Hi friends!
Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I am busy decorating with the help of my daughters. They are making some crafts for their friends and I am designing some chocolate wraps which I hope to share with you soon.
Maybe you remember the plans we had for this V-Day, a trip we talked about here.
This can be a wonderful way to escape your daily lives and explore somewhere new, and it is sure to strengthen your bond whether you are in the early stages of your relationship or you have been married for many years. As such a special trip, it is important that you know how to get the most out of it so that it will be a valuable and memorable experience for you both. Here are a few tips for planning a romantic vacation which will help it to be a special moment in your relationship.
Create A Budget Together
It may not be glamorous or exciting, but it is important that you both put your heads together and agree on an amount that you can afford to spend on the vacation. You do not want to end up arguing on the trip and money is perhaps the easiest way for an argument to occur. This can be avoided by creating a budget together and sticking to it.
Create A Loose Plan
You will want to make the most out of your trip so create a loose plan for each day so that there is always something to do. There will probably be times where you simply want to chill out and relax so having some flexibility is important, and you should not force each other into sticking to the plan. You can also enjoy a short trip to another city, there are sites with different offers.
Private Accommodation
You will want to spend quality time together on the trip, and one of the best ways to do this is to book into private accommodation as opposed to a hotel or hostel. While hotels can be nice because you are looked after, a private accommodation will allow you to have a house away from home and to cook your own romantic meals (a great way to save money).
Hire A Car
Following on from this, hiring a car allows you to enjoy privacy and it will put you in complete control over your travel – you can easily find affordable car rentals online. This is ideal if you are in a spot where you want to explore different areas or if you are in the countryside, but even in urban areas it can be handy to have your own car because of the level of control you have over your movements.
Avoid The Tourist Traps
There are certain destinations where you will want to see all of the main attractions, but you should also try to avoid tourist traps where possible as these can be overcrowded and not particularly romantic. Instead, try to find out how the locals live and find the best shops, bars and restaurants favored by them. This will provide you with a much more authentic and romantic experience of the destination.
Romantic holidays are important for every relationship as it is on these that you strengthen your connection and make many happy memories no matter how long you have been together. These tips should help you to plan a fun, successful and memorable holiday no matter where you go and to get the most out of your destination.
