Step1
Consider your options for romantic destinations. Do you want to drive or fly? Do you want to create the mood in an urban setting like Paris, or a rugged place like Big Sur?
Step2
Research bed-and-breakfasts, small inns and private cabins or condos in your destination area, once you nail down a place.
Step3
Ask about special room features: large tubs, fireplaces, king-sized beds and patios with sweeping views.
Step4
Research idyllic beach walks, gentle mountain trails or picnic areas in the area you will be visiting.
Step5
Investigate cozy restaurants in and around your destination, and make a reservation for two.
Step6
Allow for plenty of relaxation time on your trip. If you are traveling for a weekend, but have a long drive, skip out early on Friday.
Step7
Arrange for special treats to greet you when you arrive. Champagne, chocolates and flowers are quintessential romantic treats.
Step8
Bring scented candles, bubble baths and incense to create an extravagant setting within your hotel room.

on 11/22/2005 A simple getaway is often more romantic and spontaneous than an elaborate one. Don't worry about taking a plane anywhere - that often just adds stress. Instead, whisk your loved one away to a favorite nearby resort.
