Honeymoon Ideas:

First and foremost - do not go into debt to pay for your honeymoon!  Save that dream trip to Tahiti for your tenth or 15th wedding anniversary - when you can afford it.  Besides, we think it is more fun to go  somewhere where you can return every year on your anniversary.  Pick a big city that is close enough to you to get to inexpensively by air, or even better, by road trip.

If you live in Los Angeles:  Consider San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas (and if you have air miles, consider Hawaii). A Road trip to any of these cities has lots of fun places to stop on the way.

If you live on the East Coast:  Consider Washington D.C., New York City, Boston, or consider a fall wedding and go on a fall foliage road trip.

Cruises from both of the above areas are also surprisingly inexpensive.  A five or seven day cruise can often be less expensive than hotel and meals in a big city. (However, the "bed" situation is something to think about.  Pushing two twin beds together is not a very comfortable option - especially for Newlyweds. So be sure to ask about that before you book a cruise.)

Disneyland or Disney World may seem like a silly thing to do (my daughter thinks I'm crazy)  but I think it would be a really a fun and romantic thing to do and you can spend several days there and not see it all.  Both areas also have other things to do.  You are sure to be making many trips there when you have children and it will be fun to reminisce about your honeymoon every time you go.  Take photos at locations where you can repeat them as your family grows.

Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, etc. can also be fun road trips. 

There are two deciding factors:  1. Budget, and 2.  What would you both enjoy doing?  If your idea of a Honeymoon is relaxing by a pool, and just spending quiet time together, that will lead you to the destination resort type honeymoon.  If you want a little more adventure and want to hike, or sight see during the day, then you may want a hotel in an area that would provide that opportunity.

Caution:  One trip you shouldn't try to do for your honeymoon is a white water rafting trip.  Once the sun sets, you'll find it not the best place to spend your honeymoon evenings - it would be uncomfortable for many many reasons.
