Step 3. Pack Light and Smart

Be a smart traveler carry the stuff only if you’d require it. Most of the times couples carry those fully loaded trolley bags and shed half of their energy and time in carrying the luggage and baggage. Pack in advance, make a honeymoon check list, shop for the things that you feel are necessary and carry only those. Packing will not be a tedious task if you do it thoughtfully.  Also, don’t forget that you might shop over there as well. So keep up some extra space for the incoming items ;)

Step 5. Budget Your Honeymoon

Plan up your finances, do not keep any dues pending so that you do not have to worry about splurging at your honeymoon. Also, remember that going to a well known exotic location does not guarantee you a great time. Talk to your partner, watch out for each other’s favorites and decide upon a place accordingly. It does not make sense spending a bomb over a destination you never craved for. There are many travel agents and guides who may help you do your budgeting within limits. Try finding out the rates from various different online sources, do not trust what you see for the first time. Always compare prices and go for the best affordable deal.
