Travel is my passion.  So, this month I let the top five reflect this by discovering (and hopefully one day exploring) elusive and exclusive honeymoon destinations.  Less frequented by newlyweds and a little less common, explore these possibilities:

1. Eco – Alandaluz, Ecuador

Off the grid and off the beaten path, you’ll find environmental luxury and exotic beaches.  Whale watching, quiet nights, and untouched beauty.

2. Big City – Barcelona, Spain

With this metropolis, you’ll get both a vibrant city and sweeping Mediterranean beaches.  The Catalan capital boasts old-world landmarks and modern achievements.

3. Luxe – Maldives

An atoll nation in the amazingly turquoise Indian Ocean, the Maldives will seclude and seduce you. Quick sea plane hops can whisk you away to several islands during your stay.

4. Adventure – Interlaken, Switzerland

High in the Swiss Alps, this quaint city is nestled in a deep glacial valley that produces unlimited outdoor adventures.  Justin HIGHLY suggests the paragliding.

5. Road Trip – HWY 1

At your leisure, you’ll be able to see one of our country’s most beautiful regions.  Set a languorous pace, or view the sunset in a new town each night.  I recommend Chinese take out on an unpopulated beach.
