Thinking of destinations for a honeymoon, Sept 2017...
Any suggestions? Companies to use?
Ideally would like to go somewhere it's unlikely we will go again, without paying 4/5k each as some people have!! However as September, South America seems to be ruled out. Went Mexico one Sept, and it rained 11 of the 14 days!!!

Was October and no rain.
The missus loved the postcard I sent her.
I would suggest Spain or south of France.
Probably not North Africa unless you can check to ensure you aren't there in ramadan.
Further afield, in Thailand you could consider ko Tao and you should be early enough to avoid monsoon.
Early September should be good.
Pacific islands I'd suggest avoiding the main Fiji island as when I was there around that time the clouds and rain congregated over the mountain and then the resorts. Small islands around though were superb. May be a bit cold in September, depends if you plan for the start or the end.
I would spend a few days in Dubai on the way back, great for shopping and all the new theme parks are amazing.
Rather nice.

Loved every minute of it! Definitely meets the criteria of somewhere I'm unlikely to go again (but perhaps not the budget you mentioned!)
If you go for Hawai'i head to the island of Kauai - The Garden Island. Prettiest of the lot and far less commercialised than Big Island which is similar to Benidorm!
It wasn't cheap but the weather was fantastic, lots to see and do and it was truly unforgettable
Further afield - Hawaii. Maui a beautiful romantic place. Oahu (Honolulu +) a bit livelier but lovely.
White sand - hot sun and the Jungle as a back stop, honeymoon paradise.
For a bit of culture you could stop over at Georgetown on the island of Penang.
On the way back visit Singapore.
Absolutely magical - where did it all go wrong? (joke - I love her as much if not more now).
It is a bit cheaper than other carribean destinations - beautiful beaches - There is a place we have gone for the last couple of years where you get a deal with Ice Lolly, then pay at the resort to upgrade to V.I.P. Always look for a resort with V.I.P. option - it is fantastic. This basically gives you a massive pool with swim up bar virtually to yourself, decent room with good a/c, fridge that is re-stocked daily, and access to a V.I.P pub serving branded drinks as well as all the other facilities.
Internet is rubbish - you can buy cards quite cheaply for an hours acces,. I listened to us getting beat at Bury there on Player. so you don't lose track but you can relax a bit too doing what you might want to do on honeymoon. I jumped in teh pool after teh Bury defeat and had a nice cold beer in my extra large Bubba cup!
Another good thing about Cuba is that you change your money in the hotel - the government sets the rate so it is the same wherever. This means you take English money and change as you need!
