Honeymoon in St. Lucia

It is surprising how time catches up with you. Though I still have 3 months until my big day, I can't help but think of how much time has already passed! Over the weekend we made some exciting progress for our wedding plans. We officially booked our honeymoon in the Caribbeans!

Not only is your honeymoon a chance to spend some quality alone time with your new spouse, it is also a great reward after months of wedding planning stress!

We will be absorbing all that life has to offer at an all inclusive Sandal's resort. I really think this was the best option for us. We considered traveling to Paris or Rome, ya know the cities of love, but when it came down to the nitty gritty, we both wanted to be able to relax and enjoy our time together as husband and wife. With that said, we picked the ever so romantic Sandals Regency in St. Lucia. Here are just a small glimpse of what we get to look forward to!

 

Here are some helpful tips for planning a honeymoon:

* Weather: You don't want it to rain on your wedding day and you especially do not want it to rain throughout your honeymoon. Research the weather for your destination! We decided to wait one month after our wedding so that the chances of hurricane season would be less slim. Just before you go, be sure to check the forecast at a weather website such as weather.com to help you pack. 

*Cost: Of course you want to go to a place that is breathtaking, but make sure you pick a place that fits your budget. You should be able to enjoy almost everything your honeymoon spot has to offer!

*Passport: Don't forget to apply for a passport if you don't have one already! Luckily my man is all set. I on the other hand am going through the passport debacle. Hopefully it comes in on time!

*Consider both sides: Boys and Girls like different things. While you are planning your honeymoon make sure to pick a place that you will both enjoy. Remember, this is all about the both of you!

What did you do for your honeymoon? With all the planning that goes in to a wedding I really want our honeymoon to be stress free. We both said we just want to feel pampered and catered to.... Take away the stress of the cost of the meal, or that expensive glass/es of wine coming your way. 

I love traveling to places that have plenty of options and what is great about this resort is that there are two other Sandal resorts nearby and when you stay at one you can play at all 3! Something tells me that we will have plenty to do at the Regency. A few fun things we plan to take full advantage of: Snorkeling, scuba diving, mountain biking, shopping, dining at some of their great restaurants and getting pampered at the spa. I honestly do not know if a week will be enough time for all that awaits!
