Your Honeymoon Suggestions for Ivan & Karen — July 2003

I would like to recommend the Galapogos (5-7 days), the Ecuadorian rain forest (3 days)and a Brazilian beach (maybe Jericoacoara, Ceará State, 4-6 days). Michael, New York

Some friends of mine went to Aruba for their honeymoon and enjoyed it  tremendously. But I don’t know if you want to be in the warm beach climate. Hawaii caters to honeymooners and it’s also supposedly very beautiful there. I think it’s the smaller islands that are better than the main island. Again tropical sunny beach climate. Morgan, Chicago.

It’s really a “no brainer”: Summer – Jerusalem Winter – Elat. In both cases you should include a 2-3 day side trip to Petra. Gil, Israel.

French Polonesia – Bora Bora, Rafi in Istanbul

I went to Morocco this time last year for vacation and loved the place.  Beautiful, lots to see, lovely people, great food, great bargain even if you stay in posh hotels.  You could stay in one of those transformed palaces. Which reminds me that Spain has a whole system of Paradores, which is government-run hotels in transformed palaces, monasteries, etc.  Spain and Morocco make two destinations (or rather, two countries) in one trip.  How does that grab ya?  Elizabeth, New York

Italy: Rome, Tuscany, Florence, Capri and Venice. Tuscany may well be a beter bet for a longer stay but Capri is IT if you consider a two day stay there. Ayman, Bahrain

i’m partial to taking a honeymoon in Staten Island. Great view of the river, lots to do, and easy access to New Jersey. Your honeymoon hotline guru, David, New York

I think I would do a Pacific trip.  Maybe start from San Francisco and Napa Valley, then fly to Hawaii – stay on the big island or Maui (avoid Oahu unless you have never been there) and finally relax for a few days at the best resort in American Samoa before returning to the mainland. David, Philadelphia.

For Me it’s a no-brainer.  Greek Isles and either a cruise to Cyprus or adjacent Italy (preferably the south).  That’s my plan/hope for when I get to do it someday, anyway. Ethan, Philadelphia

Negative offers:  Rammalla – too noisy; Jerusalem – You would be the only tourist your hotel room would be the only one with light at night/ it would be a gloomy sight for the inhabitants. Therefore, recommend in Winter: Cotchin in the state of Kerala India it is the perfect city of heaven; Summer: Katmandu – Nepal. David, Israel

Our vote is for Ventanas al Paraiso Resort (Rosewood Hotels) in Los Cabos, Mexico.  This is a top five for all North American resorts.  A bit pricey, but worth every penny.  The cuisine is International and the service the best in the world.  This is where Martha Stewart was visiting when she phoned in the sell her Imclone shares.  The spa is my favorite.  They pamper you like you would not believe.  You have extreme privacy and the setting is romantic.  Nicholas & Marnie, Miami

a trip around the world has my favor and it’s still possible to do it with concorde (if seats on BA are not booked up, that is). Marc, Toulouse, France

Paris is for lovers. Ilan, Frankfurt, Germany.

and the winner for the best suggestion is:

1) All Seasons – The Moon – Only a handful of people have been there. If you can afford it, I hear it comes highly recommended. The views are especially breathtaking. Watch out for golf balls which are still floating from previous guests.  Careful on the re-entry, use a non-US carrier.
2) Winter – Trek to the North pole or South Pole. Why? Because you have been everywhere else I think.
3) Summer – Well Ecuador is supposed to be beautiful, and hot. I missed it on my tour, but heard it was great.
4) Solstice (Summer/Winter, whatever) – Newgrange in Dublin, Ireland, Stonehenge in England, various pyramids in Egypt and South America. Supposedly the most enlightening experience you can have at these well known wonders of the ancients. Okay, Stonehenge is not an ancient wonder, but that is not the point.
5) Chappaquidick – You two probably could nail Kennedy if you investigated it.
6) Dallas, Texas – Same here for his brother.
7) Desert in California – Destination….The “lost” sets from the original Ten Commandments movie by Cecil B. Demille in black and white and no sound. These were filled in and covered by tons of sand and only recently in the last few years have they begun to appear. You never said what you wanted to do on your honeymoon.
8) Lastly, rent a nice long boat, and crew if necessary, and float wherever the tide takes you in one of the 7 seas for a few weeks. Make sure to take the wind up radio, telephone and flashlights so you don’t worry about electricity. Keith, Boca Raton

What we’re likely to do: Jerusalem and Italy (Amalfi Coast or Isle of Capri).
