Two Location Honeymoon - how??

Hi all,
Really sorry I'm sure this has come up before but I've had a search and couldn't find anything quite right.
For our honeymoon next April I really want to do 5 days in Florida then 5 days on a beach, maybe Hawaii or even the Caribbean.
Does anyone have any experience of booking something like this? I've used Trailfinders before but are there any others?
I really don't want to be ripped off but also with it being our honeymoon I don't think I want the stress of trying to do it all separately myself.
Thanks in advance

Most good long haul tour operators will be able to arrange a twin centre like this for you.
Are you aware that Florida has beaches?
I think that going all the way to Hawaii from Florida just to sit on a beach for five days would be absolute madness but I appreciate we all have different opinions.0 -

Yes I am, it's just because we fancy seeing a couple of different places. We don't travel much so sort of wanted to tick a couple of places off in one go.
But obviously if it's insanely expensive we won't!Officially Mrs B as of March 2013

Florida to Hawaii would be one hell of a flight (it's on the other coast) about the same as flying from the UK to Florida so unless your crazy about 2 longhaul flights in 10 days :eek: it would be better to do California to Hawaii.
Florida is huge if you have only 2 weeks have you considered something like a roadtrip from somewhere like Orlando to the keys
Virgin holidays do a florida multi stay maybe worth doing some dummy bookings and seeing what prices come up0 -
We used Trailfinders for our multi centre holiday honeymoon.
They were great, everything worked out really well, & in 3 of the 4 locations we were given some form of upgrade (sea view, upgraded to a detached villa in the hotel grounds, upgrade to a suite with a view).
Maybe we were just lucky with the Trailfinders rep, but the impression I had was that she had genuine first hand knowledge of the hotels she recommended, & that she was in direct regular contact with them (hence the upgrades).
I should add, we have also had absolutely exceptional service from other companies (Geoddessey) & not such good service from some others, but generally, on our experience, Trailfinders would be up there as one of the good guys0 -
Find an airline that will be heading to Hawaii and offers a free US stopover en route.
Or book it all independently.0 -
Florida to Hawaii for 5 days is just too far imoh , we did San fran to Hawaii for 5 days and tbh that was too far , Florida to Carribean is more doable , less time difference tooVuja De - the feeling you'll be here later0

How about picking a cruise up from Florida?
We did this for our honeymoon (booked through Virgin) & loved it.
Not sure about the 5 days part - I think our cruise was a week.0 -
Kuoni are great for this kind of stuff.
No connection, but have used them a number of timesWarning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac

Hawaii is insanely expensive , can you have longer then 10 days? , travelling is going to eat into your time quite a bitVuja De - the feeling you'll be here later0 -
Think about what you want to do in florida?
It's not that great a destination much better places in America.
You could base yourself on the gulf coast at a beach resort/hotel and still do day trips to the theme parks.
Hawaii is in the middle of the pacific way to far.
A nice caribbean cruise will tick of a few places if you don't travel much look for ones that include mexico.
or panama canal do a couple of days in LA 2week cruise and a couple of days in florida.
WHATS THE BUDGET
Watch out for spring break pick you places carefully.0
