Help with planning a Honeymoon

Anyone have any tips on the cheapest way of flying to Fiji? There are some great deals at some amazing resorts. But it costs like $1700 or more to fly to Fiji.

Take a boat?!

I was told Fiji and Bora Bora and Moorea were EXTREMELY expensive once you get there. They really have some great deals but was told that was just kinda the tip of the iceberg.

June 15th-22. Departing the 15th, returning the 22nd. Most likely flying out of Atl or Nashville. There is a possibility of flying out of Jax or Orlando as well.

That could be true, but the resorts I found were all-inclusive, including transfers. So I don't think I'd have to worry too much about expenses once I got there.
 
Ill also add that it's a decent idea to book and use a rewards credit card and one with intl spending without fees. You pay it off when you get back , or whenever.

Capital one and Amex have excellent rewards and intl travel perks.
 
Honeymoon booked!

Going to Secrets Wild Orchid in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Thanks everyone for your help. We ended up booking through my parents time share company by using some of their points to help pay for the room. Found some pretty decent flights for about $500 round trip.

Now that the tough part is out of the way, has anyone been to Jamaica? Any suggestions on what to do/see while we are there?

This is a good way to get Hepatitis A, especially given the parts of the world you've been to. Carp is probably fine at a resort in Jamaica, though.

I actually got Hepatitis A in Peru.. this was when I didn't know anything about medicine and didn't want to bother with getting my shots. Also, I had to bribe a border agent in Bolivia to get in without my yellow fever vaccination, but there you are okay as long as you aren't going into the jungle.

(also, congrats Carp.)

Ive been to montego Bay. Jamaica is the only place ive been actually scared traveling. Long story but i thought we got kidnapped.

Jamaica isnt really a place you want to spend much time off the resort. Ive been to many caribbean islands and Mexico, Jamaica is by far the one i was most careful at.

The resort will likely have a lot of fun stuff going on. Just centure off if u see an excursion to like.
 
Congrats, Carp. Now that the planning is out of the way, you can finally focus on the more important aspects of the honeymoon experience. :Bunchie1:

Montego Bay is beautiful. I've been to Jamaica several times and never felt unsafe, but like gilesfan said, you'll feel most comfortable within the friendly confines of your resort.

Subsisting entirely off of Jerk Chicken and Rum is possible.

If you golf I would recommend Cinnamon Hill, although there are plenty of other courses in the area.

Congrats.

I got married in Jamaica, best week of my life. I want to go back, but parents told us to wait until the kids are older before they watch them.

I sure do miss the jerk chicken, goat and fish. Some good eating down there and drinks....oh my, I miss the various concoctions you can have for free. The only unsafe thing I can think of is their driving. Scary ordeal.
 
So far, haven't ventured too far off the resort. Free WiFi in the room is nice. The beach is nice, if a bit rocky. Weather has been great here all week. Has rained everyday but 1, but never more than an hr and the sun is back out again soon after.

Food hasn't been quite up to par so far. Nothing terrible, but nothing amazing. Best meal we had so far has been from Margaritaville with some fresh fish.

Will post more later. Going shopping now

Dude. don't post here til you get back. Seriously, you won't go on another honeymoon anytime soon, so do it up right.
 
Eh, only check my phone when she is getting ready to go out. It's either this or watch the TV for an hr. Then again, there is free porn in our room. Like 4 channels. Soooo yeah....
