  • Security Details
    Picture it: You arrive at the airport and sail straight through security without being frisked and wanded. It’s the stuff that travel dreams are made of—especially honeymoon dreams. With these steps you can fly through the security checkpoint with the greatest of ease. X-ray VisionEverything you carry or wear, from your coat to your shoes, must be placed on the security belt. This includes food, reading materials and electronics. Scarves, sweaters and travel wraps must also be scanned. (Remember bottles of water or any liquids are a strict no-no.) The only thing you are permitted to carry through the metal detector is your photo ID and boarding pass. Before you reach security, remove the plastic bag filled with your toiletries from your carry-on and place it in one bin with your bag. Place all your clothing, including shoes, in another. Dress for SuccessThe key to getting through security quickly is being properly prepared, says John E. DiScala founder of the Internet travel portal JohnnyJet.com and a frequent traveler who can get from curbside to gate in two minutes flat. “Before I leave for the airport,” he says, “I save steps by putting my wallet, keys, cellphone and, most importantly, my change in my jacket pocket, so that I know where everything is, because all of it will have to go into the bin.” DiScala suggests wearing slip-on shoes and socks. “Remember that you’ll have to take your shoes off, and do you really want to be walking on the airport floor in bare feet?” Keep accessories to a minimum, advises Anne L. Fritz, editor of The Jet Set Girls, a travel, beauty and fashion website. Nowadays it makes good sense to leave the belts, bracelets and other large metal jewelry at home, she says. “If you have a body piercing you may want to take that off ahead of time too, since it can send metal detectors into overdrive.” Pack RightBy now everyone should be familiar with the 3-1-1 rule, which states you must carry all liquids and gels in containers not exceeding three ounces and that the containers must be sealed in a one-quart plastic baggie (one per person). Place the plastic bag on the top of everything else in your carry-on luggage, advises DiScala, because easy access is key to sailing through the checkpoint. He also suggests bringing extra Ziploc bags in your carry-on in case you forgot to properly store any items. That’s the best way to avoid having the forgotten items confiscated. Use common sense when packing, and don’t try to carry on items like scissors, pocketknives and golf clubs. “You may want to leave those ‘love cuffs’ you got at the bachelorette party at home,” says Fritz. “The guys at security won’t think they’re so funny. You may be embarrassed when they take them out of your bag in front of everyone in line.” Also take note that any wrapped gifts you’re bringing home may be unwrapped by security. So save the bows and ribbons for later.If you’re bringing your laptop, take it out of its case and put it on the security belt, says Fritz. Before your trip, call your hotel to see if iPod docking stations and speakers are available. That’ll save you having to bring your own and trying to untangle a bunch of wires while standing at the security checkpoint. Lose the LuggageDiScala notes that because this is a special trip, you may just want to ship your baggage ahead of time. Since many airlines now charge $25 or more for checked bags, sending them via FedEx may not only save you money but time as well. And that’s the key to having a very happy honeymoon.Remember: Knowledge is power. A few days before your flight is scheduled to leave, check the TSA’s website, tsa.gov, to see if there have been any unexpected changes in regulations. Photography: Kenzie Shores Photography
  • Planet Honeymoon
    Here, a basic primer for newlyweds who want to know what’s new on the honeymoon scene.Adventure Travel Hiking, kayaking and canyoneering—oh my! According to the Adventure Travel Report, half of all American adults have taken an adventure trip in the last five years. Of those, nearly 32 million did some “hardcore” activities like scuba diving, whitewater rafting and mountain biking. Resorts are increasing their offerings to include adventure amenities, and a number of mountain resorts, like Snake River Lodge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Stoweflake Resort & Spa in Vermont, offer guided hikes. At many island resorts, including some on Maui, Bermuda and St. John, you can join cycling excursions, and all Sandals Resorts in the Caribbean offer free scuba diving. Ecotourism For environmental-minded honeymooners, it’s never been easier to find an earth-friendly—and luxe—destination. To be considered green, a resort should offer locally sourced cuisine, embrace indigenous culture and encourage outdoor recreation that highlights the region, while involving the community in the effort. Go to enn.com to search for “certified green” resorts. Educational Activities Thanks to a little invention called the Food Network, cooking classes have never been hotter. And from Thailand to Mexico, more and more honeymooners are opting to learn how to spice things up. Classes may range from lectures to food walking tours and weeklong instructional retreats. Not the next Top Chef? The two of you can choose an intensive language program, a yoga retreat or a surf camp—all these are making a big splash on today’s honeymoon scene. Honeymoon Registries Most couples opt for a traditional registry, but you may want to try a honeymoon registry instead. Created online, the lists function in the same way as other registries. You can ask for things like romantic dinners, car rentals and spa sessions; tabs indicate when something has been purchased. To create yours, go to honeyluna.com or check out Windstar Cruises (windstarcruises.com), one of the first to start the trend. Family Moon Not only are second weddings more common, but many of you (about 30 percent, according to our reader surveys) are coming to marriage with children and opting for a Family Moon vacation. These getaways most often take place at large resorts that offer something for everyone: children’s programs as well as private areas and activities for the newlyweds. Mini Moon Nowadays many couples have less time and dinero to spend on their honeymoon. Enter the Mini Moon, a quick two- to three-night getaway in an accessible locale. You can stay in a romantic inn or a glamorous big-city hotel—and have a great honeymoon minus the hassles of traveling. Stretch-Your-Dollar Destinations We all know that the dollar isn’t doing so well these days, but here’s our advice: Identify your dream destination, and then research comparable spots. If you
