When you’re booking your honeymoon, you will have to choose among many options. You can have a romantic get away, just the two of you, on some exotic island. Or you can spend your holiday at sea on a cruise. This is up to you. Regardless of what you choose to do, you should be smart about your vacation planning, just as you would any other trip. Here are some tips to keep you on track (and within your budget).

- Be sure you understand what is included in the price. With things as big as airline tickets, you may be mislead by a super cheap price. Be sure that the total you are seeing includes tax, or what you think you were going to pay could so much as double.

- Calling a hotel directly, rather than booking online or through an agent, can result in some great savings. They will be aware of all the latest discounts and promotions, that may have not yet made it to the internet. Take advantage of all the savings you can get, and ask them whats new.

- If your priority is to participate in activities and eat at restaurants, then stay at a cheap hotel: odds are you won’t be there much of your trip anyway.
