Planning your honeymoon is fun, but it is a large task. The current state of the economy may have many of you changing international travel plans to stay a little closer to home and save a few dollars. Well, lucky for you, Andrew Harper the ultimate authority on luxury travel, is sharing his list for US hotels with the best views. The top picks include the view of Diamond Head from Halekulani in Honolulu and the view of Central Park from The Carlyle in New York City.

I think I would be happy at either of these locations! Good luck planning and safe travels!

The first travel deal is to Italy.  Those thinking of honeymooning in Italy this year might want to take advantage of deals that include flights and hotels to cities such as Florence, Venice and Rome that start at $1089 (depends on what city you leave from).  Find this at European Destinations.com.

The second deal is for cruise honeymoons to the Bahamas from CruisesOnly.com.  They’ve got ocean view rooms for cruises this fall that start at $269 per person!  It’s only a 4 night cruise, but considering this deal is about 70% off list price, it’s a great way to save considering airlines are jacking up their costs.  (American Airlines is charging $15 for the FIRST bag now)  You can also find find 6-8 night cruises from $409 a person as well at CruisesOnly.com.

J. Crew is really making a push get into your wedding. So much so that they’re giving away a five-night stay in either hawaii, turks & caicos, the bahamas or the french west indies at an island resort. And because you can’t have a free trip on J.Crew without wearing any J.Crew, they’re also throwing in a beach-ready J.Crew wardrobe for two. Hurry, contest ends June 15th.

Today I saw the Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that American Airlines is running a sale on fares to the Caribbean, as much as 70% off normal prices.  I’ve noticed airfare has risen along longer routes considerably as the price of oil is out of control. (I’ve seen stats says it’s costing over $15,000 in fuel to fly across the country!)  Knowing every bit helps these days, finding travel deals for your honeymoon is nearly a must for most couples right now so finds like this are great.

Below is a screen shot of another deal to Cancun if you fly American Airlines and stay at one of the two Hyatt’s down there.  The prices are based on a 5 night stay, but $140 per person, per night isn’t that bad right now.  Check out American Airlines for these deals and others.

If you know of other travel deals, post them as comments to help others save on travel costs.

Travel and Leisure is getting ready to release their June edition, which is also their annual hotels issue.  And to kick things off, they’ve put together a list of 50 Hotel Deals all over the world.

While flying a bio-diesel fueled airplane may not be happening in the near future, there are ways to be ‘green’ with your honeymoon. Companies like Elevate Destinations offer trip packages to locations you may not think of when planning your honeymoon, like Africa, South and Central America or even India and New Zealand. While there you can be involved with philanthropic activities in the local region while still getting a great tan and enjoying beach time depending on location.

You can also look into resorts that are going green like the Hotel Eco Paraíso Xixim on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico that filters waste water to use in their gardens and solar panels to heat the water in their pools.

There’s even a site dedicated to Eco-Tourism.  They offer tips and ideas for traveling and destination choices.  Even MSN has a Green Travel site and Yahoo! has entire property dedicated to being ‘green’.

So when planning your honeymoon travel, if you’re interested in doing something a little ‘green’, finding ideas is getting easier and easier.  Enjoy!
