B EALL W EDDING SEASON IS UPON US AND SOON - TO - BE HONEYMOONERS ARE WEIGHING IN ON POSSIBLE TRAVEL OPTIONS . re-COVID, honeymoons could be practically anywhere your pocketbook and passport could imagine, but presently, the opportunities must be weighed against challenges. Perhaps the most positive outlook is the presence of mul- tiple destinations sometimes overlooked by travelers seeking the Caribbean or other exotic choices for their celebratory journey. For those looking more conservatively at stateside prospects, there are some fabulous ideas that offer lovely accommodations plus fantastic amenities. Consideration to multiple closer-to- home destinations could offer not only a memorable honey- moon, but also leave some money in your bank account.
