To avoid AP problems....
can we have a U.S. honeymoon destination discussion/brainstorming session? Try to avoid the obvious Florida/Hawaii type place. I know it's probably been done here before but I'd like some new ideas.

Personally I think Virginia would be a good place to Honeymoon as it has so many interesting places to see, especially the Shandoah Valley the Blue Ridge Mountains and the al the American Civil War sights, the national parks are amazing plus the place is so breath taking and romantic. Sorry not brain storming but you would never be bored. Susanna |

Greer has some very cozy cabins nestled in the pine trees. It's quiet, fairly isolated, quaint, and romantic. It can be done in a 3-day weekend (which is all I might have off work by the time we get married! lol) I prefer that to the hustle-bustle of Disneyland or Vegas. Best Wishes! Rene |

VEgas is a very fun place! However, we ended up going to Puerto Rico. I don't know if that comes under what you describe as obvious places or not but we had a great time there, and there was no problems at all with leaving mainland USA and re-entering either as it is US territory. The beach part is great for relaxing together but there's also trips you can go on to, such as Old San Juan if you like historic stuff! Just another place for you to think about! :D Nicola Timeline TSC NOA1 January 15th 2003 NOA2 June 19th 2003 (Online Status) NOA2 Letter received June 23rd 2003 NVC Letter recieved July 2nd 2003 (dated 30th June) Packet 3 received July 10th 2003 Returned IV-15 July 21st 2003 (Delayed due to being in the USA when it arrived) Interview date received July 25th 2003 Interview date September 2nd 2003 Got the Visa!!!

Originally posted by soulsender Yeah I've heard the white mountains are great will definately take this in once we are settled...was looking also at the El Tovar/Zion/Bryce Canyon/ lodge experience. Have you been to any of the spas up your way like in sedona or flagstaff, Rene? There are some very nice, affordable resorts right here in Phoenix, too. Of course the Phoenician is way out of league except to go have a cup of coffee on the terrace - lol - but there are many in north Scottsdale that are nice for a weekend getaway and probably have nice honeymoon accommodations. Not sure if you're looking for a "getaway from it all" type of place, or someplace within city limits for sightseeing. I'll get back to you on the Oak Creen Canyon resort I have in mind. Rene |
Re: To avoid AP problems....
Bryce Canyon is suppose to be even more awesome than the Grand Canyon.
Honeymoons, in my opinion, are very special events. They should include activities and be in locations that are interest to both people. Why not make up a list of things and areas you both have thought of separately. Compare lists and then narrow it down to three places. From there use the internet to hunt out the specifics and/or visit with a good travel agent. What I think is a great place might not meet your specifications. Rete |

Here's the link to Terrace Resort in Oak Creek Canyon.

Re: To avoid AP problems....
hey, great topic :)
I actually was on a utah site this morning.. basically, I think we will both want a nice relaxing time.. my first choice was Hawaii, but there is soooo much to see and do, there would be no time to sit! Utah has always had a pull for me.. and its handy.. so probably investigate this more. I want some real special and memorable times over those days and I am sure no matter where we are we'll find that. I think after the whirlwind weekend of the wedding we may need to whole up in a cabin in the woods, light a few candles and just be. and then off to the spa! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee oh, and puerto rico looks nice too, I looked at that this am as well. decisions decisions.. now , if they would just send me the visa..... |
Re: To avoid AP problems....
MINNEAPOLIS.
Really. Well, if you're into theatre, it's a great place to come for a holiday! Lots to see, lots to do, and so close to here you can go dogsledding, do winter sports... My husband (sounds so weird to say that!) and I went to a B&B for our "honeymoon" - in the wilderness of Minnesota (!) great inn keepers, we had our own cabin (well, it was a fully furnished HOUSE, I swear!) with a wood fireplace, Great food, and we had a full kitchen so we could make ourselves dinner and such - we made fondues, raclette, and had a BLAST. http://www.woodlandtrails.net was the place we went to. I'd recommend it to ANYONE who wants to escape, see the wildlife, and enjoy some time away in the "winterscape". We went snowshoeing, saw the birds and the deer... it was GREAT. :) Elly |

Rete If you don't think this topic belongs here, move it. I think it's appropriate seeing as without AP most folks are limited (theres a paradox for you) to the U.S. for a honeymoon. I've seen some nice suggestions so far folks and appreciate it. |

all good ideas.. thanks posters.. milwaukee was on my list of places to visit some day, but not for a honeymoon.. have to try and get to minneapolis while we're at it..cheesy, but fun I imagine hadnt thought of arkansas.. we too met in Las Vegas and I am sure we will be back soon enough.. too much to do there.. and I am sure we will make the rounds in arizona.. they do have some of the top spa's in the world. even just one day.. ahhhhhhh |

Wouldn't that be funny to spontaneously see each other at one of the resorts?? :) There is also a natural hot springs in AZ near the border of NV, up by Hoover Dam. It's out in the boonies, you have to hike about 5 miles to get there, but it was well worth it. Just one little cozy natural "tub" in the rocks with hot steamy water - almost in the middle of the desert - very strange. By the way, clothing optional in that one!! Imagine my surprise in turning the corner to find naked guys in there! :eek: Needless to say, I wore my suit and stirred up a lot of the mud at the bottom to decrease visibility! LOL |

Re: To avoid AP problems....
We went to New Mexico and it's just plain fantastic, breath-taking, and fun! The food, the scenery, the national parks, the museums, the pottery... just WOW.
We were considering New Orleans too, but we might leave that for the family wedding and go somewhere else for the second hoenymoon. I know you're not interested, but I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, I'm a sucker for Pacific Isles from Oz and New Zealand to the Polynesia... What about Alaska though? Or a wineries tour on the California peninsula, including San Francisco... awww so many places to go, so little money and time! |
Re: To avoid AP problems....
new mexico sounds wonderful, so does colorado.. both on my list.. worth investigating..
and Hawaii is for our honeymoon as well, just a little delayed.. I think we will probably stick to something local for right after the wedding as most likely we will be flying to get there.. fly home.. then a few days relaxing.. a couple months later.. I hope.. hawaii... this is what we're thinking.. |
