Caribbean Islands: Celebrate Your Honeymoon in Tune with the Nature
- By: Bishop Candy, 2008-04-29

A honeymoon vacation is a memorable thing in your life. If you are a newly wed couple, you can plan a Caribbean honeymoon. Caribbean Islands are one of the very few places on the earth that are exotic. Honeymooning in the Caribbean Islands is the ultimate romantic destination.

The only problem here is that it is really a hard task to decide upon any one of the Islands, as there are around 7000 Caribbean islands. Of these 7000 islands, around 36 island groups are made up of single islands like Jamaica or group islands like Bahamas that have around 2400 islands. The Bahamas islands provide the ideal setting for all activities you would like to do on a Caribbean honeymoon. You have a variety of accommodation available from family run inns dotted along the old world city streets to the five star resorts. And if you desire to swim with dolphins, Grand Bahama offers you the Dolphin Experience.

Every island has its own unique intimate resorts and cultural flavor to make a perfect honeymoon. Making a choice among these Islands is not easy though all of these islands are uninhabited. Every Caribbean island has its own unique tradition and culture and making a choice is not simple still. However honeymooners can find at least one all-inclusive resort on each and every island, which can become the best thing.

A Caribbean honeymoon provides pleasure with perfect tune with the nature that suits your feelings, with the wonderful beaches and calm seas. You never have to worry about time when you go to a Caribbean honeymoon vacation, as you are free to do what you want to do in the Caribbean irrespective of any time-based pressures you face in your regular day-to-day life. The rich and tropical Caribbean honeymoon resorts provide exotic spots for the married couple.

You should remember a few things when you think of a Caribbean honeymoon.

First, you should select an island that would suit you as newly-weds. As already said, there is no dearth of islands to select according to your taste. If you wish to have a typical Caribbean honeymoon experience, the best place to visit is Jamaica. It is a large island that provides shopping, clubbing, waterfalls etc apart from a lot of all-inclusive resorts. If you wish to have more privacy and intimacy, you have a number of smaller islands offering you complete privacy. You can visit Dominica and Culebra if you require privacy with your spouse. Here you can enjoy time and take rest in warm sun with your loved one though these islands do not provide much amenities.

The next thing that you should remember is to choose an all-inclusive resort in your Caribbean honeymoon trip as you can find a lot of resorts to choose from. You should make a choice of resorts that are special for ‘couples only’ or ‘adults only’. Such resorts are exclusively available for couples on romantic holidays and would not have to bear overexcited kids and noisy families.

And finally, you should pack your luggage and get ready for the trip after making reservations for the trip. Most Caribbean honeymoon packages are include all inclusive in the price of the trip so that your beach privileges, water sports, resorts, special prices at restaurants, hotel gifts, Champagne and other free drinks are taken care of.

Travel 101 tips - Beach Holidays

Beach Holidays for Fun in the Sun  - By: Charles Petty, 2008-04-10

Everyone loves beach holidays! The little ones can dig in the sand and splash in the lapping waves. The older ones can swim, get a tan, or just relax. The inquisitive types can explore for sea life, tide pools, and drift wood. The warm breezes and natural beauty are invigorating and restorative. Any trip, however, can cause discomfort if you do not plan well. Here are things you can do to make your beach holidays easier, safer, and more meaningful.

In many parts of the world, people head for their beach holidays in the family car. When planning a trip, it’s always a good idea to give the car a good cleaning out first. This will give you more room for your luggage. Stock you glovebox, too, with a few first aid and comfort items, such as sunblock, acetominiphen for headaches, a roll of antacids, a few cough drops, and a few bandaids. Don’t forget a couple of scrunchies or pony-tailers for long hair. Get the tires checked and replace any that are likely to go flat. Get an oil change if it’s getting close. Road trips are not much fun when they include breakdowns. And whatever you do, make sure you have a map and a place to keep it handy.

Travelling with kids is always a challenge. They may be particularly excited and impatient when they know they are going on beach holidays. Make sure they have cool water bottles and healthy snacks to munch. Try a simple car game to make the time pass. Many kids like looking for letters of the alphabet on signs. If several people get involved it can be quite fun.

With beach holidays particularly, there is always a need to provide for skin safety. Be particularly careful about being in the sun for long stretches of time between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Use a sunblock with a high SPF rating and replace it after getting wet or drying off with your towel. The towel you choose can make a difference too. Thick towels get heavy and tend to trap a lot of sand. You may find you like thin towels at the beach. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes and some sort of foot protection to keep your feet from being burned on the hot sand.

With a little preparation your beach holidays can be enjoyable and problem-free. When you arrive home you will be relaxed, refreshed, and ready for work. Take a minute to unpack and get your laundry going. It won’t belong until the kids will be shouting, “When can we go on beach holidays again?”
