Introduction

Life can get stressful and frustrating fairly easily. Take a break from responsibility by planning a romantic weekend getaway for you and your main squeeze. Weekend getaways are great because they are relatively inexpensive, but still give you the chance to remember why you love your significant other in the first place.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Steps

1

Step One

Hire a babysitter if you have kids. Consider having your children stay at a relative's house, or have the relative stay at your house. If your children are older, consider simply having a friend check in on them once or twice a day.
2

Step Two

Account for transportation. Book a flight, get bus or train tickets or rent a car in order to get to your vacation spot. If you're going to drive yourself, have your vehicle tuned before you leave.
3

Step Three

Book a hotel room. Go for something romantic, like a cozy bed and breakfast or a suite with a king-sized bed.
4

Step Four

Plan activities. You should leave your romantic getaway fairly laid-back with lots of free time, but avoid getting bored by choosing one or two fun things to do together and purchasing tickets in advance.
5

Step Five

Make dinner reservations. For a romantic getaway, consider calling ahead to some fancy places to eat instead of scrounging for food when you get there.
6

Step Six

Pack your luggage. Take only the bare minimum, but remember to include clothing for special events and fancy dinners.

Tips & Warnings

  • Keep the getaway simple. Remember, it is for romance, not touring.
  • If you have pets, arrange for a friend can take care of them while you are gone.
  • Plan activities you will both enjoy.
  • Leave all of your work at home.

Overall Things You'll Need

  • Hotel reservations
  • Dinner reservations (optional)
  • Babysitter
  • Transportation to and from the getaway
