Quick and Warm Honeymoon
 
My fiance and I are getting married in Philadelphia on January 2nd. We can't take the time for a long honeymoon, but we would like a quick getaway to somewhere nice and warm for a few days.

We've thought about Puerto Rico and Bahamas. Are there any other suggestions? All inclusive and good airfare is a plus.

Thanks!

There are quite a few all inclusives in Mexico. A friend went to a Sandals resort and loved it.

I don't know what there is for resorts, but would Florida work? It'd be a bit quicker and possibly cheaper, both to get to and while you're there.

We never really thought of Mexico or Florida, as we wanted to experience something a little different for us. But I will look at it.

Have you thought of Vegas? probably warm, not hot, but cheap packages after the holidays.

Thanks for the Vegas suggestion. We have both been there before. Besides, if I suggest Vegas, he might just suggest eloping! :)

What about a honeymoon in California? It gets a little windy in January, but the weather is above the 50s. You might want to consider San Diego with its sandy beaches, theme parks and casinos that are only a drive away.

Negril, Jamaica.
It's farther south, and in the western Caribbean not Atlantic Ocean, so you can swim in the ocean comfortably even in Jan.

A seven-mile beach, live reggae music 7-nights a week at various beach clubs, and Red Stripe or Rum drinks - depending on your taste. You can drink their water, the food is great, and the people are extremely friendly - and English is the native language.

Beach hotels in any price range - from small locally owned ones in the $50US/night range to mega-resort AIs for $$$'s. Weddings and honeymooners are very comman.

Once you go, you know.
