Imagine sitting with your friends and family one year after your wedding. You’re talking about your big day, showing photos and exchanging stories. Then it comes time for the honeymoon pictures. Instantly you’re taken back to that time. You remember the dance you had together under the stars on a clear moonlit night. You recall the smell of the tropical flowers that were there waiting in your suite, a welcome gift from the hotel. To have these kinds of special memories, your honeymoon has to be unique and unforgettable.
You spent months and months planning your wedding. It was more work than you ever thought was possible. You juggled making the arrangements while working and you smiled while you did it and never let your stress show. Now, it’s time for the fun part: your honeymoon. It’s the first holiday you’ll have as a newly married couple. It’s an important beginning to the rest of your life together. It’s an investment in your future. Consider the possibilities.
Book a trip to South America where you can learn to dance the tango in Buenos Aires, sample fine wines in Chile, and hike to Machu Picchu in Peru. Or live the good life in Tuscany by renting a villa in the countryside and hiring a car. Shop the local markets for wonderfully fresh bread, cheese, and olives that you can snack on during an impromptu picnic among the rolling hills. Perhaps you’d like a culturally rich honeymoon, spent exploring the temples and ancient sites in Thailand, then spending the night at a five-star hotel that caters to your every need.
Remember that honeymoons don’t have to be a once-in-lifetime experience. Couples today take second honeymoons, third and fourth, too. You can renew your vows at many resorts that will take care of the planning for you. Celebrate your anniversary, not with just a holiday, but a honeymoon, to make it even more meaningful. Your Travel Counsellor can show you how.

Bali - Paradise!
Tuesday 2nd September 2008
Travel Counsellor: Mary Foyle
It is quite a while since anyone asked me to quote for a holiday to Bali. It seems to have disappeared off the radar during the past few years. This was mainly due to the bombing at Kuta some years ago and also the fact that Irish citizens had to apply in advance for visas to enter Indonesia.
However, this changed recently and John (my husband) and I decided to head off in September. This was to be our first trip away together without the kids in years and we were really excited. We chose Bali as we had a preference to visit an Eastern country and most of the other countries eg Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam were right in the middle of the rainy season. Bali was everything we had hoped for – lovely hotels, fantastic long stretches of white sandy beaches, fabulous sunsets, great restaurants and bars and most important of all, lovely people. The Balinese were friendly, gentle and courteous and not a bit pushy when plying their wares.
Our first stop was Legian Beach and our hotel... view full story
