Honeymoon research and booking is not as easy as it sounds.

Firstly, where? Heaven on earth exist’s in the mind’s eye; they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The famed writer Mark Twain said, “i think a man and woman should choose each other for life, for the simple reason that a long life with all its accidents is barely enough time for a man and woman to understand each other. and to understand is to love”.

Maybe to one of you it entails white sand, a cool breeze, hot sun and no moving. Well, maybe a turning over every so often to allow for even tanning.

Maybe it’s an ornate room you don’t want to leave, a balcony view to die for, a duvet of silk, hand woven by a hundred nuns, covering an oversized bed made for the angels, lined with unicorn feathers and moonbeams.

Maybe it’s crystal clear blues, tropical fish and coral as you and yours scuba dive from sunrise then ride jet-skis into the sunset. Perhaps you like to hold hands as you inhale old world culture and history, walking through ancient ruins, breath-taking architecture and museums. Smiling with local craftsmen daily as you look for more inspiration.
