    I like the idea of a planned mini-moon just after the wedding, but then go into a travel agent after the wedding and go 'we have £x and want to travel on these dates, where can we go!!'

    H2B was planning a surprise honeymoon for us to Australia, but as we have had to put the wedding back a year we've decided to still go on our honeymoon. Lol. So my honeymoon is 8 months BEFORE our wedding, ah well :D

  • Thanks for all the ideas guys! Going to get myself on tripadvisor and browse some of the destinations mentioned and look at resorts.

    You would be surprised i went to the Dominican Republic last year in August and not a single drop of rain untill the last day but in jan feb march time when i have also been i have had 4 days of non stop rain every single visit

    Turkey is fab - have you considered a Gullet Cruise in turkey or Greece or one week on a boat and then a week in a hotel

    the gullets are are amazing ( just ask for a cabin with a double bed though or you will have to singles ) i went with http://www.bluecruise.org/ and they were brilliant there was only around 12 people on the boat plus the crew and it was amazing and the food was to die for
    you can do 3/4 day or 7/14 days and you dont go out that far to see so even though i suffer from seasickness it was fine

    or even a cruise around the med /canaries

    I'd choose cyprus,you always have the option of going to Egypt while you're there for a day or two

    We're going to turkey. Found a 5* all inc for £1400 for two weeks for both of us, it's got it's own beach and 3 pools and 3 restaurants and it's own spa and watersports. You get alot for your money there and the rest of the budget can go on fun stuff.

    Im going to turkey in the May half term we got 11 nights for 5 adults 1 child and a infant for 2400 its 5 star all inclusive but it the hotel Kremlin Palace very good reviews but i guess lots of russians judging by the name
    Originally we were all going to go to the dominican republic punta cana but my son has an exam as he is leaving school this year so had to book a shorter time


    The Letoonia hotel and resort is a fabulous resort in fethyie but i would stay in the hotel at this resort as the bugolows rooms arent that nice clean but old fashioned

    Italy although expensive is very romantic i think for weddings /honeymoons

    We're having a mini-moon in Rome for 5 days after the wedding then will do something 'proper' when I've got a rotation where I can take more than one week off at a time!

    I'd love to see Morocco or do an african safari...
