It seems like it was just yesterday that you were saying I do and jetting off on your honeymoon. Now that was a vacation! But you don't need a big reason to take a trip. You and your husband are young, in love, and have lots of unfettered free time. This is the best time to get out of town, whether it's to celebrate your first anniversary on a secluded beach or just to check out the touristy sights upstate. Here are five destinations -- one for every budget -- that will inspire you to say I do all over again.

Belize is an ideal spot for a Caribbean vacation with a twist -- and a budget. Sure, you could spend every day just sitting on the beach, sipping tropical drinks and gazing at the ocean. But when you've had your fill of the sun and want to get moving, you don't have to go far. Belize is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world (perfect for diving and snorkeling), and has some of the finest Mayan ruins outside Mexico with only a fraction of the tourists. Visitors can also explore caves and waterfalls as well as hiking in several national parks.

Miami is hotter than ever. Ow! Hit South Beach for world-class dining, shopping, and clubbing spots that are all within walking (or stumbling) distance of each other. Remember to pack your sexiest clothing and get ready to sip plenty of mojitos, or just pretend to. Need a dose of culture? Explore the Design District and see some of the best examples of Art Deco architecture around, or try to visit Miami during one of its arts or food festivals, such as Art Basel Miami Beach, or the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. One word of caution: Avoid Miami during peak spring-break season. Even if you still long for your college days, you and your spouse don't want to get tangled in a fraternity outing.[Nest Note] Don't feel like dancing on a table next to Paris Hilton? The Sunshine Sate offers low-key locations like Sanibel Island or Amelia Island.

Is that the hoot of a barn owl? He's calling you to the Adirondacks for a refined but rugged back-to-nature getaway. The secluded and forested mountain region of upstate New York was once the playground of America's wealthiest families, including the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts. But you don't need an enormous bank account to enjoy the outdoors, just a sense of adventure. The Adirondacks offer year-round activities from canoeing and fishing to snowshoeing and ice climbing. If you're an adrenaline junkie, try white-water rafting down the Hudson River.[Nest Note] West Coast-based couples can be one with nature (and wine) in Napa Valley.

It's hard to think of a more romantic city than Paris. Whether you want to spend your days strolling hand in hand in the Tuileries or exploring the tangled streets of the Marais, just walking around the city will put in the mood for l'amour. It would take a lifetime to experience everything that Paris has to offer, but if you have only a few days, we suggest plenty of romantic dinners a deux, a visit to the Rodin Museum, and a kiss on top of the Eiffel Tower.[Nest Note] Can't afford a trip to Paris? Try a weekend in French-speaking Quebec. The cobblestone streets are packed with cafes and shops that are tres magnifique.
