Taking your partner away on a two week exotic vacation might sound like the most romantic surprise you can give your partner n valentine’s day but more often than not, such things are not possible. A surprise vacation, in theory, sounds really romantic but in real life, there are many complications associated with it that can change the entire mood of the trip. However it is not impossible to plan the perfect trip that your partner will enjoy and never ever forget.

A great gift to give on Valentine’s Day is a trip for your partner and you. But before planning anything, you need to pay enough attention and take into account the timing of your trip. Timing is extremely important because a person might have many family and work obligations that can make it excessively difficult for him or her to get away on the spur of the moment. In case your trip is going to be longer than a day or two, this is a very important thing to consider. If you are planning a longer trip, you need to take into account that you and your partner need to take time off from work and arrange for somebody to look after your residence while you are away. Work, however, is just one of the complications. Planning will be greatly affected by family obligations. For instance, if your partner has the responsibility of picking up her niece every week and spending time with her, she will need to find somebody to do the same while she is away.

The best way to avoid such scheduling conflicts is to take the effort and let your partner know what is happening and make him or her aware of the plans an getting feedback so that you can both work out suitable dates on which it will be convenient to go. If you want to retain the element of surprise, maybe you can keep the destination and the activities a surprise but let her in on the schedule and the duration so that you can avoid all the afore mentioned problems that can ensue if you do not let her know beforehand.

Another important thing that you must take into consideration is whether you want to be traveling on the 14th of February. If you are planning on going to a destination that is really far off, this factor becomes all the more important. If such is the case, you need to decide whether you want to leave before Valentines Day or after Valentines Day so that on Valentine’s Day itself, you will be relaxing somewhere instead of traveling. Very often, traveling can get tiresome and stressful, so in order to avoid such problems, it is best to plan the trip such that you are not traveling on that specific day.

Finally when you are planning your trip for the Valentines Day, ensure that you select a location that youi and your partner both will really like and enjoy. It is not necessary that both you and your loved one will enjoy the same activities. There may be some things that you enjoy and some that your partner enjoys. But there will surely be a few things you both have in common and you should try to emphasize those activities. Try your best to ensure that your vacation destination is a place you both would like to go and that it includes activities that you both really enjoy together. For instance, if you really want to go on a golfing vacation, and your partner is not a golf enthusiast, you both might be spending your vacation apart instead of together. Therefore it is necessary that you plan your trip such that there are activities that you both can participate in and enjoy so that you can make your valentines day the best day of your lives.
