Valentine’s day is a special day on the year in which we express our love and affection to those closest to us. Particularly a spouse or significant other. This upcoming Valentine’s Day occurs on a Friday which makes it ideal for a weekend getaway. This is the perfect time to start planning a romantic trip for the one you love.
Here are a few tips to help plan your romantic weekend:
Synchronize Your Schedules– If you are planning this trip as a surprise, be sure to check that your significant other has time to go away with you for the weekend. Check their work schedule and be sure they will be able to have off for the weekend. You might even want to request that their boss let them off. If it is not a surprise you can simply ask them to take off of work for the weekend.
Book the flight– It is best to book your travel accommodations sooner rather than later. If you’ve been looking up the ticket prices for a couple of weeks, be sure to clear your browsing history first. This will ensure that you get the best price. Most websites save your browsing history and increase the price based on your searches. If you are trying to surprise your partner, make sure not to book the trip on a shared credit card or through shared airplane miles. This will ensure that they don’t receive a notification about your plans!
Plan the trip– Now that you’ve figured out the schedule and booked the flight it is time to plan your mini vacation. There are many different options when planning a romantic weekend away. What you choose will depend on what kind of activities you and your significant other enjoy. Some couples love to head outdoors for adventure and connecting with nature. Other couples may enjoy a relaxing tie indoors sipping wine over a candlelit dinner.
