Belated Honeymoon

jessica0918, on March 2, 2017 at 9:59 PM Posted in Honeymoon 0 4

We have been happily married for almost 6 months now and are finally taking our honeymoon at the end of the month! We had to delay taking one mostly due to budget and also other factors such as a new job and a move immediately following the wedding, so I'm really looking forward to this trip that we sort of pulled together in a matter of weeks on a wim.

My question is, with the bliss of the wedding far behind us, how can we make our trip feel more like a honeymoon and less like a vacation? Neither of us are super romantic people and the destination we are going to is not your "typical" honeymoon resort destination. We are dividing our time between Northern Thailand and Vietnam- very exotic but rustic and perhaps a bit out of our comfort zones since this trip to SE Asia is a first for both of us. Has too much time past for this to even be considered a honeymoon? I would love to find a way to make this trip special without overcomplicating it. Ideas?

    We are taking our honeymoon 11 mo. after we get married to fill up our PTO banks! We are going to South Africa so we really want to maximize our time there since it is a suuuuper long flight from CA. I tend to think any vacation within 1 year of being married is a honeymoon but in all honesty, what does the time matter when the vacation, regardless of when it is taken, is all about relaxing and absorbing time with your favorite #1 Smiley smile You can make it special by booking a couples massage, splurging on a nice dinner for 2, get some cute lingerie...Maybe the day or night before you leave you can make time for 30 minutes of quiet time with your hubby to browse your wedding photos and reminisce a bit to kick start your honeymoon with those happy memories at the forefront of your minds Smiley smile

    Maybe set the tone by having a very romantic dinner for 2. Wear sexy lingerie. Book a romantic hotel with a hot tub. We are doing Thailand as well but we'll be in southern Thailand. I am jealous you'll see Northern. It's just too far with our limited time.

    Thanks everyone! I think a couples massage on the first day is a great idea like some suggested Smiley smile hopefully we will be in the spirit once over there, it doesn't feel real yet for some reason lol
