Hi everyone,

I am looking for a nice resort, intimate location for a honeymoon from December 29-January 4th of this year. After 2 years of doing long-term subbing, my fiance landed a teaching position in a great school district nearby. So we had to push back our already booked and paid for honeymoon to Tahiti until the summer of 2009. But we'd like to plan a get-away in late December as this is his only time off as a teacher and we don't want to wait 7 or so months to go on our honeymoon next summer.

We are not happy about having to push back our honeymoon, and are having a tough time finding a resonably priced resort for Dec. 2008. We looked into Aruba and the airfare was just INSANE, like $1,600 per person just to get there. I found airfare to Nassau for $600 per person, which isn't TOO bad (considering the time of year and how late we're booking).

I've been trying to do a little reading up on the forum about where to stay but I've only further confused myself. It seems that its nicer to fly into Freeport or Nassau and stay on the little surrounding islands....but how do I choose which island to stay at? How do we get there from Nassau airport?

In helping us choose a place to stay...we'd like something nice, as it is our honeymoon, but we're certainly not expecting to stay at the four seasons. We'd like to get away from kids as much as possible but I know this is hard to do being that kids are out of school this time of year. We definitely would like to stay at a place thats on the beach, with a nice pool to cool off at the end of the day. Basically, we just want to get away, relax and unwind...lay on the beach with a beer and a cold drink and go out for a nice dinner at night. We'd like to do maybe one or two touristy things but not looking for any clubbing/ nightlife. Oh and we have no interest in doing the dolphin thing so thats of no importance to us. A spa day or two would be nice though!

Thanks in advance for your help!!
