Destinations
By Declan Tobin
Your
big day is now over all the stress of preparing for that one
day is a fond memory, now its time to enjoy the best part of
the whole celebration, which is of course the honeymoon.
Whether it be a skiing trip in Angola or a Caribbean cruise
this is going to be the best holiday of your life so make
room in your budget and splash out.
The Relaxing
honeymoon
If you are drawn
towards lounging on a silver beach all day with hotel waiters
offering infinite margaritas and the most stunning scenery you will
ever see the Maldives is the place for you. The Maldives is the
most magnificent place of natural beauty on earth; it has the
essential elements of sun, sand and sea. The area is made up of
thousands of deserted islands, vast lagoons with infinite shades of
blue and turquoise, and beautiful underwater coral gardens, a
natural paradise for a tropical honeymoon.
The religion is
mainly Islamic and the people are a mixture of Sri Lankan, South
East Asian and Aryan origin, Dhivehi being the native language. The
Maldives has always been a busy maritime route for the African,
Arab and South East Asian mariners, and the sea now plays a major
roll in tourism by providing exciting water activities.
Snorkeling,
diving, underwater photography, are major activities here with one
of the highest underwater visibility distance of 50 meters. New to
the list is surfing but its a growing one with the O Neill Deep
Blue contest being held here this year.
If you prefer
doing nothing at all the luxurious resorts will cater to your every
need, with the majority containing relaxing spas and stunning
scenery there is no need to move from your resort, although a spot
of late night fishing relaxing under the night sky sounds like a
treat you might want to enjoy.
Go and Have
some fun
If you cant stand
the idea of long lazy days and nights why not take a trip to the
premier entertainment destination of the world, Las Vegas. Within
reasonable distance from most states in the US Vegas the city that
never sleeps has everything a couple who are young at heart and
looking for fun can enjoy.
Famously known as
the play ground of the rich and famous Vegas has something for
everyone with its concerts, nightclubs, comedy headliners, art and
its famous productions shows, no one will be bored. For the
gamblers at heart there are plenty of casinos to hang out in and
maybe even strike it rich, who knows! The hotels in Vegas are very
impressive with some of the most original and luxurious around The
Venetian and Mirage are just two to mention. There is also the
option to visit the grand canon which isnt too far, you can take a
helicopter ride straight from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and see one
of the most beautiful natural terrain there is, or why not hire a
car and take the 5 hour drive, you stay over night in a log
cabin.
There is plenty
to do when you get there, if you want to get down and dirty you can
take a trip down into the floor of the canyon which will take about
5 to 6 hours on horse back or mule, there you can spend the night
sleeping around a campfire covered by a blanket of stars. If thats
not adventurous enough why not go water rafting down the Colorado
River that should put some wind in your sails.
Slippery
Slopes
Why not whisk off
to a winter wonderland on the white snow capped mountains of
Canada. From the mighty Rockies to the alluring Laurentains Canadas
mountains are perfect for winter sports. With its natural
topography and perfect snow accumulation the Canadians have created
some of the best ski resorts world wide since the 1960s.The
diversity of the resorts is one of its best attractions, from the
champion slopes of whistler to the laid back hangouts of Red
Mountain there is a little something for everyone.
Tremblant is a
popular resort described as a cross between a cute Quebecois
village and a theme park there is lots of fun to be had here and
you dont have to be a professional skier to enjoy yourself. The
groups are of mixed ability and you can have fun learning to ski,
but prepare to get wet.
Tremblant is a
beautiful quaint village with brightly colored buildings knitted
together along the main street of boutiques and restaurants. There
are plenty of cozy wood cabin bistros and cafes to relax and enjoy
after the ski day. In the evening the village comes to life with
open-air theaters of fire-eaters, clowns on stilts, and live music.
There are also other activities such as skating on lac Miroir and
the fun water slides of La Source. You will be very busy during the
day and all cozy and loved up at night.

seekers among you this would be a perfect honeymoon, this is the
