Couples can find some interesting South Pacific and Asian destinations that maybe are a little bit off the beaten path. One of the places that comes up sometimes among travelers is a place called Palau, which is not very far from Guam. It's a great place for couples. There are a lot of Japanese who travel there because it's only three hours from Japan. It's not very well known among Americans, but Palau is a place where there's terrific diving. The Cook Islands are a favorite, I think, among some American travelers because the culture is so welcoming and it's so warm. Those are a couple of places in the South Pacific and Asia that you might want to consider, where you have not necessarily been in the past and are not necessarily on the beaten path.
