We are getting married on 23rd May 2009 and haven't decided where we want to go on honeymoon yet!
That's probably because I want it to be so special and perfect, and have very specific crieria for this (and hardly any money!)
-We want somewhere warm/hot
-MUST have loads of interesting things to do/see* - I HATE just lying there sunbathing all day!
-Great food
-History & culture
-Friendly, clean, safe, and nice luxurious accomodation.
-Just one flight, pref within 6hrs-ish but flexible with that (OH hates flying but will endure it)
*OK this is where it gets complicated! I am a walking contradiction because I hate sitting still and want to see & experience amazing things - but can't actually swim (so that cuts out a heck of a lot of holiday activities :() and realised half way up Snowdon that I am actually petrified of heights. Typical! I am OK with certain types of heights where I feel safe, but am clumsy and accident prone, so standing near an unprotected edge is the worst. Such a shame cos in theory I would love exciting mountain walks, but I just can't control the fear that grips me and takes over!
To give a clearer idea of our ideal honeymoon... we went to The Sonesta St. George in Luxor on holiday a few years back, and that would be absolutely PERFECT (if we hadn't already been there!!) The flights and accomodation were only about £400 each (1 week) and the hotel was so luxurious it was amazing! We had fantastic food every night, and during the day we went to see the Valley of The Kings, the temples, the tombs etc and saw the most amazing, mind blowing sights which I will remember forever. I just don't think anything else I could ever see would rival that - the awe of what people managed to achieve so many thousands of years ago.
The only drawback was, we went in June and it was about 48 degrees, which was ridiculous!
So, is there anywhere else in the world we could go that would be as amazing, without costing thousands of pounds?! We don't have a specific set limit but something under £3000 for 2 weeks for both of us inc spending money would be great.
Thanks in advance xx
