Do your Honeymoon as a Cheap Travel
You are getting married and planning your honeymoon. Sure, what could be better than a private jet to Monte Carlo for the honeymoon? Perhaps you are thinking of Nepal. There’s just one catch. What if you cannot afford it? Alternatively, what if you can afford an extravagant honeymoon but feel that you would rather save the money and put it to better use later? Your honeymoon does not have to be expensive to be memorable. Read on for some cheap yet fun honeymoon ideas.
Stay closer to home. Exotic foreign destinations seem to always end up on the top of the honeymoon go to lists. But why is this so? There are many great honeymoon destinations closer to home that just happen to cost a lot less to visit. They are closer and have fewer issues with government formalities too, so you have less travel time and more time at your destination.
Consider making a change from the stereotypical five-star hotel suite. Half the time, elegant (and expensive) as they are, they are somewhat sterile in their ambiance. Why not go for a bed and breakfast, or a cottage? America has many thousands of quaint little out of the way places that are private, romantic and intimate. Most of them are far less expensive than the large suite in the big name (and big dollar) hotel.
If you two are the outdoors type, consider camping on your honeymoon. Campgrounds today are as rustic, or as sophisticated, as you want them to be.
Look to cruise packages. There is a temporary glut of cruise ship rooms available and prices have never been, and many in the industry say never will again be, cheaper. Fortunately for you, your honeymoon is timed for big cruise ship savings. The variety of exotic destinations is endless.
You might want to consider a cross-country train trip. Contact Amtrak for many suggestions. These are mostly timed so that the most scenic portions are traversed in daylight. What could be more romantic than the chatter of train wheels over the rails?
There is a new idea floating around called the honeymoon registry. Just as you might be registered at one of more retailers for the convenience of your wedding guests when selecting your gifts, you can also register with a honeymoon registry. Here your honeymoon is roughly described and your guests can buy something for you that may be relevant to your honeymoon. A tent for a camping honeymoon or special dinners for two at your destination are just a few of the examples.
These are just a few suggestions for making your honeymoon both memorable and cheap. Use a little imagination and you will come up with many other alternatives that don’t have to cost you much but still offer a great honeymoon experience. A quick internet search for “inexpensive USA honeymoons” will return millions of hits. There is no shortage of ideas to make your honeymoon a lasting memory. Don’t forget your camera.
