Honeymoon in Feb - exotic/interesting suggestions please
Discussion
Hi all,
Honeymoon upcoming in mid Feb, not sure where to go. We'd like some beach relaxation but the OH and I would get bored of that quickly so we'd need somewhere with other stuff to do as well.
Pencilled in short list:
- Caribbean (Cuba?)
- Somewhere in Asia (Malaysia?)
- South America (Peru for the Inca Trail?)
The other idea was a US road trip across Route 66. Obviously that would be quite different from the above but I suspect no less enjoyable.
We have up to 3 weeks in total.
Would appreciate your suggestions. TIA

Thanks for all the suggestions. Will feedback to the other half.
At the moment it's between Cuba and Fiji. Seems like a great blend of beach, culture and things to do. Fiji is ruddy far though! With what's happened with the change in US attitude, I suspect visiting Cuba sooner rather than later is sensible for fear of it changing beyond recognition in the next 10-20 years.
OH has relatives in SA so we can always save that (+/- combined with Mauritius) for a later date.
US Road trip appeals but another couple we know are doing this now so I suspect we'd prefer to postpone for the time being.

Thanks again for all your suggestions chaps. Appreciated.
We decided on Cuba in the end. Seems like a good blend of beach and culture. Moreover, I think it's important to experience it now before the inevitable changes. Flying direct with Virgin. More expensive but direct (plus the cheaper flights on Aeromexico and Avianca looked somewhat dubious).
Fiji seemed like something to do as part of a 'bigger' holiday incorporating Oz/NZ but it will be done. As will the US road trip and the S African adventure.
