I love the honeymoon bag! Pretty colors (and just enough of a hint for goodies!).My question is, what are the best items to take for a honeymoon that includes adventures travel (hiking, tubing, zip-lining, etc.), beach, AND going out? We're headed to Belize and I don't want to overpack, so I'm searching for versatile items that I can wash in the sink and re-use for a variety of occasions. ANSWER: Well aside from my beauty and romantic packing suggestions on beautygram.com (see http://www.beautygram.com/ed_picks.php).
As far as easy-to-wear/easy to wash active clothing—go for stretchable fabrics which bounce right back into place when you take them out of the suitcase or wash them. Lycra works for active day time looks and jersey knit works for evening looks.

Hi! We are going to Greece for our honeymoon. My question is, what are the absolute essentials for a trip to Athens and the Islands.
ANSWER: Have a fabulous time there! I would pack breezy water-colored fabrics. Also, versatile pieces like a shall that could be worn with your swimsuit during the day and at night for cocktails. I would splurge on a Mediterranean scent to wear while you’re there—that way every time you where it back home it will remind you of your honeymoon—I consider this an essential! A strappy low heel sandal and one with a heel or wedge would work wonderfully there—this might be the only footwear you’ll need there. A straw hat would definitely complete any outfit along with some chunky, colorful bracelets—go for silver (or gun metal), tiffany blue and white.

Love the bag! My question for Maritza is: Do you recommend that, when booking hotel rooms, we say it is for our honeymoon? On the one hand, it may help us get perks and a nicer suite; on the other hand they may charge more. For our honeymoon we are planning a safari in Tanzania & then relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar!
ANSWER: Thank you and YES indeed. They shouldn’t charge you more…I’ve never heard of such a thing. Sounds exotic…have fun!!

love the bag! we're going to germany for our honeymoon in december. any ideas for being able to do fun stuff without breaking the bank w/ the euro/dollar exchange rate would be much appreciated! thanks!
ANSWER: Don’t know much about the euro/dollar exchange (try http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html). I would research local hotpots in Germany near the areas you’ll be visiting ahead of time. Try Bavarian Three Star Castles, German Manor Houses and typical Inns for romantic stays. Hard to recommend specific sites since I don’t know where in Germany you will be.

I think I have packing down... Do you have any stories or suggestions of simple and creative ways I could surprise my new husband with fun additions to the honeymoon? Example: Nalgene filled with wine on an overnight kayaking trip. Or buying a mini-sized game and packing it along...I hope my honeymoon would be to a quaint costal town in the Greece Islands with access to beaches and kayaking.
ANSWER: A quaint costal town in Greece sounds perfect! Packing a game would be fun (How about ‘101 Nights of Great Sex’ board game?). The perfect romantic surprise would be a couple’s massage.

LOVE the bag! It is practical, tasteful, yet fun and adorable!For our honeymoon (which is less than 3 weeks away!) we are going to Peter Island in the BVI. It is supposed to be very secluded and relaxing, what we envision our dream honeymoon to be. My question is - after a week at the beach, how do you get all of the sandy, damp clothes home without ruining them or your suitcase? I'm not interested in doing laundry on the most romantic trip of my life but I'm already dreading unpacking our sandy, salty bathing suits when we get home.
ANSWER: Thank you for your wonderful comments. Take plastic bags to fit these types of used clothing. Rinsing your beach items at the end of each day really helps—you don’t have to wash…you can rinse.

This bag is super-cute, and I love the color! My question is: Do you have any tips for packing for various weather conditions? We are planning to go to Sonoma, California in April, so I expect it to be warm during the days and much cooler at night. I don't want to overpack, and I can only think of active-wear clothing that is good for layering, so if you have tips on good casual and dressy layering pieces, it would be greatly appreciated.
ANSWER: Thank you! The number one tip for packing for various weather conditions is layering!! Oh my Sonoma—excellent…you will LOVE it! Word of caution…Sonoma/Napa/Tiberon is much hotter in temperature than San Francisco in case you are planning to cross the bay…which is a must BTW!! Pack a good dark jean, a dress that could be worn with a cardigan at night and leggings are always good for multi-use! Tights also work really well for the ultimate ‘San Francisco look’.

The honeymoon bag is darling! What a neat place to keep all of your honeymoon planning materials - and then it can come along with you! My fiance and I are planning our honeymoon, which will be in mid September of 2009. We have not firmly decided on a location yet, but we're leaning toward the Caribbean. Neither of us have been to a truly tropical place, and would love to sink our married toes in to some warm Caribbean sand! My question: Any advice for newlyweds who want to travel the Caribbean during hurricane season? Are there certain places that rarely are a threat? We'd hate to get rained out or swept away! ANSWER: Thank for loving my product, the Honeymoon Bag. I would stay clear from locales in a hurricane’s wake! You don’t want to be worried about your trip being cancelled or significantly delayed because of a Hurricane— they can be very unpredictable. Mexico or Hawaii might be safer bets…not sure as you can’t predict Mother Nature. Good luck and safety first!

I love the color and versatility! My fiance and I are trying to go to the west coast to tour wine country - we haven't decided exactly where to go yet. Our dream honeymoon - wine country in Italy: ) My question: I worry SO much when traveling. How can I assure that I stay organized, calm, and happy?
ANSWER: This is your honeymoon- relax and focus on each other. Don’t waste valuable + PRECIOUS time being worried. Travel within the United States is easier/smoother anyway. Wine Country- great pick! You’ll feel like you’re in Italy a bit too. (Wine will also serve to relax you. ;-)

My question: Where am I going on my honeymoon?I have no idea where we're going, as my Limey has decided that it will be a surprise. A dream HM would be to the Maldives, but I think we're staying closer to home!A related question: How do you pack when you don't know where you're going?
ANSWER: A surprise…how romantic! Take the essentials: lingerie (lots of it), a bathing suit (good for indoor and outdoor use), a travel bag for day/beach trips (The Honeymoon Bag is good for that BTW), sandals and a closed toe shoe also work well. Ask the hubby-to-be for a guide—is it a sunny/warm destination or chilly/cool romantic spot. Regardless of where you’ll be going…have fun packing accessories like earrings, bracelets and beauty products—they jazz up outfits regardless of the weather outside!

Oooh, super cute! My question is...what is the top way to save money when booking or while on the honeymoon. We're planning to go all-inclusive (Cancun area, perhaps? next July) in order to know before-hand how much we'll be spending. We are also using a friend-of-the-family travel agent to try to get great deals. Any other suggestions?
ANSWER: Super Thank you!! Booking trips, excursions and honeymoon registry: http://www.moonrings.com/. While on the honeymoon: don’t worry about souvenirs. An all-inclusive will save you money on food—so that’s the way to go if you are on a very strict budget. Good luck!

My question is... how to pack for winter weather? I live in Florida but we are going to Tahoe! Love the bag!My dream honeymoon would be Europe/Italy.
ANSWER: Thank you. Pack a cute/fashionable winter/ski bomb jacket with detachable sleeves. This type of coat is very versatile. Pack a scarf, and gloves too. How romantic…don’t forget to sip hot chocolate by the fire place.

Love the bag!We're planning a honeymoon road trip from Minnesota (where I grew up) back to San Francisco (where we live). We chose this plan in part because we can bring our dog if we plan ahead. My question is: Is it a horrible idea to bring the pooch? Any tips for travelers with pups?Dream HM: Paris, s'il vous plait.
ANSWER: Cute idea…love San Francisco. Yes, take the pooch…he’s obviously an important part of your lives. Take lots of toys to entertain him while on the road. A collapsible bowl for water is key and a blanket from home—he will recognize the smell and won’t panic.

I absolutely love this bag! How perfect, special and cute! My fiance and I can't decide on beach or Europe. Both are so different, but seem equally romantic. I think my ideal wedding would be on the beach in Hawaii. My question about honeymooning is are there advantages to waiting a few months to honeymoon or is it better to go directly after the wedding? Thank you!
ANSWER: I always vote for a mini-moon if you can’t do a full blown honeymoon right away. The two of you need to escape privately—get away even if it is in the States or for only a couple of days.

My question - what's the best way to start research for a local honeymoon with cooking classes?Ideally I'd go to Japan and study cooking there - I love to travel, but I want to also learn new things while I'm doing so.
ANSWER: I think Mexico has some good ones as a matter of fact. Try searching Mexico first. Also, visit http://www.moonrings.com/ for this special honeymoon request. They might have vast knowledge on the subject. Wine Country USA might also be a good choice!!!!!!!!
