Honeymoon in Madagascar

If you’re looking for a honeymoon destination that is a little out of the ordinary, you might want to consider an island hopping trip in Madagascar.   With spectacular scenery and wildlife to enjoy you might never want to return home!

Masoandro Lodge, Madagascar

The Andasibe-Mantadia National Park is a great place to start.  You can explore the rainforest (with a trained guide) to see the iconic lemur and rare species of reptiles and birds.  If you’re more adventurous, a visit during the night will reveal even more species to see.

The fascinating thing about Madagascar is that its landscape is so diverse.  You can travel through rainforest and desert in the same day and tourist numbers at some national parks can be very low because of the poor roads.  If you’re willing to try the off-road experience, you will see sights that very few other people reach.

A must-try is diving or snorkelling off one of Madagascar’s many islands.  Snorkellers can see turtles and brightly colored fish and coral while divers can explore shipwrecks and encounter many types of shark.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Wedding in South Carolina

On Sunday, Blake Lively and Ryan Renolds tied the knot in a small, hush hush, ceremony at the Boone Hall Plantation, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina.  So that leaves us wondering...why the Boone Hall Plantation?

“Ryan has always loved it here,” Kelly Gukanovich of Charleston radio station 95.1 FM told E!. “When he got together with Blake, he started to bring her here, too." 

With 320 years of history, Boone Hall is one of America’s oldest working, living plantations complete with picture-perfect Colonial Revival buildings, beautiful flower gardens, and a mile-long drive adorned with blooming oak.  In fact, the original owner of the plantation, Major John Boone, said that he wanted to be buried under those oak trees so that he could watch them grow for eternity.
