Honeymooners

[Rudyjohn]

I'm with you on both counts! We really, really wanted to go to St. Lucia for our honeymoon. It was just too far away and too expensive!

We've been wanting to go too, but for one thing, it's takes like, ALL DAY to get there from Chicago. From about 7am until landing at approx. 8pm. Then, on the trip back, you have to leave at about 7:30am. Who wants to get up, while on vacation, to get to an airport by 6am! Plus, flights are so expensive. But, we still would love to go one day.

Yep, that was a major drawback for us--hate to spend that much time traveling, not to mention the expense of the flight itself. It just looks absolutely heavenly, though. Sigh.

I do have this to day tho, every time we go somewhere else other than Sowal, we always say, "It's beautiful but the panhandle is so much more beautiful!" So we hesitate to try anything new!

Isn't that funny, but so true? We went to Mexico for the first time this year, and I said--the beaches and water are prettier in Seagrove!

Yes, we almost went to Zihuatanejo, but one of the hotels wouldn't accept children under 16 and the other wasn't available. But Lucky13 should check out these honeymoon spots as well. Besides, Mexico is so much cheaper. The Villa del Sol was willing to give us a big cut in rate, almost 50%! (We changed our minds and went elsewhere tho.)

Beautiful! Any idea if this area of Mexico was affected by the hurricane?

Villa del Sol does look really cool! Thanks for the links!

No, both of these places are located on the Pacific. But, also, they're located in cove areas, so the water is pretty protected, therefore, pretty boring to us. We like a little more excitement, rough water, like the Baja coast or even Cancun. (Plus, the sand on the Pacific is sorta brown/tan.) So, there are pros and cons.

And the other one, the La Casa Que Canta, is where they filmed the movie "When a Man Loves a Woman" w/ Meg Ryan. It's actually a much prettier property, if you get down thru the layers of photos, etc. on their web site.
