We spent most of our honeymoon (almost exactly 10 years ago!) on the coast of California. Let's see, if I could do it all over again ...
  • No "road trips". The best parts of our honeymoon were when we were plunked down in one place, enjoying life and each others' company. The more we moved around, the greater the potential for mix-ups. For instance ... My husband's crazy driving almost got us killed on the highway into Yosemite. Plus a highway we were supposed to take from Yosemite to Death Valley was still snowed in (in late May) preventing us from enjoying one part of our planned trip.
  • Stay in the fanciest places you can reasonably afford. You only honeymoon once, and you deserve it!
  • Make sure there are no problems with your camera before you go. On of ours had a light leak, destroying about half our photos. Luckily, we used two different cameras throughout our trips, so our photo memories were not completely destroyed.
  • Tell folks it's your honeymoon! We weren't trying to get upgrades on flights/in hotels/etc, but we often got complimentary champagne and such when folks found out we were just married!

I'll let you know if I think of anything else.
