You’ve got less than a week to make a romantic impression. Flowers are so passé and chocolates will just go bad. And, unless it comes with a diamond ring, it’s likely that the teddy bear idea will be a bust. What to do?
Don’t despair: Pack your bags, grab your loved one and head to the airport. With airline prices dropping by the minute and cheap hotels opening up rooms on a daily basis, there’s no reason you can’t impress this Valentine’s Day. Thanks to the down economy, you can plan a cheap Valentine’s Day vacation without breaking the bank. Check out these Valentine’s Day travel deals to some of the hottest destinations around the world.
You don’t have to travel far to set the mood. Stay close to home and book cheap flights and hotels to these five romantic Valentine’s Day destinations:
Newport, RI: Newport exudes class, elegance and romance, all within a span of only a few miles. Book flights to Providence and drive less than an hour to the seaside town, where mansions line the coast and couples engage in starry-eyed looks from candlelit bars along the ocean. Book a Newport vacation to experience the grandeur for yourself. Book cheap Newport hotels and flights and spend time walking the cobblestoned-streets, dining in some of the best New England restaurants, and take in the views along Ocean Drive.
New Orleans: Few things are sexier than a midnight stroll through New Orleans’s French Quarter. The jazz pumping from the smoked-filled clubs, the smell of spices lofting from basement bars, the essence of Mardi Gras wafting through the streets… New Orleans is spicy and fun, and will reignite even the faintest love flame. Cheap flights to New Orleans are available now, before the Mardi Gras crowds set in.
Woodstock, VT: Even the most unromantic can get swept away in Vermont. A roaring fire in a log cabin, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, cliff walks and of course, the maple syrup – combine it all together and you’ve got a recipe for romance. Book cheap Vermont flights and spend a weekend cuddled up in a cozy B&B, or stay slope-side and ski Vermont’s famous mountains before winding down to a romantic evening inside the warm lodge.
Sedona, AZ: Peace, love and happiness equal Sedona. The Red Rocks provide the most dramatic background to this most relaxing Arizona gem. Couples massages, nature hikes and the dry desert heat make Sedona one of the most romantic West Coast cities. Its mile-high rocks make long drives a pleasure, and the never-ending forestry create the illusion that you’re living inside a national park. Sedona is a place known for its mystical environment and its refreshing energy – book a weekend flight to Sedona and you’ll fall in love all over again.
New York: The city that never sleeps welcomes lovers to experience an entirely other New York – a calmer, quieter New York. Avoid the bright lights of Times Square and cuddle up on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Book a New York hotel at one of the city’s boutique establishments and spend a quiet, charming weekend exploring the unblemished sections of Manhattan. Walk through Central Park and have dinner at a hidden restaurant off the beaten path. If you crave a little New York revelry, grab tickets to a Broadway show and spend one night in Midtown among the other New York night owls. Cap off your night with a glass of champagne at one of New York’s famous hotel bars.
Cape Cod, Massachusetts: The best time to travel to Cape Cod is during the off-season, when the streets are quiet and the cold air keeps tourists away from the bay. Take a drive down to Provincetown and visit the The Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum (PMPM). The museum is exhibiting world renowned art treasures on Valentines Day/President’s Day weekend – the museum is open to the public with free admission. While you’re here, splurge on a local seafood dinner and enjoy a beautiful Cape Cod sunset -the ultimate in romance.
