How to Plan the Perfect Valentine's Day Getaway

Step 1
Aim for a country side lodging if possible. You’ll likely have more privacy, nearby areas for quiet strolls, and the serenity for unfettered time together away from it all; a place with a hot tub or Jacuzzi tub is another bonus.

Step 2
Try to find a lodging where you’ll have your own cabin, cottage or other such private space. While Bed and Breakfasts are nice, they don’t always provide the greatest privacy from innkeepers and other guests. Some lodgings even offer special Valentine’s packages.

Step 3
Make sure all of your obligations are properly handled at work and/or home before leaving. Worrying or having to check in by phone every few hours about such things can truly hamper the romantic mood.

Step 4
Men should consider calling ahead to a local florist in the area to arrange a nice bouquet of flowers to be placed bedside ahead of time. Women might think about bringing their most scintillating lingerie and most alluring perfume along.

Step 5 
Weather permitting; a nice picnic can be a very enchanting day outing during your trip. For those areas where cold spells are still prevalent, plan an indoor picnic by the fireside complete with a blanket, bottle of wine and good finger foods to feed one another.

Step 6
Do some online research ahead of time to arrange reservations at the finest restaurant in the region, and try to set up a nice table by the window or a fireside. It can be fun to get your dessert to go, sharing it together in peace back at your room.

Step 7
Bring along some body oils and a book on massage techniques if you’re not already an expert. Leave the television off and put on some soft music, or simply enjoy each other’s company in quiet.
