Honeymoon: Tropical Packing Tips
Traveling to Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean or taking a tropical cruise? Here is a list of tips to keep in mind for those sultry romantic destinations:
Sarongs/Pareos are incredibly versatile and can double as long, elegant skirts, be halved for short, cute beach cover-ups or even triple as a shawl for cooler evenings.
Pack several bathing suits not only for variety, but for practicality as well. Other items such as a light jacket, poncho and umbrella will come in handy for surprise rain showers which often occur in tropical climates.
Keep yourself hydrated: both on the flight to your destination and especially while at your destination. Bottled water is the safest bet no matter where you go.
Use a minimum of 30 SPF waterproof sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection. A nasty sunburn not only does not look romantic, being in pain does not contribute to an enjoyable honeymoon. The sun's rays in tropical destinations are notoriously stronger and more intense than you can imagine, and you will STILL need to take care of burning with a 30 SPF. Build your tan gradually and safely. Not only will it look better, it will last longer when you come home! Checkout daily UV reports at www.weather.com/activities/health/skin/.
Buy a disposable, waterproof camera for snorkeling, kayaking or any water-related trips.
Pack a good hat that protects your face and neck. For the extra sun-sensitive, there is specially-designed clothing that can block out the sun and keep you cool. Many of this sun-block clothing can be worn in the water while swimming. Lycra rash guard clothing is made from shirts to full body suits which allow swimming with complete sun protection.
Pack versatile shoes: dressy sandals for a special romantic dinner, good walking shoes (with socks that wick away the moisture), and a pair of "water shoes" for kayaking or other water sports (Tevas, reef booties, etc).
Think comfort and safety: pack bug repellent, anti-itch cream and a mini-first aid kit. If traveling to a remote area, consider all-purpose antibiotics and other medications as well.
Buy a travel-size water mister for your face and body (Evian makes a great one) or buy a plastic mister bottle and fill it with ice water the morning you set out for sightseeing. Use this mister while taking in the sites or lying on the beach. It's amazing how refreshing and cool a mist of water on your face and body feels in that blazing tropical sun and it's very healthy for your skin, too.
Don't be fooled into thinking that because you're in, on or near water that you're hydrated. It's more important than ever to keep yourself hydrated by drinking lots of water!

Honeymoon: Countdown Checklist
From tropical honeymoons in the Caribbean, Hawaii, Jamaica and Mexico, to cruises, and all inclusive packages, there is a myriad of choices for today's newlyweds. With all the details going on in planning your wedding day, thinking about the details for your honeymoon should not be stressful. In fact, it should be fun. Staying organized will help ensure that you enjoy planning what should be one of the most memorable trips of a lifetime. Below is a checklist and calendar of to-do's to help you stay organized during this most busy time:
6-12 months prior:
Discuss your honeymoon ideas with your fiancé. Talk about your budget, where you want to go and how you can work out accommodating both budget and ideal location. Finalize your destination and select a travel agent. If you don't have a passport or need to renew your current one, now is the time to do it. Do not wait until the last minute.
4-3 months prior:
Make your reservations and send in your deposits. Start thinking about your packing list (clothes, items necessary to the climate to where you're going), what travel documents will be necessary, etc. For suggestions on packing tips, click here. Check with your bank and make sure your ATM card will work if you plan to use it to withdraw cash while you're traveling. Ask if there are any fees and request a list of ATM's in your destination. If you are going to another country, find out how you can use your cell phone abroad (what the fees are, what the access codes are and if you will need to rent a different phone altogether).
2 months prior:
Get confirmation numbers for hotels, car rentals and airlines.
1 month prior:
Make sure you have your luggage and camera.
Photocopy itinerary, travel documents (tickets, passport), and leave copies with friends or family at home. Take some photocopies with you and keep these separate from your purse and carry-ons. Arrange for someone to care for pets, garden, plants and other responsibilities while you are gone. With the advent of the Internet, most financial obligations can be pre-programmed in advance on line for automatic debit, providing bill-paying service even when you are not home.
1 week prior:
Start packing. Now is the time to make sure that everything will fit and what you need to adjust in your packing. Don't wait until your wedding night before you leave on your honeymoon, when you're exhausted. Arrange for someone to pick up your wedding clothes at your hotel so you can just leave for your honeymoon. If you are having a destination wedding, see How To Pack Your Wedding Dress. Purchase your traveler's checks, get your travel cash, and check your camera and other electrical equipment to make sure they're all working before you leave. Don't forget your driver's license! Even if you're going to a different country, you will need this to apply for a temporary international driver's license.
Day of Departure:
Double-check to make sure you have all your tickets, passport, drivers license, currency, lots of one dollar bills for tipping, and call your airline to confirm your flight one last time before you leave. Allow plenty of extra time for security check-in procedures, especially with all the new regulations since 9/11.

Honeymoon: Travel Tips
Travel agents provide expertise, special vacation packages and an "in" to the best deals in the industry. Whether it's a honeymoon to the tropics, a cruise, or a week in Paris, nothing equals the experience of a professional travel agent who specializes in romantic travel. To find the best travel agent for you, check with friends and family for recommendations to find one that's reputable and reliable. Referrals are often the best way to find the best in the business.
Book your reservations as far in advance as possible from a travel agent. Booking your ticket directly with the airline or carrier does not necessarily ensure the lowest rate possible. When talking to your travel agent, ask for package deals and honeymoon upgrades. BeverlyClarkTravel.com is the premiere agency specializing in romantic travel and will find the perfect deal for your honeymoon or destination wedding.
