Looking for advice on how to get a nice (prepackaged?) honeymoon plan. Most likely will be some time in June. Prefer France and/or Italy. 10 days or thereabouts.

We had our honeymoon in France as well. Good choice. Albeit, we were away for 3 weeks. Rented a car and drove South to see some of the castles of Loire Valley, further south to Bordeaux, over to the West coast and a week in La Rochelle, up to Versailles, Lemans and then back to Paris.

I assume the honeymoon is for you.   If that's case, congrats.   I planned our honeymoon in NFLD myself.  It's a good bit of work but very customized.

If you are looking for a honeymoon and are considering Italy, I couldn't recommend the Amalfi Coast or Lake Como region enough.  I spent a month in Italy back in May and it was an incredible place to visit.  I honestly couldn't imagine a more romantic place than the Amalfi Coast or Lake Como and I would definitely consider both ultimate honeymoon location spots.  I've got lots of pics so if you need reassurance, just let me know.   ;D

My only advice is to book FAST.  The best places/ best hotels/ best deals seem to go fast (well, at least the ones I was looking at.  I haven't travelled a whole lot though.  I've been travelling more in the last few years.  I now book several months ahead, even a year.

Been to Italy, you can't go wrong with Italy.  Have not been to Amalfi Coast but have also heard what CanuckG35 said about it.

Here's a thought for a veeery relaxing type of travel:  european river cruising.  Pricey, but I highly recommend it for a special occasion.  I totally hate having to do any work/research for vacation, I'm a workaholic until the last minute, and I just want to board a plane and have everything done for me.  So the "pack/unpack-only-once-and-have-everything-planned-for-you-but-you-still-can-decide-what-you-want-to-do-every-day-yourself" kind-of-trip that the river cruises offered was perfect for me (and fortunately hubby too).  But that's just me.  If you and your fiance might like that kind of stuff, I highly recommend Uniworld Cruises.  Top notch.

EDITED: Typos, bad grammar.

We did a week of our honeymoon at Octoberfest in Munich, camping.   I wouldn't recommend it.  We both commented very early into the trip that we should have done this one when we were single. ;)

Thanks for the suggestions all. Unfortunately I don't think anything nautical is in the cards (we went on a cruise last year, and she got seasick for a bit...), but I have seen some Almafi Coast stuff and that does sound quite enticing....still hunting.

Looks like it will be Italy, but its still early. Just really hard to find a vacation place that you can really trust...

Well I do remember, and so does my wife, late one night a young lady (?) crawled into our tent.  She was no doubt even more inebriated more than us. 
She didn't stay to long. :(
