ideas for romantic getaway in nov (post up)

[4dmin]

so i have tons of ideas of things i but i i'm trying to get some outside insight what you think would be good. here are some ideas of getaways i'm considering for nov (try to stay under 2g):


Domestic

- Portland, OR: i think she would absolutely love a trip to wine country... what women wouldn't. stay at a nice b&b have her pampered then off for some wine tasting. but i don't drink wine :(

- Chicago, IL: i found out Wicked the broadway musical is playing there and she really would like to see it, but other then the musical i don't know what else i would even go there for :thinking:

- (coastal)Maine: stay at a b&b on the water take in the beautiful scenery, have some fresh lobster, and go sailing. very relaxing and different from our norm... but i'm wondering if this will be more enjoyable when we are older

- Penn: i found a cool botique style hotel that is built around romance... they have champange glass hot tubs that are like 10" tall, plunge pools, mirror'd ceilings, etc in the suites. now this would be a very busy vacation if you know what i mean :idb: ... i guess we could find something up there to fill the rest of the time we aren't in the room.

- D.C.: we were supposed to go in July but weren't able to make it... there are so many things to do there, plus we can take Amtrak train up there which would be cool; neither of us ever been on a train for travel.

- Boston/Amherst, MA: we met there and we have friends up there, tons of shit we can get into up there.


International

- Argentina: we have a friend down there but flights aren't cheap... looking around 700 per person round trip. it would be super cheap once we get there US dollar is like 3:1 to Arg Peso. another cool thing is nov is spring for them.

- Bahamas: take a cruise we've never been down there nor have we been on a cruise, so i don't know what to expect... still looking to see if i can find an adult only cruise

- Jamaica: we got married there and it was awesome... the people of jamaica treat you like a king/queen and i would love to take her back there for great memories... but we've already been so i would like to try something new

- Mexico: we went last year and i wasn't too impressed but i wouldn't mind going back to Xpu-ha Resort which we stayed on day at. its an ecological park w/ monkeys, tons of marine life, gators, etc... you stay in bungalows. This is another option for a cruise.

- Belize/Cozumel: both i've read some nice things on but breaking on the 2g limit we would only probably be able to do 3 day excursion



tell me your ideas/thoughts...

Paul, cruises are fun. Tray and I went on one last month. Only thing is you want to be careful in November, the rates are real cheap, but you might have a problem with hurricanes, however.. I think late October is the end of hurricane season (I may be wrong tho).

Pros are food/entertainment/juice/lodging is free, plus the food is REALLY good, they have the option of eating at the "formal" dining room every night, or you can go with the casual buffet-style area (although they serve the same food most of the time). The off-shore excursions can be a bit pricey, depending on which one you decide to do. We went fishing and it ran about $60 dollars per person, and that was one of the cheapest ones. They can go up to $200 dollars per person, but you have a LOT of choices at each port.

Cons - DRINKS is where they get you. Everything is comped 17.5% automatically, so you have no choice. Coke/Sprite/Diet Coke is included in the drinks you pay for, only juice, tea and/or lemonade is free. Alcoholic drinks are club/bar prices - $9.00 per drink + tip. They get you by making you use a "cruise card" which is linked to your credit card, then you get the bill when you leave.

We went on Carnival, and went to a couple different places in the Bahamas (Freeport, Nassau). Most cruise lines will have their own private island which is badass, cause you can just lay on the beach with nobody around. The cool part is you can go to the Atlantis Hotel in Nassau for cheap and go to the aquarium there, lay on their private beaches, look around, etc.

Carnival wasn't too bad kid wise. There were mostly 30-45 yr old couples, and the kids stay all day on their Camp Carnival thing, so they're not running crazy around the boat wrecking shit. Look on Travelocity or some travel website, normally they'll have the statistics for the cruise line, ie, age demographics of cruise passengers, boat stats, etc.

I voted 'chicago for the musical' I enjoy a good synomphy orchestra :goodjob:

[BluesClues]

I think a cruise would be very romantic. Imagine yourselves out there at night looking at the clear sky able to see all the stars as if you could touch them. You're holding each other cuddling, drinking wine or what have you, while watching the tides of the ocean roll in and out. It could make you two feel like you're the only people on the planet. Something couples normally enjoy
