Packing For A Romantic Getaway

by Jennifer Good

Getting away for a romantic weekend should be something easy and carefree to do... just like the actual time spent with your love while you're away. Handle any last minute needs with this following list of romantic getaway essentials!

To set a romantic mood in your room include the following items:

Tea lights
Matches
Your own champagne or alcoholic beverage
Bubble bath
Massage Oil
Mini music/CD player with your favorite romantic CDs.

Make sure your clothing is something that is comfortable and easy to wear. The less attention you have on your clothing the more you can apply to your lover! Here are a few suggestions:

Lingerie
Comfortable walking/sightseeing clothes (and shoes) for each day you'll be gone.
One to two outfits for a romantic dinner out on the town.
Swimsuit. (Most hotels have heated pools and/or hot tubs.)
Clothing to keep warm, depending on the season.

Sometimes unexpected things happen. Being prepared helps make your weekend go by as smoothly as possible. Some items you might want to include are:

Sunscreen (if needed)
Aloe Vera Gel or Lotion (in case of sunburn or other skin condition)
Personal toiletries
Any romantic games you'd like to play.
A sample itinerary of the things you'd like to see and/or do during the weekend. You can find information on just about any town online. Also find out whether the place you're staying has information about services and amenities they can send you, you can pick up or you can find on the web.
