Non-Tropical Honeymoon ideas??

My fiance and I live in south florida. We enjoy caribbean like weather year round with beautiful beaches, palm trees and stupid drinks with umbrellas in them. So we want something different! Yet VERY romantic. I'm originally from NYC so scratch that idea. And we're really don't want to have to travel 10 hours to go anywhere. We'll save that for another trip. Where, preferably in North America are amazing, VERY romantic, honeymoon spots that we can enjoy.





Also, and resources would be helpful too that we can research or contact.





Thanks!

Non-Tropical Honeymoon ideas??
Since Florida is flat, I would recommend either Colorado or the Southwest. Two places I really love are Sedona %26amp; Santa Fe. Yellowstone %26amp; Jackson Hole would also be nice. Also anywhere in California - wine country, San Francisco. There's also New Orleans...

Reply:Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, I know you said you did not want to travel that far but I dont know much about down south. I know when my brother comes up from Florida he ususally can get round trip tickets for $200 or so....a nice lake house can be inexpensive here in Maine. Check vrbo.com. Being from Maine I would rather head your way LOL. I think just any bb some where would be nice. Bethel, Belgrade lakes, Rangely lakes, Monmouth and Winthrop..just a few towns that have nice lake cottages in the woods. Any questions about any other places just email me.
Reply:There are lots of beautiful little towns in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina with lots of romantic cabins and things to do. It's one of the most gorgeous places in the country in my opinion. Do a search for Smoky Mountain vacations.

Reply:Cruise to Alaska
Reply:Charleston, SC is a very romantic city and not too far for you. Also, San Francisco. If you are going in the summer, coastal Maine is GORGEOUS and very relaxing.
Reply:Vegas Baby! Or Washington, DC for some culture. Or go on a ski trip Colorado, that is always romantic even if you aren't an experience skier.
Reply:Since you don't want to travel 10 hours you are limited to what is right around you which is more tropical like Florida. Now if you have the time and money and were to consider getting on a plane you would have a much wider choice of locations. I would go to the Napa Valley in California, it's gorgeous romantic and completely untropical.
Reply:Ive heard lake tahoe is a beatuful place for weddings. Its not tropical and known for wedding ceremonies. Look into it.
Reply:San Francisco, Mackinac Island, Mich., Lake Tahoe, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park or Mount Rushmore.
Reply:You should check out Martha's Vineyard. They have wonderful Honeymoon packages and lots of Bed %26amp; Breakfasts.
Reply:Consider Peru, which is where my husband and I are going. It's rich in culture and Macchu Picchu is amazing!

Reply:can you fly somewhere? if you can how about the grand canyon, zion ,bryce area





what about charleston, sc?
Reply:Grand Canyon, Northern California (Napa Valley Area), San Francisco, Crater Lake-Oregon or Lake Tahoe-NV.





Or how about the Grand Tetons in Wyoming? If your into hiking and things like that I would check out Lake tahoe, Crater Lake or Grand Tetons. You could even rent a car and travel from Grand Canyon to Lake tahoe.





Good Luck!!
Reply:The mountains. I went to school near the Blue Ridge Parkway and it was a popular destination for honeymooners. Up near Asheville--you could see Biltmore Estate, go to their fabulous winery, and enjoy the mountains. Lots of river rafting up there as well.





Also Charleston SC is a beautiful place. So is Savannah. Both very historic towns. Lots to see and do and lots of museums/history/architecture. However they are both coastal areas.





Within 5 hours--do you mean 5 hour drive? Cause I'm not sure you can even get from Miami to the top of Florida in 5 hours. However, I agree (if you are a tropical beach bum already, that) I'd like to do something completely different for my honeymoon. Consider traveling to someplace like Ireland or Scotland.





But within not too many hours, I definitely like the mountain areas of NC and Virgina. There are lots of bed and breakfasts that are very romantic. Many that you rent a separate guest cottages.
Reply:Well i think it depends on what you find romantic. You can take a trip to:





Grand Canyon, horeback riding and picnics while watching the sunset.....





San Francisco, see the sites, eat great food, stay in awesome hotels.





Napa Valley, wine tasting, tours of the champagne caves, visit spas and eat great food. There are some amazing B%26amp;B's along the russian river and silverado trail.
