Valentine's Day is Coming

Posted by Jennifer W. Miner Jan 25, 2008

Valentine's Day is around the corner, and the more thoughtful of my readers are probably already considering where to go and what to buy for the love in their lives. Right? ...No? It figures. Well, in these times of tightened belts and emptier wallets, it may be wise to forgo that private jet to Paris for Valentine's Day, but romantic weekend getaways are still easy to find, and to afford.

If any romantic long weekend destinations are near you, consider making this Valentine's Day special. It's a blacked-out travel time for a reason; I have no statistics on this, but I'd wager it's one of the most popular weekend dates for marriage proposals. If that's all in the past (in my case, waaaay in the past), a getaway weekend trip is still commendable - and try packing some surprises to keep that romantic spark alive. Or send some of those goodies to me - my spouse will likely forget as usual, and I'm not as picky as I used to be. Kidding! I kid. Have a sweet Valentine's Day.
