Wanna get away?

I can think of no better time to dream of a tropical getaway than in the middle of yet another January snowstorm. The snow is just pouring down but our thoughts are on planning the honeymoon.

When Mr. P asked what sort of trip I wanted to take, my only requirement was "warm and beachy." After the stress and exhaustion of planning and hosting a wedding, I don't think we'll be game for anything more strenuous than reaching for margaritas and guacamole.

Warm and beachy is a good place to start. Our ideal destination wouldn't take more than 6 hours to reach and the airfare shouldn't eat into the room and board budget too much. Ideally... There are a handful of destinations below for which we may be willing to bend the rules a bit. Without further delay, I present the "Could you be our honeymoon?" contestants:
