How to plan your honeymoon

Plan this even before you plan the wedding, because the best deals are available to early bookers.

There's nothing like a "typical" honeymoon anymore - couples even take mountainclimbing honeymoons together!

But if you're looking for a more relaxed first vacation together as a married couple, these three don'ts are important:

1.Don't pick an "exotic" inaccessible destination: Unless you have 3-4 weeks, pick places within an 8-9 hour flight range.

2.A standard "package" can take all spontaneity out of your honeymoon. Yet, a completely unplanned trip may leave you confused. Research to find a travel specialist who can draw up a personalised itinerary based entirely on your choices.

3.Don't think "abroad" is the only way. Honeymoons aren't about impressing people - they're about the two of you. Pick a place you both love. Enjoy relaxing by a poolside in Goa? Look no further! Do the exotic later.
