Hi all,
I am due to be married in September 2010 and am now in the process of arranging our honeymoon.
We would be looking to travel middle two weeks or last two weeks in September.
We are looking for a faraway destination all inclusive, and nice and hot and mainly dry.
Are there any suggestions as to where we could go this time of year to avoid any heavy 'Rainy Seasons'?
Many thanks in advance.
We got married and spent our honeymoon at the Iberostar Paraiso Maya in the Riviera Maya, Mexico in October 2006. Had a fantastic time but the weather was iffy and we spent a lot of time sheltering ourselves from rain showers! If I had my time over again, I might have possibly chosen somewhere a little dryer. We go to the Caribbean each year in the October half term and have had two holidays cancelled due to hurricanes in the last 7 years and have missed one in Cuba by a day. This year we're going to Turkey instead and it's nice not to be checking the hurricane prediction websites for weeks on end beforehand
Can I wish you good luck with all your wedding arrangements.
Unfortunately you have chosen an unpredictable time of year in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean (Maldives) and Asian Pacific areas as it is in the middle of the Hurricane season (June - November) in the Caribbean, the Monsoon season (mid May - November) in the Indian Ocean area and the Pacific typhoon season (May - November) in Asia
These rainy seasons can be unpredictable with sudden and VERY heavy downpours of torrential rain and winds even if not directly affected by any hurricane so it is down to pot luck weather wise I am afraid.
Having said that most of the rains / winds only last a short time and pass quite quickly unless you are unlucky enough to have a full blown tropical storm hit you which would be rather frightening and would cause problems such as cancellation or curtailment of your holiday
If you are able to postpone your honeymoon until slightly later you would be able to go to any of these areas without too much problems however if you can't postpone / delay your honeymoon you would have to take a chance with the weather.

My personal recommendation for you would be a good hotel in Mauritius which should be fine in September.
Hope this helps you a bit, and if you want more info please come back and ask as we are a very friendly bunch
