5 Romantic Travel Resolutions
by:
Paris Permenter & John Bigley
A new year always means a chance for a new start. You and yours can begin this new year by production
several travel resolutions together, regardless of your time and budget restraints. Put aside those old travel habits and do several new ones! Let this be the year that your travel plans focus on fun, fantasy, and festivities!
(1) We're going to plan a real vacation. No, it doesn't have to be an about the earth cruise or 1st class getaway (but if you can afford it, what are you waiting for?) It makes have to be an honest-to-goodness vacation, though. No cell phones, no laptops. Mark the dates on the calendar and support it simply like you'd support any business appointment. The business of romantic travel, though, is a fun one and an work that the two of you can plan for months.
(2) We're going to involve each else in the trip planning. All too often, one partner gets the job for planning a trip...and that task quickly becomes a bore. Plan your trips together! Anticipation is half the fun. Visit a travel agent. Collect brochures. Buy a guidebook. Rent a video simply about your destination. Search the net
for information.
(3) We're going to do thing
we've ne'er
done. Here you can be as mild -- or as wild -- as you dare. Go whitewater rafting. Rent a houseboat. Take a hot air balloon ride. Spend the night in a local bed and breakfast. Discover to breathing apparatus dive. Dance the whole night away under the stars. The select is yours.
(4) We're going to take one mini-vacation every month. Whether it's for the night or simply for the night out, plan one flyspeck slice of a vacation every single month. The only rule: you must pretend you're on vacation. Book a night at a local bed and breakfast. Call your local building and find out their non-peak nights (in business-oriented cities, it's ordinarily Fri and Saturday) then plan a short romantic getaway.
(5) We're going to go to at least one festival. Special events take place at simply just about every community about the world. Whatsoever
your interests -- from square performing arts to sandcastle building -- you'll find a festival celebrating with a day or two of fun and food. If you don't have the time or budget to go far, contact area chamber of commerce or business enterprise offices inside
a day's driving of your house for their calendar of events. If you can, extend your trip into a long weekend. If you've got the time and resources, check out several of the major fun festivals: Carnival, Mardi Gras, Rio's Carnivale. Don't forget your costume!
