What is one of the most memorable Vacations you can take?

. . . Your Honeymoon

One of my specialties as a Travel Agent is planning Honeymoons. However I have yet to discuss that as any of my blog entry's. For those of you who do not know me well, I have been in the wedding industry for the last 10 years from being a bridal consultant to owning a custom wedding stationery company.

When I look back at my wedding one of the biggest memories of them all was getting on that plane with my new husband, swimsuit packed and nothing planned all I knew was we were in need of some serious relaxation (after a wedding of over 400 guests).
Planning our honeymoon we did what most couples do is talk with friends and got referrals. From there the decision was made, SANDALS NEGRIL was the choice.

Now it is 9 years later, as a married couple we have traveled to so many destinations, but in the end we still talk about our honeymoon and that being the vacation that will always be on top of the list.

When it comes to planning your honeymoon remember a few things. . .

1. It will be your first Vacation as a married couple make it special.

2. It will be needed to relax from that pre-wedding stress.

3. It is a time for you two to really enjoy each other (alone).

4. It does not matter the destination it is just that you go!

5. It is never too early to start planning.

. . . My husband and I are planning to visit Sandals Negril for our 10 year!

I did it!

To continue on the Packing light, I just got back from Las Vegas for 4 Days and followed the packing in one bag article I earlier posted. For me it was thinking a bit different, and at a few times it drove me crazy not having a selection of clothing items to pick from.

As I started to pack for my departure, I would think back to what I read, so I began pick out outfits all revolving around black. This really helped for the fact if I would have pack brown then there would be the adding in of brown shoes and purse. Right there saves room!

The next new way of thinking was interchangeable outfits, and since I was not sure what we would be doing in the evening I selected pieces that were not too casual but not overly dressy so no matter where we had dinner I was comfortable. The thought I had was "I would rather be a bit over dressed that under". This worked well.

I also selected carefully jewelry that matched more than one outfit and asking myself do I really need a curling iron? In the end I was just fine with out it.

The biggest thing was purchasing a large black purse that I used for 3 purposes, a briefcase (for the conference I was attending), my purse and carry-on. For a woman that is a big deal.

In the end, I still had a few pieces that I did not wear, and now I know that I can do this again. It was also nice to avoid the checked in luggage fees.

If you are going to try this, please visit your airlines website for all carry-on luggage rules, they are very important.

How to Pack Light

Do you Start Every Vacation saying

"This time I am packing light"

Then all you think about are the Luggage fees you are going to have to pay at the airport?

Last Sunday I read an article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune

"31 Days- 1 Bag"

It really made sence. In all my travels I have never packed light, now I think I can.

I am leaving in a few days for Las Vegas, and I think this is the trip to try it.

Read the article and challenge yourself.
