Honeymoon Adventures

Honeymoons are very special times. They are precious because they cannot be repeated. It is the first time that you go on a trip together as husband and wife. It may be one of the few times that you will truly be alone together - especially if this is a second marriage for one or both of you.

Many a couple wonders, what can we do during our honeymoon? Are we really expected to do nothing but gaze into each other’s eyes all day and all night for the week we are gone? That’s fun but rather boring for some.

Actually, you aren’t expected to spend all your time “shacked up” so to speak. If you go to a place you’ve never been, it is expected that you will probably want to take time and go explore the scenery. Though you can bet that the best parts of your honeymoon are more likely to be about the time you didn’t leave your room.

This is the time to be your boldest. Really get to know each other, be a little adventurous and try things you haven’t done before. Wear the clothes and lingerie you chose specially for each other.

Keep in mind that love and romance is the key to a great honeymoon. If you decide that your honeymoon must be spent actively taking part in all the activities that the resort or country has to offer, then make sure that you do it together. For example, if you have your heart set on doing some extreme sports, choose extreme sports that you will do together. There are places where you can bungee jump as a pair, skydive together and parasail together. You can rent a catamaran, jet ski, canoe, raft or any other ride and enjoy them as a couple. The true spirit of the adventure is that you experience it as a pair.

Adventures don’t have to be so crazy. You can choose to have a gastronomical adventure instead. Sample the verious offerings wherever you choose to go. Discover the local favorites and specialties. Try eating the various exotic dishes, the one’s whose names you can’t pronounce. You probably won’t get another chance to taste them again unless you plan another trip here so make the most of it.

Adventure can be something as simple as finding an island cove to yourselves and pretending you are castaways. Having a picnic lunch or dinner and sun bathing and relaxing beside each other can be just as much fun as exploring the caves or trails of an island.

The best way to have a great honeymoon adventure - talk about what you would both like to do and choose a place that will allow you to do most of the activities you like together. There is no sense choosing to go climb Mt. Everest simply because your fiance is sure to enjoy it when you absolutely hate hiking. That’s no way to start a marriage. Remember love and romance, not just compromise.
