Travel Aficionados????

Hey guys I am getting married November 17th this year, Friday night before Alabama/Auburn game, (sucks since I wont get to see the game ) haha i guess she's worth it I need some help with a honeymoon from all you travel aficionados. I had an offer from my sister and brother-in-law to take a week of their time share but if any of you know most of the timeshares in the caribbean stay booked year round which makes that option null and void. So the other option is to just book it myself and I have done alot of checking with tons of websites and even local travel agents. If any of you travel often or know of a good website that has reasonable prices please let me know. Some of the sites that I have looked:

orbitz
travelocity
expedia
classicvacations
applevacations (which seems to me has the best prices)

Anyway thanks for any and all suggestions. And if you don't know of another site but have a great idea of where to go outside the states please let me know and I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks again.

barcelo bavaro in punta cana...D.R.....all inclusive and awesome...you'll love it...

Yeah I neglected to mention that pretty much anywhere is acceptable except there. She heard some story of one of my friends who went to some resort in punta cana on his honeymoon. And while he loved it, his wife on the other hand had some misgivings about the gunfire she over heard a couple of nights haha so needless to say my fiance has put a veto on anything D.R. although i have looked at a few resorts there and they are really nice or at least look it.

Thanks for the suggestion... Is there anyone else who could be of help?

i've been to the D.R a dozen times....puerte plata,juan dolio,punta cana,santo domingo,and santiago...i've never had any problem..too bad...you'd love it...

If your looking for quiet I love Turks and Caicos. Costa Rica is nice. I would highly recommend a travel agent though. If you travel outside the US or even in the US and you flight is delayed,cancelled etc........ Who you going to call if you book this all yourself? If you need a contact for a travel agent just PM me.

If I recall correctly, there was a bit of a border skirmish problem a couple years ago. Some friends of mine were honeymooning down there at the time.

No worse than my old apartment in Poughkeepsie, we used to hear gunfire there, too...

I concur with BassFever on getting a travel agent. We've taken lots of trips and I've found that depending on the time of year and the location, a travel agent has some of the best deals.

Also, I highly recommend getting an all-inclusive package, if possible. Make sure it includes booze - good booze, not lame-ass rail shit. The last thing you want to worry about is how much it will cost to get your new bride all liquored up. In fact, if you drink enough booze, you won't even care about gunfire all that much.
