Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are getting married in October, and we’re hoping to plan about a 2-week honeymoon starting October 12th. We’d love your help with destination ideas and itineraries!
Details:
- Travel Dates: October 12, 2025 → about 2 weeks (flexible)
- Departure Airport: Seattle (SEA)
- Budget: $10–15k (flexible if worth it)
- Points: We have 100K+ Chase travel portal points to put toward flights/hotels
- Preferences:
- We know we’ll need a few days right after the wedding to fully relax and decompress (thinking beachy or all-inclusive resort).
- After that, we’d like to mix in some light adventure, sightseeing, and cultural exploring (but we’re not hikers).
- Regions in Mind: South America or Southern Caribbean — currently considering the ABC Islands and have also heard great things about St. Lucia.
- Other Notes: We’d like to work with a travel agent, so recommendations are welcome!
What we’re looking for help with:
- Destinations that balance both relaxation and exploration
- Resort or all-inclusive recs for the downtime portion
- Ideas for the more adventurous/cultural portion
- Sample itineraries or “best-of-both-worlds” combos
- Tips for using Chase points and whether a travel agent is the way to go
We’d love to make this a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime trip — any advice or recs are much appreciated!
