Plan Your Dream Honeymoon:Travel Tips from an Expert

Looking for tips and ideas while planning your honeymoon? Destination I Do Magazine turned to the help of an expert for some advice. EverAfterHoneymoons.com's expert Katie took her love of traveling and turned it into a job – honeymoons!  Katie provides tips on how to create your dream honeymoon and peruse featured destinations. As a travel expert and honeymoon-planning aficionado, Katie has written some must-do’s when planning your honeymoon. Here are some basic tips she gives to any couple in the planning stages:

1. If you're looking to relax on a beautiful beach for your honeymoon, don't fly too far from home! Find the nearest coastline, this way you can spend more of your budget on a great hotel, spa and fun activities rather than on your flights. An added bonus is more time honeymooning, less time traveling!

2. If there is any activity you want to do during your honeymoon then make sure schedule it ahead of time. A safari, bus tour, spa package, zip lining, wine tasting or snorkeling... whatever you imagine you and your sweetie doing definitely look into it ahead of time.

3. The number one thing she reports hearing from couples is how thankful they were to have their first day or two of the honeymoon to recuperate. After all the wedding day stress, traveling and time changes don't try to load the first day full of activities. Take a day or two to relax, sleep, and unwind.

Oaxaca, Mexico - Most Exotic Honeymoon Spot

In a list of the 50 best honeymoon spots for 2011, The Knot named Oaxaca as one of the top 10 most exotic honeymoon locations. Known for its strong culture and archeological sites, it's no wonder this area tops the list.















Reasons to go: This colonial town is lauded for staying true to its roots; come for outstanding regional cuisine (chocolate, mezcal and mole, oh my!), authentic crafts and ruins. 

Where to Stay: The Knot suggests Camino Real Oaxaca, a former convent turned grand hotel. 

What to Do: Learn about local cuisine with chef and culinary author Susana Trilling. Visit the market; then cook a feast at Trilling's Seasons of My Heart Cooking School.
