Valentine Day thoughts on romantic getaways

Here are some thoughts on romantic getaways for you last minute Valentine Day lovers:

· A romantic bed and breakfast in the lovely Hocking Hills country with your own fireplace and hot tub (http://www.cabinsatcedargrove.com).

· One of Las Vegas’s mega resorts like the Venetian. Imagine a gondola ride and a romantic stroll and dinner in Venice (www.venetian.com).

· Wing off to one of the off-the-beaten path Caribbean Islands like Antigua where you can experience a different beach each day ofthe year. That's right they claim to have 365 beaches so you should be able to discover a romantic seculded one. Other personal favorites are Grenada, St. Barts or St. Kitts. Picture palm tree lined beaches, elegant resorts and you’re not invaded by the hordes of cruise ship guests like other islands are (http://www.caribbeantravel.com).

· Just get creative and use your imagination.

Short on ideas then just check with your local travel agent I’m sure they will have plenty of ideas. And they can set you up with a gift certificate that you can present to your sweetie.
