A Romantic Break that’s Easy on the Wallet

Trying to plan an inexpensive romantic break? You don't need to spend a small fortune to create a memorable getaway. Read this article for more information.

Trying to plan an inexpensive romantic break? How about a picnic?

Do some research and select a secluded spot away from background noise, traffic, airplanes, kids, and other distractions.

If you live in the center of a big city, this may not be practical. See if you can get to a balcony or roof garden - a cozy spot protected from prying eyes. (By the way - do not do anything in public places that could get you arrested. Use discretion!)

You can even plan a picnic for your backyard, living room, bedroom, or your favorite hotel. If you decide to go to a hotel, consider travelling there and back via limo.

Here are some suggestions for your picnic basket:

A thick blanket - to protect from sharp rocks or hard floor/balcony surfaces.

Small pillows to support your heads while you count clouds (or just for comfort).

Picnic lunch. Stuck for ideas? Try a local delicatessen. Take-out fried chicken, pizza, or Chinese food are also options.

Add some strawberries or an exotic fruit that you both like, along with chocolate dipping sauce (the type that does not require heating).

Whipped cream

Drinking water

Champagne, corkscrew, and glasses

Eating, cutting, and serving utensils

Plates, bowls, etc.

Napkins and/or paper towels. These can also be moistened with a little water for clean up.

Something in which to store leftovers

Heart-shaped helium-filled balloons

A book of romantic poetry or short stories that you can read to one another.

Mood music with the appropriate audio player.

Flowers, flower petals, or potpourri - scatter around the blanket.

Sunscreen and sunglasses

Bug repellant

Umbrella. Pick a huge umbrella under which you can cuddle together.

Jackets. Wind or sudden temperature changes can turn a picnic into a miserable, cold experience if you have not planned for it.

Camera. If you have a camera that supports it, set the timing feature and take some 'couple' photos.

Spend the afternoon relaxing, chatting and connecting (or reconnecting). If you feel sleepy, have a catnap. Slow dance or sway to the music. How about a massage?

The mood has been set . . . What happens next is up to you!
