Valentine’s Day Travel

Happy Valentine’s Day, readers!

Yesterday’s eFlyer USA’s lead story looked at a study of the most popular Valentine’s Day destinations. New York City ranked No. 1 domestically, and Cancún took the top spot internationally.

I don’t normally consider Valentine’s Day as a travel holiday; however, this article made me think about places I have been and would like to travel to with my husband. Our most romantic trip would be our honeymoon, which started in New Orleans before Tahiti and Bora-Bora. With its party atmosphere, New Orleans is also a romantic city. And you can’t really beat French Polynesia for luxurious romance. Of the other destinations on the most-popular list, Seattle and Vancouver are also places we’d like to visit.

Maybe this time next year, my blog will be about my own Valentine’s Day trip!

Costa Rica Lures with Modern Amenities, Rural Charm and a Simple Way of Life

When I first visited Costa Rica, I was ostensibly there for business. But after a few days in this tropical paradise, my trip started to feel more like a vacation than work. This isn’t to say I neglected my obligations, rather that my work meetings felt more pleasurable (and productive) than usual. The gorgeous jungle landscape combined with the pura vida lifestyle is a simply infectious combination, and it’s unsurprising the nation consistently ranks as the most popular tourist destination in Central America.
