Whatever honeymoon destination you choose, here are a few pointers to maximize the fun and minimize the hassle.

Make sure to pack your passports. If you will be leaving the country, you need to have your passport and any other necessary travel documents. This also applies if you plan on visiting an island which may be in a different country (for example, traveling from the U.S. Virgin Islands to the nearby British Virgin Islands requires a passport).

Change your money. If necessary, change out your money for local currency at the airport, your resort, or a nearby bank. If you use credit cards, you won't need to do this; but it is always nice to have some cash for places that don't accept credit cards (like roadside markets or craft vendors).

Don't over plan. Adventurous couples may be tempted to schedule more activities and excursions than they may have time for. Always remember - even if you like to be on the go, a honeymoon is supposed to be relaxing. You don't want your vacation to be as harried and frantic as your wedding.

Since your life together as a couple will be one giant ongoing adventure, why not start off your nuptial bliss with an adventurous honeymoon? Happy travels!
