Honeymoon Ideas!
 
To all you lovely married folks out there - where did you go on your honeymoon?

I'm getting married in August, and we will be setting off for our honeymoon from Dubai. We will only get a week for this trip (we're planning a soopa doopa 2 week trip next year, which we're saving up for). However, we are looking for ideas for a "relaxing but luxury" holiday! Basically, we want to get our Padi Diving course certs & just chill too! We'll have 7 days.

Where would you recommend in September (we are planning for the second week in September to travel)? Maldives, Seychelles...? Which travel company? :confused:

Just looking for ideas really. :wub:

Thank you to all you lovely BE'ers!! :thumbup:

Well as an aside, if you want to do your Padi course then make sure you do the theory part online before you go - then take the online certificate with you. It should then only take two days to get qualified once you are there (wherever there may be).

Cool! Thanks for this...have just checked the Padi website. Very interesting. Will look into it before we head off anywhere. :thumbup:

Why not try the lovely holiday island of Boracay in the Phillipines.
You can get you padi license easy.
I have a mate that has a hotel there on the island and they could easy do a deal the local (one of many ) diving shops on the island.

We went to Broome, Western Australia - beautiful place. Didn't do any diving though as my nephews good friend had just been eaten by a tiger shark at the time so decided to stay out of the sea and stick to the swimming pool.
