Burger Travel specializes in planning honeymoons for couples; however, many couples do not realize that their partner may have a different idea for their honeymoon. We've provided this detailed page with questions, tips, and suggestions for each other that will make your honeymoon an event to remember, while we take the stress out of the planning process.

Here are a few basic questions discuss:

• Do we want to get married in the same place we honeymoon?
• Do we want to go around the corner or around the world?
• Do we want to save or splurge?
• Do we want sunshine or snow?
• Do we want to be lively or lazy?
• Do we want to learn something new that we can enjoy together?
• Do we want a cruise, a honeymoon package, an all-inclusive resort, or a trip tailored just for the two of us?
• What are you honeymoon dreams and fantasies?

Couples often take their honeymoon as an afterthought, and this is a mistake. A honeymoon is an investment in memories for the rest of your life; do not take chances with it. Instead, we recommend starting with a conversation. Sit down and talk about the level of luxury and privacy you want, what you want to do every day, and the type of nightlife you desire. However, do not despair if you reach an impasse because we've put together a sample of profiles to help you find the perfect escape to fit your personalities.

Tan Fans

Those partial to sun, sand, surf and turf need to get on the same wavelength when choosing where to share a beach blanket. Social creatures that thrive on team sports might prefer the communal atmosphere of an all-inclusive beach resort. There you can mingle with other newlyweds over a sand-castle building contest, get competitive with a game of beach volleyball, or forge new friendships while swimming with dolphins. Those who prefer their own place in the sun should head to an island retreat with private white-sand beaches: You can unwind to the soft sound of lapping waves, arrange a romantic picnic on a remote beach, or get certified in scuba diving and explore tropical coral reefs with your sweetie.

Survivor, Honeymoon Style

If khaki is the predominant color in your wardrobe, if the rumble of the jungle makes you roar, choose an eco-adventure in the wilds of a rain forest to bring out the animal in you. Canoe down the Amazon and spot toucans, lemurs, and spider monkeys in the trees. Get down and dirty on an archaeological dig in Egypt (do not forget to explore the pyramids and the Sphinx). Alternatively, search out wildebeest on a Serengeti safari, and share a kiss overlooking Africa's Victoria Falls.

Fit To Be Pampered

If pleasurable pursuits are close to your heart, if you're health conscious and like working out the kinks with a Reebok Core Training class followed by a Shirodhara massage; or if you'd like to work off those last lingering five pounds before returning to civilization, a spa honeymoon should be on your menu. Begin your days hiking through local mountains and getting focused in a yoga class. Wind down by being pummeled into putty and dining on fresh organic cuisine. Starting a new health regime as you embark on your life together is a recommended prescription for even the most incurable romantics.

Shipboard Romantics

If crashing waves, the wind in your hair, and salt in the air appeals to your free spirit, setting sail on a cruise ship and exploring new worlds just might be your ticket. Cruise ships are no longer just floating buffets with some gambling and Vegas-style entertainment thrown in. Of course, there is plenty of time to lounge on the pool deck and sip pina coladas, but it is hard not to be enticed by what cruises have to offer. These mobile luxury hotel-and-spas can transport you to such exotic locations as the south Pacific, the Galapagos, or the Mediterranean. As with ports of call, onboard activities are boundless. Partake in workouts from yoga to tai chi. The more adventurous can challenge rock-climbing walls, parasail, or kayak. If your inner swashbuckler still is not satisfied, consider stowing your gear on a clipper ship that allows guests to take on crew duties.

How Do I Choose a Tour?

If you have decided to take a tour for your honeymoon, here are a few things to do:

• Decide on your destination: The Caribbean? Europe? Africa? Asia? USA?
• Decide on your budget.
• Consult a Travel Agent.
• Tours to most destinations come in Deluxe, First Class, Moderate, and Budget categories. The hotel is usually what dictates the category.
• Calculate the cost per day; Deduct two travel days, then divide by the remaining number of days on the ground by the price minus the airfare if airfare is included.
• Make sure that free time is included.
• Find out what time the tours start in the morning.
• Find out where the hotel is located. If it is far away from town, you will have to budget for extra taxi fares.
• Read the brochures to ensure that transfers to/from the airport are included.
• Make sure that your tour returns to the point of origin.
• Consider whether or not you have to fly to the point of origin from your hometown. These additional airfares can add a lot to the cost of your tour.
