It's a drive from scottsdale.  Pretty cool.  you could hike around for a little while I guess.  Unless you go on a tour.

Spend a day/night in Sedona.  
What's in Sedona?

great scenery, romantic.  google it.

Hike Camel back mountain or Squaw Peak if it's not too hot.

I don't know that you guys have put a lot of thought into this.   :confused:

Honeymoon destinations should be picked for the following reasons (in descending order):

1. Places that encourage sex -- for your sanity.
2. Exoticness -- for eliteness.
3. Places you actually want to visit -- for your enjoyment.
4. Budget considerations -- for your wallet.

If you're locked in on this Arizona idea, lock yourselves in your room and only emerge for things like dinner and massages.  Only try to cram in a bunch of activities if they're worth doing in the first place.  In other words, Grand Canyon = worthwhile day trip.  Window shopping at Beverly Hills = tremendous waste of valuable sexin' time.

Just an imo.  :dunno:

shazbot!. this whole thread just pisses me off. god damnit. tell me how much you guys can spend. whether or not you already have airline tickets. the exact dates of the honeymoon and where you need to fly out of and just get the shazbot! out of the way.  :curse:

Yeah, I dunno.  Was trying to put a band-aid on this thing, but it may require a full amputation.   :dunno:
1. Duh, Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)
2. Any place west of Kansas is exotic to me
3. Want to visit lots of places
4. Budget-about 750-1000 once we get to AZ

Airline tix out of wichita to and from AZ are from her parents. Definitely going to Grand Canyon, the LA/San Diego thing is an idea and will most likely be decided after we've been there for a few days. Thanks for your overwhelming concern, now go check your blood pressure.

you can not be serious about this whole thing. if i was a mod, i would ip check you.

you are seriously going to fly to arizona (cause her parents are paying for it), stay at a free place (whos place?), and decide what you will do only after you've been there for a few days?....... you'll then somehow get a car, pay for gas, spend hours driving to grand canyon and then 90210, and then what???? pay for the car, the gas, and the hotel in 90210 all cause you've got a free condo to stay in scottsdale for a few days beforehand? i need more details. i am only trying to help here. you are being ridiculous.

Free place is from her dad's boss.  He has a condo in Scottsdale for all of his most elite employees to vacation at, and offered it to us.  It was either this condo in AZ or nowhere, cuz we can't afford 7 nights in a hotel and still get to do anything cool. Said condo comes with an SUV with GPS. Grand Canyon will be a day trip a couple days after we get to Scottsdale. For the trip to LA, was just thinking of leaving early some morning and getting there early afternoon to hang at a beach, then go to a hotel that night, I will have a room reserved for this purpose, and hang out around LA the next day and maybe stay another.  I understand it's a stretch, but hanging out around Phoenix doesn't seem like a honeymoon.  Not exotic enough-see #2 of wrff list. I appreciate the help, really I do, but I have thought about it a little.
All we will pay for is, food, entertainment, and gas to wherever we go, and 1 or 2 nights in a hotel

Also, don't go to Tucson, you will probably be tempted, don't do it.  You'll get sucked into going to the Biosphere which in turn you will regret for the rest of your life.

Sedona is definitely a good stop.  Here's me last June.

We drove through Tucson en route from PHX to SD.  Was not tempted to stop.

Looks like there's more to do around Phoenix than shop and stuff, this is more promising.

let's warm this thread back up.

time- would like to go 7-10 days at the end of november/early december,
location - central america/caribbean. would like to spend it at an all-inclusive resort with the ability to get out and explore a little bit.
amenities - scuba duving availability preferred but not required.
budget - not looking for cheapest options possible, but nothing crazy

i have a significant amount of delta and hilton points, but doesn't necessarily need to be on either.

ok, now plan my honeymoon and get back to me. tia.

Sandals is one of the few all-ins that includes scuba.  I'm sure there are others that do it for an additional fee.  I am doing Sandals Ochi in April and could report back.  If booking on their site, ignore that countdown bullshit for whatever "sale" they are offering.  They offer that 24/7/365.

Also, Ron recommends Desire Cancun if you and your lady are on the adventurous side.

If the scuba diving is a top priority I am not sure Punta Cana is the best choice as it doesn't have the crystal clear water like Cozumel, Bahamas, Virgin Islands etc.  If you just want to get certified it would be fine tho.
