The 50 Best Honeymoon Spots for 2010

... Since I'm getting married this year, I figured I'd look into what are some of the best honeymoon spots for 2010!!! I've gotten a few people on facebook who messaged me on honeymoon destination advice so here is an article I found on http://www.theknot.com/ that I thought I would post here.

Here are the Top 50 Honeymoon Spots for 2010:

1. St. Lucia
2. Los Cabos, Mexico

3. Rio de Janiero, Brazil

4. Maui, Hawaii

5. Napa Valley, California

6. Barcelona, Spain

7. Tuscany, Italy

8. Kyoto, Japan

9. Santorini, Greece

10. Paris, France - Plan a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower at dusk or at night with the flickering lights of the Eiffel Tower, take a romantic boat ride down the Seine River and see the Notre-Dame and the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, people watch while sitting at a cafe, or stroll the Parisien streets with a bottle of wine in tow!

I wanted to add my own spots:

-Dominican Republic: Cap Cana

(Stay at Secrets Sanctuary! It was perfect for honeymooners!)

-Capri, Italy (Read my blog on Capri)

...I love how from that entire list of 50 destinations, only Barcelona (Number 6!) will be on our itinerary in January. Yay, I can't wait... Check out my earlier blog posting titled "Our Honeymoon" to get a peak at where we're going. :)
