Great places for honeymoon in the US

We're in the midst of planning an intimate wedding someplace in central Florida. We're now searching for a nice location for a honeymoon - 4nights/5 days in late August early September. Any suggestions?

What sort of a honeymoon are you looking for? Traditional resort on the beach type honeymoon? Or something different?

Well f it were me i would get out of Florida - which to me is hellish in the summer. I would probably go to Maine.

But, it depends on what you want to do.

hmm - thinking of a kinda laid back honeymoon - really romantic, a nice spa. Doesn't have to be a beach though. And would love for it to be outside of FL.

> 4nights/5 days in late August early September

First and foremost, get away from the heat. Sorry, South and Southwest, but summer is TERRIBLE at that time. Even as far north as New York City could be uncomfortable.

For this short of a trip, I recommend you don't spend a lot of time traveling. Pacific Northwest would be great, but a bit far. Even the Rockies are iffy as far as distance is concerned.

> laid back honeymoon - really romantic, a nice spa

Northeast, laid back, romantic. Hmmmmm.

I'd concentrate my search on New England. Its heaviest tourist season is during fall foliage, so August would not be its most crowded time. But you could still enjoy a romantic B&B in an isolated town with a covered bridge and a water wheel. If you get bored, take a ride to the mountains. If you're STILL bored, drive to a large city. I think you'll have a grand time.

BTW, congrats on your nuptials!

Start with two nights at Westin St. Francis in San Francisco just like ksucat suggested, and then head to Post Ranch Inn or Ventana in Big Sur. Unforgettable.
