Perfect honeymoons don't just happen. Finding out what your mate's expectations are and matching them with yours will make honeymoon planning easy.They have to be carefully planned. The more you do your honeymoon homework, the more romantic - and the more fun - your honeymoon will be.

Here are a few things to do to make your honeymoon turn out as you dreamed it:

• Don't leave anything to chance.
  
• Be as specific as you can when booking your trip.
• Get information on what there is to see and do in your destination before you go.
  

Don't unpack when you enter. Check to see that everything you want is there. Don't leave anything to chance. Ask the bellboy to wait as you check. If the room is not to your liking, go downstairs, explain that you're on your honeymoon, and change it.

What to look for:

• Is the bed the size you want?
• Is the bathroom clean?
• Do you have a view of the ocean?
• Do you have a "Do Not Disturb" sign?
• Does the TV work?
• Do the lights work?
• Is there a TV remote?
• How does the in-room safe work?
