Like anything else worth doing, romantic getaways should be carefully planned. Do not confuse that with having every minute booked up. Nothing is more romantic than your sweetheart arranging a specially selected favorite activity ahead of time. It shows that you thought of him/her and wanted to make your time together extra special. For instance, on your first night away, have an idea of where you will be eating by researching good restaurants before leaving home. This is so much preferable to fumbling around with a phone book while you are starving. Doing this in advance will ensure that you have reservations when you do find the perfect eatery. Or find out if a memorable event, like a play or concert, will be in the area. You have a better shot at buying tickets if you are aware of the event ahead of time.
