Jamaica has all that minus the volcanoes. I love Ocho Rios (where we're going) because it has a beautiful beach AND gorgeous mountains & waterfalls! And snorkeling is right off of the beach where we're staying ~ I can't wait!!!

It really is the perfect place for Reggie & I - he LOVES the beach and I prefer hiking, mountains and waterfalls!

[RaydensMama]

OMG yes to Bora Bora! But I agree, that is a fortune. Like a grand a night without airfare! Ive always wanted to go there. Of course I could make a list a mile long of all the places I wanna go to!! :blush

[Rachelle E.]

hawaii??

 

And yeah, I'm with you on the Bora Bora...in fact David and I have promised that we'll take a vacation there for a future anniversary - probably a "big one" since it will be a pretty big trip! :-)

[TammyWright]

well, since you are on the west coast why not take advantage of it and do something like hawaii or tahiti...

 

one of my best friends and DH's brother honeymooned in belize and loved being on the resort but said it can get dangerous off the resort...my BIL actually was chased through town one night and he is a pretty mellow, levelheaded, adventurous guy...like he drove a vw bus from oregon down through mexico on a whim...

 

costa rica is very charming...they have small boutique hotels instead of the mega resorts...if you are gonna do caribbean what about st. lucia?

[TATrisha]

Some options... there is a cruise that leaves from Ft. Lauderdale and goes to belize, cozumel and key west...

 

Or youcould do the key west, grand cayman (love this place), ocho rios

 

Or, San Juan, St Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St Kitts...

 

Oh my goodness the list is endless!

hey Heidi, i know you previously mentioned that some of your family was worried about safety. is it safe to go off and do all the activities?

 

i haven't researched jamaica all that much, but i know when we were looking at the DR there was a big misconception that it was really unsafe. but really it was more about being a smart traveller

as long as you do excursions through companies with a good reputation! I mean, I'm not planning on hiring the cheapest local I can find to take us on a hiking path to the mountains! haha! there are reviews on different excursions on Trip Advisor; that's what we're largely counting on to make our decisions. There are too many things we want to do there ~ zip line canopy tour though the mountains; swim with dolphins; horseback ride on the beach; snorkeling; Dunns River Falls; the list goes on!!!

I know a couple that just honeymooned in St. Lucia and they loved it. They got out and did trips too.
