Polling Time!

The internet can be a great thing. But it can also make decision-making really difficult. We've spent the past week or so combing Trip Advisor and American Express Vacations, and we're having some trouble. We had intended on going to Costa Rica... but then Justin came over and told us about Thailand. And then we went to a bridal show in Santa Barbara and a travel agent told us about Bali. So, we just CAN'T decide where we want to go on our honeymoon, so we are calling on you, our dear readers!!

Where should we spend our first 8-10 nights as husband and wife?

(p.s. sorry the pics aren't so great... click on their websites for better ones!)

1. The Bali Dream Villa, Bali, Indonesia
PERKS: 1 bedroom villa with a private pool, exclusive honeymoon package including candlelit dinners, couples massages, inexpensive room rates, activities and food, and a driver to take us anywhere on the island.
CONS: Long/expensive flight, not all-inclusive.

2. The Racha, Racha Island, Thailand
PERKS: 1 bedroom deluxe room, inexpensive, lots of activities (snokeling, diving, kayaking, etc), located on pristine beaches off the coast of Thailand.
CONS: Food is expensive, not all inclusive, long/expensive flight.

3. Paradisus Playa Conchal, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
PERKS: Lots of activities (zip line!), royal service treatment (private butler, etc), all inclusive, relatively short flight on business class (!).
CONS: Not that exotic, frankly Asia sounds like more fun.

4. JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa, Phuket, Thailand
PERKS: Awesome location, well-known company, yummy food, gorgeous resort.
CONS: Expensive for what you get, not ultra luxurious or all inclusive, long/expensive flight.

5. Anywhere on TripAdvisor that you think sounds like fun! If our picks don't float your boat, make a suggestion!

Have fun and vote!!!
