Others know something more general like “We prefer a relaxing beach vacation!” or “We really wanna explore Italy!” oorrr “We must snorkel the Great Barrier Reef!”, you get the idea. It’s okay if you do or do not.
My goal for this part of the series is to describe ideal time of year for destinations throughout the world. Along with some highlights in those areas – I’ll use “keywords” that may be things you’ve been thinking for your honeymoon.

Hawaii:
Ideal time to travel: April to June and September – Mid December
The Hawaiian Islands remain warm year round and it will rain everyday somewhere between the islands – rainy season is considered November – March but I wouldn’t let that stop me!
Mexico:
Ideal time to travel: November thru end of April for weather because May thru November 1 is hurricane season; price wise September and October are your best bets! Hurricane season is why travel insurance is SO important.

Caribbean: Same as above; with the exception of the “ABC” islands: Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. They are considered far enough south that they are out of the hurricane belt.
Highlights: Turquoise water forever, seeing your toes when your waist deep, sunshine & rum punch, white powder sand, private villa, private pool, daytime cocktailing, snorkeling, scuba diving!, gorgeous rooms with a view, fresh seafood, fresh fruits, a happier lifestyle!
South America: Keep in mind you’re now below the Equator so the seasons are reversed.
