In a recent interview I was asked my advice on planning a honeymoon.  You can read the article at http://www.philly.com/philly/living/celebrations/weddings/Bon_voyage.html but for those wanting a few highlights, here you go –

• The weak economy has not changed the kind of honeymoon most couples are planning.  Weddings are once in a lifetime events and a honeymoon is a once in a lifetime experience.
• Forget the 1st class flight!  Nobody takes pictures of their airline seat and you won’t be talking about your flight 10 years from now.  So unless your budget is generous, spend it on more time together and create lasting memories by doing something memorable whether that’s swimming with the dolphins, being pampered with an oceanfront couples massage or learning to scuba dive.
• A local getaway is not always less expensive than somewhere more exotic.  There are quality all inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean with rates starting around $200 night and that’s hard to beat in the U.S..  The strengthening dollar has also provided values for otherwise expensive destinations. If you’ve wanted to plan a Fiji vacation, now is the time.
• Honeymoon registries are a great way to finance a dream honeymoon.
