STEP 3 Research the area

Research the area to get an idea of places you want to visit, hotels you'd love to stay in, sightseeing excursions, and so on. If you plan to stay in more than one spot, figure out the ideal number of days to spend in each location.
调查一下该地区,决定造访哪些地方,入住哪家酒店,观光游览哪些景点等等 。如果你计划在超过一个景点逗留,确定在每个地方花费的时间 。
STEP 4 Cut costs
4.节约成本
Find ways to cut costs, like using frequent flyer miles for the airline tickets. Or think about opening a honeymoon registry, where loved ones can contribute to the cost of your trip or buy you honeymoon experiences, like dinner or a sightseeing outing at your destination.
寻找节约成本的方法,比如购买飞机票时使用飞行里程累积 。或者考虑开通蜜月登记,情侣们可以为节约旅行成本作出贡献,或者支付蜜月经历,比如晚餐或者蜜月目的地之外的观光项目 。
Consider using frequent flyer miles to upgrade to first or business class, especially if you’re facing a long flight. Or let the check-in clerk know, very politely, that you two are newlyweds.
