Hitting the open road with your significant pother inspires thoughts and images of smiling couples, going from town-to-town, exploring antique shops, staying in Bed and Breakfasts and enjoying some time alone. Everyone can relate to the imagery, but not everyone realizes that quite a bit of planning is necessary to pull off a seemingly effortless romantic road trip. Be sure to buy plenty of guidebooks and maps well in advance of your trip. The key is to have a strong sense of the area prior to arriving. This will help you spend more time enjoying each other, rather than arguing over turning left or right. Remember, planning, planning, planning.
For a coastal trip, there is no better drive than Rhode Island. Stay in Newport and drive through the entire state, head into Eastern Connecticut and even explore Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. This is as romantic as it gets. Enjoy. Niagara Falls is another perennial favorite for couples. It must be something about the overwhelming sound, but a trip for two to the falls is an unforgettable getaway and the surrounding landscape is equally worthwhile. Looking for something with a decidedly rugged feel? Why not take a trip to Jefferson County, West Virginia for views of the Appalachian Trail, Harpers Ferry National Park and limitless country roads that will take your breath away. Perhaps you would prefer the Chesapeake Bay area. By car this can be a fun trip with stops all around the bay for quaint lodging, hardshell crabs and great shopping to refuel your engines. Driving vacations are accessible to anyone on any budget. Just remember to plan before you decide to embark on any road trip. A poorly planned trip could turn your romantic getaway into frustrating situation for both you and your partner. Now go and get started and share a romantic road trip with the one you love. |
