Your Perfect Honeymooon...

... Find your perfect match!


Honeymoon planner and RIWG member Ann Petronio (owner of Annie's Escapes Custom Travel Planning) has recently launched a new feature on her web site to help couples find the perfect honeymoon destination. Her online Honeymoon Match quiz is quick, it's fun, and it just might come up with some suggestions you hadn't considered. Of course, nothing compares to a real in-person consultation with a travel professional, but the quiz is a good starting point. Try it out, and then contact Ann to schedule a meeting to talk about your perfect honeymoon escape.
