Honeymoon (Thread 2)

[Chili1113]

^Yes sis!! We have the rest of our lives to travel with the kids, but only once can we go on a real honeymoon diba? Buti nalang mukhang di tuloy yang States plan with the kids. SANA!! hehe

So happy sis na tuloy your 2-4 week Europe honeymoon! What month are you planning to go? Lets tip each other when we see some good airfare deals!!

[papemelroti]

Oo. no to kids. thats stressful, no alone time.

I am planning to go in March since I am trying to catch the auroras in Iceland. Not really picky with the place anymore since I kind of changed my mindset to what is more convenient but for now, Iceland is still part of the plan. if we take out iceland, I'm okay with it since I can just book a 2.5 hr flight to Yukon nalang and add morocco to the list! I am so weird lol

will definitely tip you if I see good airfares for june-july=)

[Chili1113]

Thanks sis!!! Lets compare honeymoon notes hehe up to now I havent completely scratched Iceland off my honeymoon list yet! How are you getting to Reykjavik? Is it via London or another city? I heard usually its via London and that got me interested because ive never been to London!! Happy honeymoon planning!!!

[papemelroti]

^ the logical approach would be to fly via london or amsterdam but I might do it via madrid with a stopover in paris nalang since I think we need to balance the itinerary with countries with warmer weather (warm for March standards anyway)

hi mga sis, anyone tried using hopper? it's an app na it can book you cheap flights from mla to parts of europe with stop overs from different countries.  saw some deals na bonga sa mura. may friend is using hopper for her trips in Europe. just want to ask if anyone is using this as well.

Yay... So finally H2B is thankfully not forcing the issue of going to the States with kids for our honeymoon =)

But the latest is... Instead of Turkey he said he would rather visit Iceland. And I am totally OK with that and very happy. Hehe he said though that I better put in the places I want to visit in Europe because it will be a while till we go back after our honeymoon.

So now we are looking into Santorini, Athens, Dubrovnik, Berlin, Reykjavik. The tricky part is finding our flights and so even if I want to see the Northen Lights, we might have to give up seeing it just so that we can book the limited and seasonal direct flight from Athens to Dubrovnik, and Dubrovnik to Berlin.

Down side of our new plan is Iceland is SUPER DUPER expensive. Which means, we will have to downgrade some of our accommodations in order for us to do a 1 week stay in Iceland. Goodbye honeymoon villa in Santorini!! Hehe

[Chili1113]

awwww.. love their honeymoon villas.. super nice those with private pool/jacuzzi on the balcony overlooking the sea&volcano!

[Chili1113]

^whhaaaa no chance na of us getting honeymoon villa in Santorini =( =( The nice villas in good resorts are so so expensive. But if we sacrifice the villas and get a superior room, or regular small villa with no private pool/jacuzzi... pwede namin singit out 1 week Iceland. But I think it is money well spent to include Iceland in our trip VS splurging it all on a villa. We will enjoy that more I think.

Europe is my dream honeymoon destination at sabi naman ni h2b kung papasok sa budget why not! haha Around how much ba mga sis if we will stay for 1 week? Nakakahilo mag research at mag DIY ng itinerary specially kung budget-friendly

Kung hindi kaya, Maldives kami. No need to think about itinerary, chill lang kami don - sunog!

True sis.. Andami kase pwede puntahan sa Europe and parang nakakahilo talaga if gusto puntahan lahat.. We'll be in Europe early next year for a month and DIY kami, as usual.. Will go France, Italy, Greece, Prague, and Spain.  If you'd be there for a week lang, decide muna kayo which country kayo punta then plan further from there

You can never go wrong naman in Maldives.  We were there 2 months ago and perfect siya for honeymooners kase super chill lang siya.. As in relax lang and very romantic and private

Hubby and I both surf kaya madalas kami sa Bali.  We usually stay in Kuta Beach for a nice surf and party
The places worth checking out are Tanah Lot Temple, Taman Ayun, Bedugul/Beratan Lake, Pacung Rice Fields, Uluwatu, or you can go Ubud or Jimbaran and Monkey Forest.  If you want adventure, surfing is always nice or you can go white water rafting..

^hello sis! for hotels sis, san maganda mag stay? 

gusto ko mag try mag surf! hihi..

In Kuta Beach, maraming hotels there to choose from.  Depende sa gusto niyo.. You can stay in a villa or you can stay in a hotel room.. You may go to agoda.com or booking.com, then type Kuta Beach.  It will show you all the hotels there and the pricing and hotel photos.  The price range is $40-$500 depende if 2/3/4-star or 5-star.  But all are nice na.. Then if me napili na kayong hotel/villa na gusto nyo, you can compare the  price sa agoda.com, sa booking.com, or sa official website then dun nyo i-book yung san cheaper ang rate..
If you wanna surf naman, marami surf school na nagtuturo for beginners.. There are surf schools na one-on-one.. Meaning one instructor for you and one instructor din for your hubby.. Tig-isa kayo para focused lang sila sa inyo all the time

Day 4 na ng honeymoon. Tokyo kyoto osaka kami for 9 days. Dito kami ngayun tokyo since puro pasyal pagod na kami palagi pagdating sa hotel. Hahaha.. hindi ata ideal for honeymoon ang ganitong schedule.

[shygirlme]

^haha agree sis! Kami nakapag honeymoon lang nung nag ryokan kasi pahinga talaga.

[blackgreen]

^korek!! Naging outing ang supposed to be honeymoon namin. Maganda din na hindi namin masyado tinipid yun hotel at least pag uuwi sa hotel masarap sa feeling na maganda uuwian tapos maganda pa view. Overlooking imperial palace, ginza, asakusa and tokyo tower sa hotel room. Ganda pagmasdan pag gabi
