Spring has officially arrived, and wedding season has started picking up speed! For many couples, the wedding is lovely, but spending quality time as newlyweds on a honeymoon just can’t be beat. After spending big bucks on the wedding and reception, taking an exotic three-week long honeymoon right after the wedding just isn’t feasible. A growing trend called “mini-moons” or “honey-weekends” means that you can have your cake and eat it too. Consider a shorter, cheaper vacation, right after the wedding, until you save up enough money to go all out! Depending on where you live, here are some honeymoon weekend ideas we recommend:
·
Relax on
a Cruise. If you live within driving distance of a cruise port, consider a
discount weekend cruise. Vacationstogo.com
offers extremely discounted cruises at the last minute. Cruise vacations can be
found for as little as $290 for a four day cruise on a four star ship!
·
Fly
somewhere close. Leave your car in the hands of Airlines Parking and search online
for discount airfare. Just taking a plane somewhere will make the destination
feel exotic. Tip: Make sure your flight is non-stop so you don’t waste precious
time on layovers.
·
Snag a
deal on a fancy hotel. You don’t have to leave town to feel like you are
away on vacation! Search discount websites such as groupon and pamper
yourselves to a few nights at a beautiful hotel in your town or the closest
city.
·
Discover
your hometown. If your budget is really tight, you can have a splendid
“staycation” right in your own backyard. Pick up a city guide and check out
local attractions you and your spouse have never done—a new museum, botanical
gardens, a far flung outlet mall etc. Doing things you both have never done
will be a bonding experience in the same was a traditional vacation.
If your “mini-moon” involves flying to a nearby destination, make sure to make your free online reservation with Airlines Parking to ensure the lowest rates on Detroit Metro Airport parking.
