Honeymoon Mistakes To Avoid:
Scheduling too many activities
With all the excitement you'll be going through in the weeks leading up to your Big Day, you may not realize just how exhausting it can all be, but it will certainly hit you a day or so after the wedding. Be sure to leave yourselves enough “relaxation” time, for at least the first few days of your honeymoon. Spend a day getting pampered at the spa, or lounging beachside or poolside - there will still be plenty of time to go snorkeling/parasailing/sightseeing or whatever interests you. After all, you’ll have many more trips with your new spouse, but only one honeymoon, so relax and enjoy it!

Travel Tips:
Surviving the "red-eye"
Many people who face a long flight (eight or more hours) opt to take an overnight flight commonly called a "red-eye" that arrives in the morning hours at their destination. The theory is that, by sleeping enroute, you can avoid the jet-lag and bleary-vision that gave rise to the flight's nickname. While it's a great idea, it can be difficult for some travellers, so here are a few tips to make an overnight flight easier to manage:
  • Avoid alcohol - it will just interfere with your ability to sleep, and because it's a diuretic, will mean more frequent trips to the bathroom;
  • Sleep is the key, so unless you can easily fall asleep anywhere, take an over-the-counter sleep aid or antihistamine to help make you drowzy;
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing - sweatsuits are great and will help you stay warm in the sometimes-cool airplane cabins;
  • Book a window seat (so you have something to lean on) and grab a pillow and blanket (or two) as soon as you board;
  • Sometimes you'll be able to stretch out in a row, but stow an inflatable neck pillow in your carryon in case the flight is too full for you to have a row to yourself;
  • The pilot will generally dim the cabin lights, but those eye-masks also work wonders for helping you relax and fall asleep faster.
  • Lastly, stash a couple of moist-wipes in your carryon - there's nothing like a clean face to help you feel more refreshed when you arrive at your destination!

    Dear Honey,
    We only have 4 days for our Honeymoon, and a small budget, but want to go somewhere nice - with a beach and maybe a spa. Where can we go that is affordable and won't take all day flying to get there?

    Dear Merrilee,
    Your question comes at a great time, because this month we are featuring the Aventura Spa Palace Resort, in Cancun Mexico, in our newsletter. It's just a short flight from Texas, so you can make the most of what time you have, and it's an All-Inclusive, so you'll be able to relax without worrying about busting your budget. Local sightseeing tours are included in their package, and Cancun is world-famous for it's nightlife, bargain shopping opportunities, and it's warm, caribbean ocean, so you'll have a fun and relaxing four days!

    Best regards,
    Honey
