Relaxation

Wanting to travel somewhere special for Valentine’s Day, now that plane tickets are less expensive and gas prices seem to have gone down? Here are a few ideas to inspire you around Cupid’s favorite holiday.

Take a surprise weekend getaway!

Cities like San Francisco, London, New York City and Las Vegas have great sales on air tickets right now, so even if you don’t have a lot of vacation time, you can schedule a weekend getaway now or in the near future without having to break your budget. While you are there, enjoy the mild climates of most of these cities and explore by foot, another great way to reconnect and spend time together without having to open your wallet. Many high end and moderate priced hotels are having great sales right now, so it’s a great time to enjoy a little luxury if you can.

Go on a road trip!

Make a playlist, grab your sweetie and get on the road. Find a nearby city or destination a few hours away and enjoy catching up during the journey to get there. Spring is on the way in many destinations, with flowers just starting to bloom - check and see if there are any early spring or mid winter festivals going on to add a little excitement into this otherwise grey time of year.

Plan a romantic vacation for the near future.

Can’t getaway right now? Spend a few hours with your loved one dreaming about a relaxing trip to a warm destination. Take advantage of cheap flights to Mexico, Hawaii and other destinations now, even if you have to hold off for the spring or early summer.

“Eric made a spontaneous turn and we headed toward Lake Placid, NY. We ended up taking the Veterans’ Memorial Highway up Mountain Whiteface for absolutely SPECTACULAR views of the Green and Adirondack mountains. THIS was the truly spectacular, breathtaking part. (and my favorite part of the trip so far.) We actually hiked up a portion of the mountain (only 1/5 mile, but we had to earn every inch of it!) before hanging out at the top, and I could have stayed up there forever.

When we reluctantly left, we drove to Lake Placid to see the Olympic Stadium. We were able to walk around it a little and see the figure-skating and ice hockey rinks from both the 1932 and 1980 games. (for those of you who have seen “Miracle” - we saw that ice rink!) We also took a lap around the speed-skating rink, which is now a running track in front of the awesome high school building. Lake Placid overall is a pretty nice place — it seems like the “up north” of New York, where New Yorkers might come for an outdoor vacation. After walking around a bit and sampling some fudge, crepes, etc., we finally headed off to Vermont” (more…)
