I never said that it was a bad question. Just that I did not understand her doubts on the expression.

Now that you mention a preposition demanded by salir

Salir de luna de miel - leave on a honeymoon.

Salir a su luna de miel - leave on/to their honeymoon.

Salir en su luna de miel - leave (while) in their honeymoon.
