Summer Romance for the Adventurous, yet Frugal, Traveler
- Coastal getaways: This summer is an excellent opportunity to stroll hand-in-hand along the beach and collect shells or explore tidal pools.
- Sunset walks in a national park: There are literally hundreds of spectacular scenes waiting to be discovered in our National Parks. The beauty of nature is always better appreciated when accompanied by the one you love. Visit U.S. National Parks Net or the National Park Service online for full information on the parks system.
Camping: What could be sexier then snuggling up to your special someone in a tight two-person tent? Or hiking around an alpine lake at sunrise? And, if you're going to be outside at night, remember to look up; summertime is prime stargazing season. Summer Romance in Spare-No-Expense StyleIf ultimate romance is your goal -- and you are willing to spare no expense in achieving it -- consider these ideas that are sure to please: Italy: There is something very sexy about looking at awe-inspiring, centuries-old art and architecture with someone you want to spend lots of time with. Plus, think of all the fun you will have wiling away an afternoon at a street-side caf or visiting shops along narrow, cobblestone lanes. Don't forget that wonderful European tradition of taking a siesta in the afternoon! Cruising: If the thought of side-by-side lounge chairs and basking lazily in the sun all day without a worry in the world floats your boat, this may be the ideal romantic getaway for you and your partner. The beauty of taking a cruise is that once you step aboard, you do nothing but relax and have fun. Cruise ships are a self-contained universe. Remember to bring traveler's checks and/or credit cards for the shore excursions you may choose to take. One of the best things about getting away from the rat race is the opportunity to relax and reconnect with your partner. If it's been years since you enjoyed a moonlit stroll together along a deserted beach, or since you laid on your backs counting all the stars in the sky, isn't it high time that the two of you get out to enjoy the world around you? Basking in the beauty surrounding your lives will bring you back to your center and enrich not only your own soul, but the soul of your relationship, as well.
