As our wedding anniversary looms near... and this one will be our twelfth! It occurs to me that up until now, we have not taken a romantic vacation since our honeymoon. Shame on us!

With work commitments and growing kids. Extra bills that pop up and rob the cookie jar, time has just flown by without putting exotic vacation dreams into action.

I wonder if other married couples have traded in their fun times for a life of bills, mortgages and filling holiday days with chores around the house?

I am so excited today because we are about to change our stagnant situation and get back on the 'honeymoon' bandwagon. This will be our 2nd honeymoon and looking at the stats, we will not be spending anywhere near what they say honeymooners are spending these days!

Honeymooners are spending on average around $4,000 on that one trip. That is more than the average U.S. adult spends on a family or leisure vacation.

There are many options available that will provide, perhaps a cheaper way to achieve a dream-come-true trip. But, why would someone settle for just one trip, when they can have over 25+ per year for life, for the same amount of money?

There is a way for newlyweds, or anyone looking to travel for that matter, to have the trip of a lifetime, every year, over a lifetime!

Coastal Vacations Travel Club; a club with a 10 year track record, offers its members the opportunity to take 25+ free to almost free vacations per year, for life.

In fact, Coastal Vacations partners with over 30 different licensed and bonded travel providers, and in doing so, offers the lowest priced vacations anywhere.

These are full vacations. Unlimited week long condo stays in over 200 international locations, at 5 star hotels, resort and condos for less than $400 a week, with no time-share presentations, or ownership obligations.

There are hundreds of bonus vacations of 2 night-3 day stays at popular travel destinations around the world. And, they are offered at wholesale rates of up to 85% off retail prices.

Hotel, condo and resort rooms that usually rent for $300 per night can cost as low at $300 for a week's stay. And in most cases, members are just required to pay the daily room taxes of around $8 per night.

These vacations in the Coastal Travel package are to the top destinations the stats say that newlyweds are traveling to.

10 percent of newlyweds take cruises for their honeymoon.

37 percent of honeymoon trips are to domestic locations; 63 percent are foreign. With the leading destinations being Las Vegas, Hawaii, Jamaica, and the Bahamas.

40 percent of honeymooners will stay at a resort vs. 27 percent at a large hotel vs.10 percent at a small hotel.

Coastal Vacations Travel Club membership also provides unlimited cruises on Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruise lines. And, recently they have added some all-inclusive vacations that include alcoholic drinks as part of the package!

The Coastal Vacation Travel Package also includes 20 membership cards that entitle members to discounts on hotels, dining, car rentals, roadside assistance service, ski lift tickets, golf cart access, water park access, plus a whole lot more.

Coastal Vacations travel package is worth well over $15,000 travel industry cost, however, the package can be purchased for a one-time cost of $1,295, which is much less than one would pay for just one of the cruises offered in the package.

Coastal Vacations has allowed our family to change the way we spend our vacation time. These vacations are ours to go on, or to give as gifts. And we take pride in being able to give some of them aways to friends who are getting married! And, we can go on any one of them through the year, and for our lifetime!

There is a big smile on my face as I see 2nd, 3rd, 4th.... honeymoons at a savings of 85% on the horizon and in the very near future!

You know what else puts a huge smile on my face? The fact that the Coastal Vacation Travel Club also offers us a way to generate money to spend on our trips without taking away from our family time.

Now when we come home our vacations, our Coastal Vacation Travel Club membership business will have generated extra cash, and it will be waiting for us in our mailbox!

All I can think of is... what an awesome way for newlyweds to begin their life and future together!

A honeymoon investment that continues to give and give at savings of up to 85% off; for a lifetime. Plus an avenue for bringing in extra cash that can go towards the other nuptial bills you've incurred while creating the wedding of your dreams. Extra cash towards the downpayment on that new home you want to buy. For your kids clothes and education. Your future. Possibly early retirement! And, towards more and more honeymoon vacations! Now that's a headstart I wish I would have had, when I first got married!

Congratulations on your new lives together!
