Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer with Internet access for searching

1. Think about places the two of you have traveled in the past: Which have had the most meaning? If there is a special place, consider booking your weekend getaway at that location.

2. Haven't done much–—or any–—traveling together before but still want to plan a weekend getaway to propose? Think about the places the two of you have always said you wanted to visit and book your weekend getaway at that location.

3. Do your homework. Call a travel agent or check with online travel agencies and services to help you find the best price on a trip to the location you want–—when you want to take it.

4. Book the right weekend getaway. Keep all the paperwork together.

5. Decide whether or not to make the trip a surprise. If you want to tell her about the trip, do so; if you don't want to tell her, just let her know when to be ready and make it a point to have everything she'll need.

6. Make sure you pack everything that you will need for the trip–—including the engagement ring. Go and have a great time.
