So you said your “I do,” endured the endless reception, and finally led your guests out the door. Now it’s time for the fun part… the honeymoon. The question, of course, is, where will you go to spend those first few days of wedded bliss?

Of course, I hope you made that decision and those arrangements months in advance… and truth be told, there is no right or wrong way to have a honeymoon. You basically go where you want and spend time there. My own suggestion was to just go on a road trip with no pre-planned route or destination, but the wife didn’t take it and we ended up having a wonderful week on Kiawah Island SC (not bad at all).

So where will you go? Some of the most popular options for honeymoon getaways are:

NY. The city that never sleeps. The big Apple. You could spend months there and still never enjoy all it has to offer. From a stroll through Central Park to a Broadway show, some of the world’s best restaurants and hotels, as well as scenic and historic attractions like the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Keep in mind, though, that if you’re looking for a nice, quiet getaway, New York City may not be the best option.

It’s Better In The Bahamas. No Argument With quiet beaches surrounded by crystal clear waters in an inviting-sounding island setting, the Bahamas is the perfect place. You have 29 islands to choose from, with expeditions to caves, wildlife, windsurfing, swimming or just a relaxing moment in your hotel or bungalow.

The only drawback is that not all islands are the same, and some may provide a more peaceful and enjoyable experience than others. It is also recommended to avoid the Bahamas during the hurricane season, from June to November.

France, Mon Cheri. If you have the budget, a trip to France can be one of the most romantic and exciting getaways you could wish for. With historic inns and monuments like the Eiffel Tower, France is one of the perfect romantic destinations. Unfortunately, the trip can get expensive pretty quickly, so make sure you have an adequate budget for the excursion.

Florida. Stay in the good old USA with a trip to Florida; The Sunshine State is packed with tourist attractions from coast to coast, from the nightlife of Miami to the theme parks of Orlando and the white sand beaches of Pensacola. It will be very easy to pack a week or twelve of activities without having to do the same thing twice. Keep in mind, however, that spring draws millions of spring break revelers to Florida, and the summer months there can be extremely humid.

Vegas. Often associated with wedding ceremonies, Las Vegas is an ideal destination for the simple reason that it is Las Vegas. From casinos to shows to food to hotels, nothing in Las Vegas is done by halves. If you plan to elope, most hotels have their own wedding chapels. A word of warning, the game can get very addicting very quickly. You are strongly encouraged to set a gaming budget, how much you are willing to spend and how much you are willing to lose, and stick to it. Don’t let financial irresponsibility make you a permanent resident!

Bermuda Islands. A collection of 150 islands that are perfect for your honeymoon getaway, Bermuda offers secluded cottages on long stretches of white-sand beaches, and located only about a 2-hour plane ride from the US East Coast. there are plenty of activities or nightlife, but if you’re looking for a nice, quiet, and largely non-commercial destination, Bermuda may be the perfect choice.

Hawaii. Does this even need a reason? Hawaii is probably the number one honeymoon spot, no doubt due to the spectacular scenery, thriving nightlife, and other tourist attractions like Pearl Harbor or volcanoes like Kilauea in Volcanoes National Park. The main drawback is the number of people who will have the same idea as you… tourists outnumber Hawaiians 6 to 1 and native Hawaiians 30 to 1.

Of course, your idea of ​​the perfect honeymoon may include the Motel 6 down the street and all your meals at Dennys. Whatever destination you agree on, congratulations and may you enjoy many years together.
