6 Sweet Valentine’s Day Travel Packages For You And Your Love

Let’s be real. Not Everyone in the world is a fan of Valentine’s Day. If you’re on your own or on the fritz, it can be a downright miserable holiday as you fall victim to the commercialized displays of affection. Red hearts, silly baby cupids, calorie-laden chocolate, doomed roses..bah humbug! Why don’t people keep it to themselves and cease competing for attention to show the unlimited bounds of their love?!

Ok, I’m joking. I’m not a scrooge. I love VALENTINE’s DAY! First, because it’s my birthday (who doesn’t love their birthday?). Second, because red is my favorite color and I love seeing it everywhere. And third, some people need reminders to be extra nice (and loving) even if it’s just for one day of the year.

It’s also a great excuse to get away with your significant other for a couple days of specialized romance.

Valentine’s Day may not be the cheapest time to travel, just as it’s the worst day to go out for dinner (one of the down sides to being born on the 14th). However, you may find some nice packages out there specially designed for your romantic getaway.

Here are six sweet travel packages to take a peek at. Smooches!
