For
the majority of honeymoon couples the three main concerns are, THE
BED, THE BEACH and THE BAR and if they are yours we can certainly
help. We can also help if your ideal honeymoon means trekking on
foot through the jungles of Costa Rica, or sampling the fine wines
of Tuscany as you tour through in your BMW, or perhaps it's
charting your first course together as you sail through the
British Virgin Islands. Just read on!
OK
YOU GET THE IDEA-THE FIRST STEP IS TO TALK TO YOUR HONEY AND
DECIDE ON WHAT YOUR DREAM HONEYMOON MEANS TO THE BOTH
OF YOU...
AND
THEN LET US HELP YOU MAKE THE DREAM COME TRUE.
does
bed size matter?
Well
if it matters to you and your goal is to spend your honeymoon in
the biggest bed in Europe we know where, The
Presidential Suite at the Hotel Royal Monceau in Paris, it's
over 21 square foot. But at $2800 per night perhaps the only ones
that can afford it are stars like STING, Britney Spears and Ricky
Martin- all recent guest.
But
if your budgets not that of a rock star and you just want the
biggest best bed, on the best beach, near the best bar, for the
best price- here are my picks. Plus they all do a great job of
treating you famously even if you're not!

HAWAII
Hawaii
has always been a popular honeymoon destination and now with
non-stop flights and more availability It is actually doable in a
week and also affordable. The hardest decision about going to
Hawaii is which island to go to. After all, paradise comes in
different packaging, and deciding between Maui, the Big Island,
Oahu and Kaui can be pretty perplexing. This is where we use our
research to match you with the island that most meets your needs.
Each island has it's own personality, just like you. There are
very few All Inclusive resorts in Hawaii, but most packages do
include a car, and the islands are the perfect place to splurge on
that convertible or jeep you've always wanted to drive. All of the
major hotel chains are represented in the islands, Hyatt, Hilton,
Sheraton, etc. and usually have special promotions like Hyatt's 5lh
Night Free. Often suites with kitchen facilities can be obtained
which means you do not have to eat every meal out. Food can be
expensive is Hawaii. Prices vary according to island and
accommodations. We have found properties on the low end starting
at $2660 for two with airfare and car and on the higher end $5290
for two with airfare, car for 7 night accommodations. Of course,
if you want to do all 4 islands we can arrange that to. So, if
your honeymoon dream is Hawaii we can help make the dream come
true.

BRITISH/US
VIRGIN ISLANDS
If
you want to feel like you've gone halfway around the world while
only going hours away you will not be disappointed with the
British/Us Virgin Islands. This group of islands has always been a
favorite destination of our family. We have sailed boats that we
have chartered and provisioned and we have stayed at various
luxury resorts. Every experience was memorable! Most vacations do
not begin until you reach the hotel, but in the British/Us Virgin
Islands it's different. I think it has something to do with the
ferries-the usual mode of transportation between the islands.
After landing on either St. Thomas or on Beef Island even the most
wired dude succumbs to Island Time! It rolls over you like a wave
and stays with you long after your return home. Swimmers,
snorkelers, sunbathers and divers revel in the stunning locale,
but most of all you see the sailors, who come from all over the
world to cruise the protected waters. If you want to sail we can
arrange trips for the novice and the experienced.
