Honeymoon in ParadiseFollow

#1 Jul 06 2006 at 8:03 AM Rating: Good
Well we are planning our Honeymoon and I am looking for some input on a nice place. Disregard actually that its a Honeymoon, to me there is no difference between a Honeymoon and a normal vacation.

Vacation in Paradise

We have been to Belize, stayed on an island and did plenty of Eco tour stuff, zip-lining, cave tubing, hikes, snorkling, etc. We stayed in Curacao and did the hokey resort thing. We are looking for a nice inbetween. A hotel/resort that offers pools and bars and pool bars and bars. Prestine grounds, beautiful flowers, sand, etc. Also we want a place that gives quick access to rainforests and adventerous stuff. Surrounded by interesting wildlife sans bugs, I hate big bugs. We are looking at a Costa Rican wildlife preserve place but it seems kinda run down and infested with bugs.

I know to expect bugs in tropical places but a nice seperation bewteen modern amenities and pure unaltered nature I guess is what I want. Anybody have any suggestions?

Have you checked out Tahiti? Hell of a long way and expensive, but damn if it isnt beautiful. Hubby and I were checking out the little cottages you can rent right over the ocean info and better pic. Wake up, roll out of bed, and jump right in the water

Tahiti and Figi were on the top of our list but 22 or so hours on a plane is really too much.

but good lord does that look nice Smiley: eek

When are they going to invent teleporters?

How about something slightly different...

Costa Rica or Brazil. They're not islands, and they have amazing sights.

Sail boats work better for the whole pirate thing though.

Another plug for Costa Rica. Of all the Latin American countries, they're the most stable, the cleanest, and the least likely to steal your wallet. They also have lovely wildlife preserves and beaches. As for someplace that is eco-tourism friendly AND bug-free, good luck!

but with a cruise ship, you can use the life boats as a naval fleet!! and the wave runners for flanking positions! I got it all worked out!

Yep! But it wouldn't really matter - you can go out and swim around in the pool heated by the volcano, swim right up to the bar. The volcano is the whole event, really.

Well, and the ceviche. And the cuba libres in the hot swimming pool.

If you're going to Costa Rica, take care that you don't crash on that island with all the dinosaurs.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I just can't like you anymore.

You haven't ever rented a private island have you? Because that would be more than I can take right now, hahaha.

Bzzzzzzzzzzt!

Wrong answer, doofus. A honeymoon is supposed to be one where you rarely get outside of the hotel room because you're too busy making the monster with two backs, not sightseeing (unless it's discovering new erogenous zones on your new spouse's body). If that quote is where you are already in your relationship, I give you three years before she dumps you, max. I call May 2009 as the date the divorce is finalized.

What'dya give her for a wedding gift, Romeo? A cordless power drill?

That will be taken into account, but doing it in a bed can get stale. Pokin her in a hot spring while a Volcano erupts and the earth shakes...thats more like it.

A Honeymoon, to me, is not just exploring eachothers body but taking part in activities that we both really enjoy. Thats why I am looking for such a particular place.
