HONEYMOONS H O N E Y M O O N L O C AT I O N : PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BEACH ADVENTURERS Sara and Jason W here do you go when you want to combine lounging on the beach with thrill-seeking activities and culinary exploration? For this Fargo, North Dakota couple, seeing their travel advisor’s photos from her trip to Punta Cana sealed their honeymoon decision. They’d also heard from friends about the fantastic deals on all-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic. Their instincts were right; Sara and Jason had a blast. The adventurous duo went parasailing for the first time, took catamaran cruises, dined at many restaurants and enjoyed an hour-long sunset session with a professional photographer. “The beauty of the resort itself was breathtaking. It was very lush and tropical and we loved seeing the birds and iguanas in their natural habitat,” Sara said. In true romantic mode though, taking walks on the “sugar sand” beach was their favorite part. PLANNING ADVICE We chose to do a HoneyFund in place of a gift registry, and our friends and family generously donated for our honeymoon. It was a wonderful option, as it allowed us to take the trip of our dreams!
