Houston, We Have A Honeymoon!

Actually, we're connecting through Atlanta- but Houston was another option. Mr. SE and I finally decided on a honeymoon. It was somewhat difficult, because we will be traveling during hurricane season. Our criteria was under $3,000, tropical, and easy flight times.
Here's what our friends at The Knot had to say about good honeymoon locations in August: Bermuda, Brazil, Britain, Central & South Africa, Czech Republic, Fiji, France, French Polynesia, Ireland, Kenya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Seychelles, Thailand, USA (Alaska & Northeast). Are you seeing a trend? Very. far. away.


So we decided to chance it, if rains the whole week, at least we'll have a nice room to stay in! Some places we checked out were St. Lucia, Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica, and St. John. After researching some locations, I realized that it was important to me that we stayed at an all inclusive. Why? After a year of making decisions for our wedding and our new home, I don't want to make a single decision on our honeymoon. I want to relax in the sun with my new husband and not worry about where we're going to eat, budgeting money, etc.

Where did we choose? I'll save that for tomorrow. Feel free to leave a guess below. Until then- here's some of the resorts that struck our fancy (but we didn't book) during the research process...

Both are fantastic, and I've heard great reviews from people who have vacationed there. We ultimately found a fantastic deal at a 5 star resort, though, and weren't able to pass it up. Leave your guesses below! Who knows- if you guess correctly you might win a prize. Also- where did you go on your honeymoon? Did the time of year play a part in the location you chose?
