Skimping on your accommodations. 4.

" "I wish we'd spent just a little more and stayed in a deluxe room, probably the most common honeymoon lament we hear is. You'll be sorry if your accommodations are not special, even if you think you won't spend much time in your room. But not a honeymoon, maybe on other trips.
