The Nearest Beach

There is something about the beach, that is wonderfully romantic and enjoyable. So, a trip to the beach is without a doubt, a romantic getaway for a couple. All you have to do is pack your bags and drive down the closest beach.

A Trip to Meet Family

If you have a three day weekend at hand, the entire family can drop by into someone's place and crash for the long weekend. You get to meet your family and it can be a lot of fun as well.

A Cruise

Who says cruises have to be really expensive. You can bunk into one of those less expensive cruise liners, where you have a pay-per-use system.
