Heighten your Relationship With a Romantic Valentine’s Day Vacation

Celebrate your relationship by planning a private getaway. Escape from the monotony of mundane schedules and do something special with the one you love. This valentine’s day, select a romantic locale where the two of you can spend quality time together. Plan a romantic arrival. Arrange ahead to have flowers, wine, or champagne waiting for you in the hotel room. Remain in this location for several days. Refuse to rush anywhere. Savor your time, making every moment count.

Although it is not necessary to travel to the ends of the earth in order to discover a location where the two of you can have a time of intimacy, many feel that escaping to a far-away country or distant land adds a degree of excitement to the romance. In addition, there are certain cities and locales that seem to have an inherent, amorous quality.

Examples of romantic travel destinations include:

Salzburg, Austria – Recognized for its striking baroque architecture, Salzburg is a city of music and romance. In the 1700’s it was home to the legendary Mozart. Later it became the shooting location for the film “The Sound of Music.” Its beautiful churches, monasteries, and castles combined with its picturesque alpine setting, make this a charming backdrop for a romantic rendezvous. Hold hands as you visit scenic locations and spend time snuggling indoors while the snow falls outside.

Paris, France – An ideal spot for romantic travel. Its famous pastries, crepes, coffee, and wines, will be a definite delight to your senses. Its old monuments, buildings, and charming bridges are wonderful reasons for exploration and romantic walks. Take a leisurely trip to the Louvre museum. Kiss one another atop the Eifel Tower. Sip hot coffee. Visit Place de Furstemberg. Take long, warm baths. Order breakfast in bed. Indulge in candlelit dinners. Toast your love.

Riviera Maya, Caribbean – For those preferring to visit a warmer and more tropical valentine’s day destination, this may be the perfect place. The Riviera Maya is located on a 75-mile stretch on the coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Here you can enjoy unspoiled beaches and translucent blue seas. Dance the night away and arrange to sleep-in the following morning. Sample sweet tropical drinks and walk arm in arm down the beach, writing occasional love letters to each other in the soft sand.

Savannah, Georgia – The bed and breakfasts lining the riverfront in Savannah’s historic district are among the most charming locations on the planet. Walk the cobblestones lining River Street, enjoying art galleries, candy shoppes, and quaint gift stores. Take a romantic carriage ride. Try a trolley tour. Explore Savannah’s antique district. Have dinner at one of the city’s many eclectic restaurants, experiencing such delicacies as lobster bisque and sweet pecan pie. While falling in love with Savannah’s old-world southern hospitality, simultaneously rekindle the romance with the one that you love.

Regardless of where you decide to travel with your sweetheart, vow to be romantic the entire time. Behave like honeymooners. Kiss in public places. Give each other massages. Leave all cell phones and laptops far behind. And consider purchasing a little souvenir to bring back home with you, so that you will always remember the time spent together.
