I don't know about you, but it's about that time of the year when I start daydreaming about traveling to new and exotic places. Warm places preferably, but temperature isn't everything -- I just love traveling in general!
In my opinion, one of the most amazing parts of getting married is the honeymoon. Umm, a sexy getaway with just the two happy newlyweds? Amazing! Of course, there are some honeymoon places that are a little more common than others... and while I love Hawaii as much as the next girl, a honeymoon factory isn't particularly my cup of tea. If it's not yours either, then you'll love these 7 unique honeymoon destinations that I'm obsessed with right now!
