        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?

        Research bed-and-breakfasts, small inns and private cabins or condos in your destination area, once you nail down a place.

      • 3

        Ask about special room features: large tubs, fireplaces, king-sized beds and patios with sweeping views.

      • 4

        Research idyllic beach walks, gentle mountain trails or picnic areas in the area you will be visiting.

      • 5

        Investigate cozy restaurants in and around your destination, and make a reservation for two.

        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.

      • 7

        Arrange for special treats to greet you when you arrive. Champagne, chocolates and flowers are quintessential romantic treats.

      • 8

        Bring scented candles, bubble baths and incense to create an extravagant setting within your hotel room.

    Tips & Warnings

    • For added mystique, plan a romantic trip as a surprise. Ask your significant other to pack a bag, and then blindfold him or her and lead the way!

      When planning a romantic getaway, it's important to ask the person that you'd like to take with you. Make sure that they don't have any plans for that time.

      Tell him to meet you after work in a nearby hotel. Have candles lit and a hot tub of water filled with bubbles. Meet him at the door in your sexiest nightie. Order room service.
