** Ask your travel agent for Honeymoon Packages, these usually offer the best destinations for honeymooners, not to mention discounts and freebies. ** Never, ever overbook day trips, you’re not just travelling, you’re with your new Spouse, better save up some energy for the night’s fireworks. ** Don’t be afraid to ask questions, ask about certain perks, events, free activities, etc. at your destination.
** In addition to the above, don’t be afraid to request extra things, like a big bathtub, a double bed, or a romantic view. ** Don’t forget to bring your marriage Certificate along with you, especially if the name of the bride is already under her husband’s name. ** Pack your camera and lots of film, you won’t want to miss anything. You might also want to pack a disposable underwater camera and extra batteries, these are absurdly pricey in tourist spots, and you don't want to overspend. ** Mention to anyone, especially in the café or in the tour boat, that you’re on your honeymoon, yes this may sound a bit embarrassing, but some restaurants give extras like free drinks or gifts for honeymooners. This also works for birthday celebrations.
** Stock up on sun protection. The higher the SPF the better, as you’ll probably be spending whole days out in the sun; you wouldn’t want to get sun burnt after just two weeks of marriage. ** Some travel agencies include island hopping trips, these are great ways to explore, and enjoy. This is especially good because you’ll get a change in scenery, and won’t easily get bored, especially if you have an extended honeymoon. ** Even if your valuables are inside your hotel room, keep them under lock, and if you decide to bring them with you, always watch out for stray pickpockets. ** Bring with you a stock of candles and massage oils that you can place inside your hotel room for that romantic evening after touring and swimming.
