Gay honeymoons

This has to be one of the best wedding traditions to adopt; a period of time after the madness of your wedding to just be together and relax.

Even if you haven't made a final decision on destination, if you know you want to go somewhere exotic you'll need to have your inoculations done well in advance. The other thing you need to bear in mind is your idea of a perfect holiday. Whilst you may be happy to spend some time on the beach, your partner may need some kind of sports or activities so you need to find a destination that will cater for both of your tastes.

Last minute deals for honeymoons?

Last minute deals may give you the best bargains, but as this is your honeymoon you might not want to leave anything to chance. The other thing to keep an eye on is the timing of monsoon and hurricane seasons. Whilst the prices may be lower at those times, you don't want to be hiding in a hotel basement or getting rained on during your honeymoon!

Some resorts offer special deals for honeymooners ranging from free champagne and chocolates on arrival to a night of free accommodation if there is a stopover. If you dress smartly so you're more likely to get an upgrade on your flights by letting them know you're on your honeymoon.

Not all resorts are gay-friendly

Some of the well-known tropical resorts only allow heterosexual couples to book so you (sadly) need to check that the one you choose is gay-friendly.

Other practical matters

Order the travellers cheques in good time and note down the numbers in a notebook in case they're stolen, and make a separate note of your passport numbers too in case those go astray. Aim to have all of the paperwork in order at least two weeks before you go, just to make sure you don't go totally grey.
