Helping Couples Plan Their Dream Honeymoon

How to apply for a U.S. passport

The first time getting a passport may seem complicated. It can be hard to know where to begin. If you be traveling out of the Untied States for your honeymoon and you are a US citizen then you will need your passport. In this article it will help explain how to get your passport.

 How to apply for a passport?

To apply for a passport make sure you allow plenty of time. Turn around for a passport application can be up to six weeks. It is highly recommended that you start the process with at least two months before you plan to travel. Did you know that applying for a passport between September and February as there is the lowest volume of applications? If you don’t have six weeks to wait for your passport there is ways to expedite your process.

You can apply for a passport by mail or in person. When will you need to apply in person?

Below is a list of reasons you should apply in person:

§  This is your first time applying for a passport.

§  You have changed your name but do not have any legal documentation of the change you will need to apply in person.

§  You have lost your passport or it has been stolen.

 What  you will need to apply for a passport?

To apply for your first passport you will need to:

Fill out an application form called DS-11. You can get a DS-11 form from any passport agency. Provide proof of US citizenship. For proof of citizenship you will need either a certified birth certificate, a previous passport that you may have, and/or certificate of citizenship.

Provide proof of identity. Identity can be either of these options: previous passport, driver's license, government ID or military ID.

Provide two passport photos. A photo must be 2x2 inches, in color, just your full face, identical, taken within the past six months, and should be of your normal appearance.

Pay the fee.  The total fee is $97 for those over 16.

Provide your social security number.

For renewal applications, which can be mailed, you will need to:

§  Get the form DS-82, available online ( http://travel.state.gov/passport/forms/ds82/ds82_843.html )or can be picked up at a passport agency or a passport acceptance facility.

§  Be sure to include your recent passport.

§  Provide two passport photos of size 2x2

§  Passport renewals will be $67.

If you have changed your name you also need to include legal documentation for your name change and fill out form DS-19.

  

Wanting to rush (expedite) a passport application?

If you are traveling within six weeks, there are ways to ensure you get your passport on time. If you apply by normal methods, but mark your application "EXPEDITED" and pay an extra fee of $60, then the passport office will return it within two weeks. If this still isn't enough time, or you want to make sure that you have applied correctly, you can use a third party passport service. The US Passport Bureau can issue a passport in less than four days. You can apply online or by telephone at (572) 331-8290. Another option is Travisa (http://www.travisa.com/) issues passports and visas when you need them in a hurry. They can even rush through a passport application on the same day. Needless to say, you will pay more for these services.

Where to apply for a passport?

There are several places to apply for a passport with 13 passport agencies and more than 7,000 application acceptance facilities across the US. You can search online for your closest facility on the Department of State‘s website @ http://iafdb.travel.state.gov/.

If you choose to apply by mail, send your forms to the National Passport Center, P.O. Box 371971, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7971.

Waterfalls on the island of Kauai are some of the world's best. Below is just a few of the best waterfalls on Kauai, most of which you can actually see without a tour or helicopter .

And nothing can surpass the experience of a helicopter flight into Wai`ale`ale Crater and viewing its "weeping wall." The sight is breathtaking - you can't even count all the waterfalls.

Bora Bora offers a number of great activities for you and your lover on your honeymoon trip. Visitors to the island are invited to get out and enjoy the beautiful landscape and explore the depths of its rich waters. Bora Bora offers visitors a chance to scuba dive or snorkel underwater and get a close look at the many different fishes of the area. There is also a rich coral area near Bora Bora, and this is something you won’t want to miss.
Other outdoor activities include hiking, going on a safari, diving, shark feeding, sailing, jetskiing, or taking a romantic sunset cruise. The landscape of Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful aspects of the island, and any one of these activities is sure to give you a taste of what Bora Bora has to offer. Lovers often enjoy taking a sunset cruise in order to relax and admire the beauty of this great island. In the mornings, you can also enjoy a relaxing breakfast by canoe and take in the scenery while you dine. You can also arrange to have breakfast brought to you in your rooms, so you can enjoy the view from your balcony and feast on fresh fruits, pastries, juices, and more. This is a great way to relax and enjoy some of the best fresh foods from the island of Bora Bora.

Planning Your Trip – What You Need To Know About Bora Bora
When planning your trip to Bora Bora, be sure to check with local hotels and resorts to see if they offer any special honeymoon packages. These may defray the costs of the trip and may be available during different parts of the year. Call ahead before booking your trip and ask lots of questions so you get the best deal possible. Typically the months of May through October are best for travel to Bora Bora because it is the dry season in this area at that time of year. Most travelers do not want to spend their vacation in Bora Bora during the rainy season because it can be unpleasant. However, throughout May through October, the weather is generally very pleasant and this is a great time to plan your trip.
How Much Will It Cost?
The cost of your trip will vary depending on how long you wish to stay, where you wish to stay, and whether or not you book through a travel agency. Often, travel agencies can give you the best deal on a package that includes airfare and your hotel. Most week-long trips, including airfare and hotel, cost around $2000 to $3000 per person. However, you may pay less or more depending on which hotel you choose and the length of time you wish to stay in Bora Bora.
Don’t Forget…
Always plan ahead. This will save you a lot of money in the long run and will help you avoid any problems with booking reservations or airfare. Also, remember the seasons of Bora Bora. May through October is considered the best time to visit the island. Be sure that you have a valid passport and any other documents you may need for your trip as well. And, most importantly, have fun! Bora Bora is a great island for honeymoon vacations, and it has a lot to offer to all of its visitors. Shop around, explore the landscape, and spend valuable time with your loved one. Book your trip to Bora Bora and go out and enjoy yourself!

Top Reasons To Have A Beach Wedding

For the ultimate stress free wedding why not get married on the beach? Imagine celebrating your special day on palm-lined emerald shores and the colorful island paradise. Indelibly glamorous, surprisingly affordable, and more effortless from start to finish than many couples even dream. Save on money, the traditional weddings can cost several times more then the amount of a beach wedding. While at your resort you also have hair stylists, musicians, photographers and more all at the place you are staying. Special touches are also available such as tropical flower-draped wooden arches, delicate floating candle centerpieces, fluttering white tablecloths, and even the releasing of butterflies set the stage for your special day.  Do something different than that typical wedding, have that unique experience that you remember forever. Have the best of both worlds by having your wedding and honeymoon all in one spot. Bring the whole family or  just make it just the two of you. Your travel specialist will work directly with the resort's wedding coordinator so you don't have to worry about cake, flowers, photographer, food, invitations, etc. with beach weddings you can get a package where all of it is included.  With many onsite activities at resorts and off-site fun there will be so much to see and do together. Traditional weddings can last up to 5 hours and  at the beach fun can go on much longer. Destination weddings make it easy where ever you want from Bora Bora,  Hawaii, Caribbean and Mexico make it easy to say "I do" on the beach.
