I got a front runner on St Lucia. Jade Mountain St Lucia - Caribbean's Most Romantic Luxury Resort and/or its sister resort ANSE CHASTANET RESORT St Lucia, Caribbean's romantic resort hideaway. Has anyone been to St Lucia or even better one of those resorts that can answer some questions?
holy shit that looks amazing.I went on a Mediterranean cruise for my honey moon. left from barcelona, hit up the west coast of italy.
airline tickets were $1,300 a piece round trip, 7 days in a balcony room on a Norwiegen Cruise Lines ship was $1,100 a piece. Whole thing for ~$7k after all extra expenses. Left on a saturday morning and arrived back at home the following sunday evening after the cruise. so not a whole lot of time was wasted traveling.
BUT if you're looking for a nice little place to stay for a week on a honeymoon i highly recommend Sorrento Italy, that place was badass... its near naples so you have all the touristy things like mount vesuvius (pompeii) or the island of capri is just off the mainland in that area.

island of capri (which is also pretty awesome, but you'd be less mobile - having to take the ferry to the mainland):
here's a map so you can get the idea of where these places are in relation to each other
P.S. the Mediterranean water is the bluest blue i have ever seen.... and i'm colorblind. truly amazing.

my wifes parents fronted all the wedding costs (save the rehearsal dinner of course).... i never got a bead on how much the total was, but i know our reception alone broke 15k because the option we selected from the place was like $50/plate and we had right around 300 guests (plus the DJ, and then the 4k for the videographer). I'd guess after it was all said and done the whole wedding ended up around 25k.
it was ridiculous.... i kinda got the feeling my mother-in-law was organizing the wedding she never had. we didn't mind though.
