Plan Your Florida Romantic Getaway
Couples can also have great Florida romantic getaway among the theme parks and attractions even though the Sunshine State is usually known as a families' destination. Florida has great weather year round, so if you are looking for romance, you probably should avoid any main holiday periods when the attractions will be full of little ones and the beaches packed with teens, but as you'd be very unlucky to find yourself in Florida when the weather is bad, the rest of the year is open to you.
What kind of Florida romantic getaway appeals to you and your partner? Do you want to experience the fun and excitement of the roller coasters and famous theme parks? Or are you looking for
something a little more back to nature? Do you both enjoy looking at architecture, or lazing on a beautiful beach? Does romance mean sharing an enthusiasm for swimming with dolphins, car racing or dreaming about space travel? Whatever you are looking for in a perfect romantic getaway, Florida has it, but it might not be in all in one place - and that's where the planning comes in!
Florida is a long thin State and depending on what you want to do, you will probably find yourself wanting to explore at least two different areas. One way of doing this will be to fly into one city such as Orlando, and out of another, such as Miami. If you rent a car you can use Orlando as your base for such trips as Daytona and the Kennedy Space Center on the Atlantic Ocean coast; and St Petersburg on the Gulf Coast, before driving down the country to Miami. If you get tired of Miami you could even drive further down the State and visit the Keys (Key West has the distinction of having the highest temperature in the United States).
Another option would be to decide what attractions and activities you want to do - for example do you want to visit the old Fort at St. Augustine, take an air boat ride out into the Everglades and enjoy some sun time on a beach in St. Petersburg? Then your Florida romantic getaway might be better to be one that is a three center fly drive vacation where you fly into the airport of your choice and then drive down one side of Florida as far as your furthest south destination and then turn around and drive up the other side of the State.
If you prefer a scheduled vacation, make your hotel reservations prior to departure and keep to an itinerary, but if you think that being spontaneous is more romantic just making your hotel reservations along the way - usually booking a day ahead takes the stress out of spending some of each day wondering where you will sleep that night. Remember that at popular times of the year accommodation may not be too easy to find so it will be wise to book in advance if you are traveling during high season.
Florida is probably the playground capital of the United States and it's perfect for a romantic getaway. Whether you are five or fifty five there's something for everyone to enjoy in this aptly named Sunshine State, and sharing the fun with a partner makes the experience of a Florida romantic getaway so much more enjoyable.
