A new year always means a chance for a new start. You and yours can begin this New Year by making some travel resolutions together, regardless of your time and budget restraints. Put aside those old travel habits and make some new ones! Let this be the year that your travel plans focus on fun, fantasy, and festivities!
(1) We’re going to plan a real vacation. No, it doesn’t have to be an around the world cruise or first class getaway (but if you can afford it, what are you waiting for?) It does have to be an honest-to-goodness vacation, though. No cell phones, no laptops. Mark the dates on the calendar and keep it just like you’d keep any business appointment. The business of romantic travel, though, is a fun one and an activity that the two of you can plan for months.
(2) We’re going to involve each other in the trip planning. All too often, one partner gets the job for planning a trip…and that task quickly becomes a bore. Plan your trips together! Anticipation is half the fun. Visit a travel agent. Collect brochures. Buy a guidebook. Rent a video about your destination. Search the internet for information.
(3) We’re going to do something we’ve never done. Here you can be as mild — or as wild — as you dare. Go whitewater rafting. Rent a houseboat. Take a hot air balloon ride. Spend the night in a local bed and breakfast. Learn to scuba dive. Dance the whole night away under the stars. The choice is yours.
(4) We’re going to take one mini-vacation every month. Whether it’s for the night or just for the night out, plan one tiny slice of a vacation every single month. The only rule: you must pretend you’re on vacation. Book a night at a local bed and breakfast. Call your local hotel and find out their non-peak nights (in business-oriented cities, it’s usually Friday and Saturday) then plan a short romantic getaway.
(5) We’re going to go to at least one festival. Special events take place at just about every community around the world. Whatever your interests — from square dancing to sandcastle building — you’ll find a festival celebrating with a day or two of fun and food. If you don’t have the time or budget to go far, contact area chamber of commerce or tourism offices within a day’s drive of your home for their calendar of events. If you can, extend your trip into a long weekend. If you’ve got the time and resources, check out some of the major fun festivals: Carnival, Mardi gras, and Rio’s Carnival. Don’t forget your costume!

What is the most romantic destination to travel to Mexico in March?My wife and I are heading to Mexico in the March timeframe and considering:
a) Cancun
b) Cozumel
c) Ixtapa
d) Los Cabos
e) Mexico City
f) Riviera Maya
g) Puerto Vallarta
I'm looking for a place with great beaches and sun, fabulous food, great scenic spots, and not too touristy/crowded during Spring Break time. What would you recommend?
I also have the chance of going to Costa Rica instead of Mexico. Would anyone recommend that? (most likely San Jose area)

Gosh, the moves that make Michael J jelous *g*
A fellow Missourian! I was born & still live in St. Louis.
Let's see… It sounds like you want a small town. I'm a bigger city person myself, so I would recommend chicago or memphis. But if you go to mid missouri there is a bunch of wineries. And it is really fun to go wine tasting. If the weather is nice you could eat wine & bread and cheese with a cool breeze in the sunset — always fun to do.
I also know there's a small German town called Hermann, missouri that is supposed to have wineries and a bunch of nice things to do. http://www.hermannmo.com/
I'm not too sure about small towns outside of Missouri, so I can't be much of help there, but if you go to memphis, definitely go to some old victorian style southern country homes. In Chicago you can do pretty much anything, but it'll take some $$. Kansas city & St. Louis are great places if you want to stay in missouri too. A walk under the arch or a trip to Forest park with all the museums and zoo are really nice to do on a good day. It can be really romantic to walk by the gigantic lake in the middle of the park there.
That's about all the ideas I got…. sorry I can't be of more help
You could go to the Beau Rivage Casino Resort in Biloxi, MS; thay have a nice spa.
paris, my dad preposed to my mom there
This is the Greece travel section.
Greece as in Europe….
Here are some possibilities:
On Cape Cod.Provincetown, an Artist colony on the tip of the Cape about 2 and a half hours from Boston. Great for bike riding, Strolling. go to the point and watch the sunset tres romantic.
South of the city: Quincy a small historical city with several good restaurants.
North of the city:Salem another great strolling city . Highlights include the House of Seven Gables, the witch museum and the Custom House.
…..When my wife and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary,we spent a weekend at a hotel just 10 miles from home.Friends and family thought we went to the beach ,but we just got reservations for 2 nights at a good hotel/resort.

up my stairs into my bed with my husband…..he is a great lover…………..but seriously I think Venice, Italy is amazing…..not able to travel across the sea? go to the nearest coastline and find a quaint Bed And Breakfast
I love Mexico and have travelled there many times. That said, I have to suggest you go to Costa Rica if you're travelling in March for one reason: Spring Break. Unless your idea of romance includes being in the background of Girls Gone Wild most of the beaches you listed will be filthy with frat boys. Anyway I've heard Costa Rica is an amazing place. Either way, bon voyage!
