes.

By far the most common choices for the best honeymoon locations are the romantic cities of the world. People want to take their honeymoons in Paris, in Rome, or on the Spanish Riviera. These cities are all among the best honeymoon destinations. They offer everything. They have luxury accommodations, great sightseeing, the opportunity to experience a foreign culture, and a touch of adventure. I think all around, they are the best honeymoon locations that there are. Most people do not get to take trips around the world very often, so when they do do they want to do it right. Traveling around Europe is just the thing to start a marriage off on the right foot.
