Romantic Getaways
|
Picture yourself in one of the most exquisite
romantic getaways like New York, Paris, Switzerland or Hawaii...
All alone with your beloved...
Enjoying the beautiful sights and sounds,
and having some real romance for once.
We all know that getting away from the tedium of life is good for a relationship. Yet how many of us make an effort to get away from it all?
There are many considerations, of course.Who'll look after the kids? Where will the money come from? Why not postpone it?
With life pressing in on us with its various demands, dreams of visiting romantic getaways with someone special remain in the realm of dreams alone.
But romantic getaways do not necessarily have to burn a hole in your pocket (see our article on inexpensive honeymoon vacation ideas.)
Search out a place very near your house.
I know of someone who borrowed a small locked up cottage on the top of a hill. She stocked up on all the bare necessities and got her husband there for a beautiful weekend.
It was a thrilling adventure for them...
This is the essence romantic getaways...
Do new things and enjoy doing the old things in new surroundings.
Here is a list of some of the most exotic places you can visit...
These places are geographically well-placed, easy to reach and simply brilliant.
Of course...
Much of the beauty of your vacation depends on the company you bring, but honestly, would you rather be in a castle or a dingy when you are on a holiday? (The dingy too has its possibilities.)
Romantic Getaways #1: San Francisco
Romantic San Francisco with its Cable cars, rows of Victorian houses located at Alamo Square, the Painted Ladies - it's a real treat to the eyes.
Visual beauty is at its peak here.
If you want to leave the city behind, cross over to Muir Woods National Monument.
The giant Redwoods here are simply magnificent.
The Highway 1 is hard up against the mountains and the cruise is out of this world.
The sun set in the Bay area is phenomenal. The food is cheap and boarding is easy to find.
What better way to spend some quality time together than in the midst of all this opulence?
Romantic-Getaways #2: Tucson
This desert just comes alive in a riot of color in the winter - Mexican poppies, clover and lupine.
The colors are rich and deep - ranging from pink to golden and violet. If the rainfall has been good that year, the ground is covered by a luminescent carpet - one that goes on and on for miles.
For the more scientific minded, there are several observatories here. Stargaze to your heart's content and get lost in the magic of the sky.
Here, it's just you, your love and the vast sky with its millions of little stars.
Romantic-Getaways #3: Savannah
Twilight at Savannah is one of the most breath taking sights with the whole vista covered in golden light, and not a single note out of place.
The languorous past still clings to the surroundings. Enjoy it by taking your love horse riding.
Savannah moves at a very leisurely pace, and this is the best place to go if you want to just slow down.
The Art museum, old houses and shopping streets are straight from the sets of a romantic movie.
