East Or West, Romantic Holidays Are Best

Whether you're embarking on a spur-of-the-moment romantic vacation or a cherished holiday for two that you've been planning for months, it can be tough deciding where to take your loved one on holiday. While classic romantic destinations like London, Paris or Rome may be within the reach for some, not everyone has the means to travel so far in the name of love! But rest assured, if you're looking for a romantic holiday destination in the United States, there are plenty of options at your disposal.

For example, why not try a scenic tour of New England for a dose of romance on your vacation? Holidaymakers in New England will find a range of small, quaint towns in states such as Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts, which are enriched with a relaxed pace of life. The region's spectacular scenery is characterised by country lanes, sparkling rivers and lakes, and rolling hills. If you're looking for a place in the country to unwind and mellow out not far from home, then New England is sure to be a hit with you and your loved one. Moreover, the range of holiday inns and bed and breakfast services found in the area can provide especially romantic settings.

If you're looking for seclusion on your vacation, Lake Tahoe also provides an excellent holiday destination. One of the largest and most visited lakes in the United States, Lake Tahoe is located near Carson City on the border between California and Nevada. If you and your loved one decide to visit Lake Tahoe, you'll find a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities in which you can indulge, including ski resorts, watersports, hiking and mountain biking. And at night, you'll even find a range of casinos open, so you'll have something to occupy yourself with at all hours of the day.

Or, alternatively, why not take a tour of Southern California's most spectacular beaches, for a memorable romantic holiday for two. Drive along well-known California beach spots, including Monterey (home to one of the world's largest aquariums), Big Sur and Carmel for stunning oceanside views. Or, cruise along the 17 Mile Drive, a legendary road which passes through a range of wild coastal scenescapes and dense forest spots for an amorous setting. What's more, these beaches provide the ideal location for romantic picnics or an adventurous spot of kite-flying - perfect material for an unforgettable romantic vacation.

When you're looking for affordable accommodation on your romantic getaway, you'll be able to find plenty of hotels offering romantic holiday packages to suit your needs. So whether you choose to go east or west for your special "do not disturb" vacation, rest assured that you and your loved one will be able to enjoy the best America has to offer.
