Double0zero

Hello dear Bond fellows,

my honeymoon is approaching, Bahamas or Maldives seems to be the desired destination.

Would love to hear your ideas, recommendations to make sure i stay true to the bond lifestyle

dress code, food, hotels, fun activities, anything goes

So far I picked up
1- Sunspel's navy polo.
2- The Orlebar Brown Setter Sky shorts.
3- Colognes: Creed's Virgin Island Water (Daniel Craig's Favorite) & creed's imperial millesimal (Pierce Brosnan's favorite)
4- Sunglasses : Not sure yet

Looking for recommendations for things "to do" on honeymoon?

I think we should downgrade your double-0 status, Double0zero... Our man Bond would know EXACTLY what "to do" on honeymoon :v )

ok .. my reasons for posting it were to help you "associate" you locations with a particular film so then you could then maybe pick something to do from that film

Peppermill

I would add Tobacco and Vanilla by Tom Ford to the colognes for night time wearing.

Go lobstering and fishing and hire a local to take you nothing says romance like killing innocent sea critters
Also I highly recommend tom ford Markos I just got a pair and they are the best pair of sunglasses i have owned.
Just so you know some of the locals are not to fond of tourists. Last December I was in Bimini and the locals were not friendly and the service was terrible especially when trying to order a drink.

Pmaloy

If you go to the Bahamas then it has to be the Ocean Club...

Avoid open mountainside roads when driving off to your honeymoon and definitely don't say it with flowers!

Or to be really true to form add Tobacco by Moreland's of Grosvenor Street and dump the vanilla.

Bahamas or Caribbean would be more in keeping with Bond. There's plenty of things to do as well. There's not much to do in the Maldives - which was ideal for my honeymoon! Swim, bedroom, breakfast, swim, sun deck/bedroom, swim, lunch, bedroom, swim, sun deck/bedroom, bar, swim, bedroom, dinner/bar, bedroom.... Basically ten days of that. Perfect honeymoon!

Blackpool's nice this time of year. Think Cilla Black is playing the organ at the Gala Pleasure Palace.

Or you could try Clacton-on-sea where Bernie Clifton stars in 'Jogging with Ostriches'.

Ha! )
I used to go to Clacton every Summer for a karate course that lasted the full week.

The ultimate place to go would be to Jamaica and stay in Ian Fleming's house. I know someone who spent her honeymoon there.

We looked at Goldeneye before getting married and actually spent a similar amount on going to the Maldives. But the Maldives was all inclusive, which makes a vast difference. And the honeymoon is also about what you BOTH want. However, as a general rule, marriage brings on more expense ie kids, larger property, two cars, bigger cars - with kids, more of you going on holidays.... So you'll probably never spend as much on a holiday ever again! So if it's important to you to holiday like Bond, then go for it.
