Keep a bottle of water on hand and drink throughout the day.
If you wake up with puffy eyes, apply cold tea bags and rest for a few minutes.

Have a list of key phone numbers
Weather related items such as an umbrella, shawl or stol
Make sure your honeymoon bags have been packed in advance and are ready to go. Don’t forget your passport, tickets and money.
