Ahh, the honeymoon, whether it be a trip to Vegas or a quiet
beach hideaway it will always be remembered as one of the best
and most important vacations you've ever gone on. Here's the
Wedding Wonderful hotlist of great honeymoons.

NORTH AMERICA AND CARRIBBEAN

Las Vegas, Neveda-- Las Vegas is like nothing else in this
world. The lights, the gambling, the shows, the $4.99 prime rib,
you'll find it all here in Las Vegas like nowhere else. For the
couple who enjoys gambling, seeing shows, and the night life
this is the perfect trip.

Orlando, Florida-- Orlando is not just for kids, Walt Disney
World and the newer Universal Studios rank as one of the top
honeymoon destinations in the world. Not only does Central
Florida have the draw of the theme parks, but also plenty of
beaches and other attractions. This is the perfect trip for the
couple who enjoys roller coaster fun in the sun.

Niagara Falls, New York/ Canada-- Once the classic honeymoon
destination, Niagara Falls is still a great choice for couples
interested in sightseeing rather than laying on the beach. Both
the American and Canadian sides are great, but most of the
action, including gambling, occurs on the Canadian side and you
have a better view of the falls.

Hawaii-- The main destination of choice for today's
honeymooners, Hawaii offers the perfect combination of
sightseeing and beach fun. We selected the Big Island of Hawaii
for a place on our top ten honeymoon beaches list, but Maui,
Oahu, and Molokai are great options too.

New York City-- The everything capitol of the world. New York is
full of exciting cultural and sightseeing opportunities. Our
pick for the most romantic NYC activity? A moonlight horse and
buggy ride in Central Park.

Hilton Head, South Carolina-- Long known for being a golfing
mecca, Hilton Head is quickly developing into one of the biggest
northeast honeymoon destinations. The Old South is alive and
kicking here both architecturally and in terms of hospitality
and the white sand beaches are some of the prettiest you'll find
in this part of the country.

Poconos, Pennsylvania--Nothing screams heart shaped hot tub more
than the Poconos. This once premiere honeymoon destination is
still a wonderful choice for couples who want to relax and enjoy
the great outdoors mountain style.

Puerto Rico-- Puerto Rico has long been a hot spot for beach
loving couples and buffs of history. San Juan is the oldest
US-owned capitol city and the whole island is rich in Spanish
culture. Nightlife including dancing and casinos abounds.

The Bahamas-- The Bahamas is a string of 700 islands, the most
popular of which are located just off the coast of Florida.
Nassau, the capitol and any of the beaches on Grand Bahamas
Island or Paradise Island are popular with honeymooners. Our
Bahamas beach pick? Pink Sands.

Bermuda-- The island of Bermuda and it's infamous "triangle" are
located about 500 miles off the coast of North Carolina. This
string of 150 islands is famous for it's pink sand beaches and
unique pastel architecture. St. George is the main honeymoon
destination.

Caymen Islands-- The Caymens are located about 430 miles south
of Miami and although these islands have become popular lately,
they are much less commercialized than many other Caribbean
destinations. This is the perfect trip for the couple who
prefers quiet days in the sand and snorkeling to a wild
nightlife. Grand Caymen Island is the most popular island.

Jamaica--Jamaica is famous for it's white sand beaches and
waterfalls as well as it's regee culture. Although it is not
quiet as popular as some other Caribbean destinations due to
concern about crime this is still a great vacation for those who
enjoy a tropical setting. Nergil Jamaica made our list as one of
the top ten honeymoon beach sites.

The Virgin Islands-- Half US owned and half British owned, the
most popular Virgin Island destinations include St. John, St.
Thomas, St. Croix, and Tortola. St. Thomas and St. Croix, both
US owned are huge tourist destinations while St. John and
Tortola are popular but less touristy. We picked the island of
St. John as one of the ten best honeymoon beaches in the world.

Mexico-- The beaches of Mexico are said to be some of the best
in the world and like many of the Caribbean islands very
snorkeling and SCUBA diving friendly. The most popular honeymoon
spots include Acapulco, Cancun, and Puerto Vallarta. Acapulco
made our list of the top ten honeymoon beaches in the world.

EUROPE

Italy-- Italy has long been the world center for romance and
Italy is generally one of the most popular Europen honeymoon
destinations. Want romance? Spoleto, Bellagio, and Todi are
recommended by Frommer's. For historical sites we recommend the
Coliseum, the Roman Forum, Pompeii, the Vatican Museums, and the
Academy Galley art museum.

France-- Whether it's hitting the beach at the French Rivera or
seeing Paris from the Eiffel Tower, France offers a great deal
of romance. For history buffs, Château de Versailles is said to
be the most opulent palace in the world and the Louvre contains
some of the world's most famous artwork. The vineyards of
Bordeaux and the French Alps are terrific options for couples
looking for a more serene scene.

London, England-- London offers the cosmopolitan couple almost
everything they could want in a honeymoon destination-- culture,
history, scenery, and a kicking nightlife. Westminster Abby, Big
Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament are must
sees.

Prague, Czech Republic-- A piece of the Old World in modern
Europe, Prague is an exotic and deeply historical city. This is
the place where Mozart lived (the movie Amadeusreally was
primarily shot in Prague) and is famous for it's hundreds of
spires. Romantic ideas include visiting the Prague castles and
taking your own dinghie for a row at night on the Vltava.
