For those of you who can maneuver their schedules, and the prices are not bad, how about taking your Valentine on a trip to some really romantic spots;

Let's start with a look at a Vacation to Niagara Falls. Sure this is the cliche of cliche's when talking about a romantic getaways, but if you take a look at some of the great upcoming deals on certain Niagara Falls hotels you may be coaxed into a neat little trip. A personal favorite would have to be the Niagara Falls Marriott. Overlooking the famous Niagara Falls this property has elegance and charm to surely impress your sweety.

If you're looking for sunnier and warmer weather than what Niagara Falls can offer, set your sites to sunny Florida. There's a bevy of destinations to get the heat going in your relationship.

January 26th 2005: Featured Hotel : Universal's Royal Pacific Resort and Hotel in Orlando

If you're heading to Orlando any time soon, this is one hotel and resort you've got to consider. Universal's Royal Pacific Hotel is the ultimate in luxury and accommodations for a great Florida vacation. This property is literally located on the grounds of Universal Studios Florida Escape Theme Park. If you're trying to get your bearings Universal's Royal Pacific Resort Hotel is located at 6300 Hollywood Way. Hey pet lover's this hotel accommodates your furry little friends, and has awesome room service.

Be sure to utilize some of the great amenities both on property and in room to keep you at ease during your stay. From concierge, to fitness facility, game room and airport shuttle service, this hotel has what you need. If you're interested in checking out some other properties in the area, worth mentioning of course, check out the La Quinta Inn of Orlando.

But if you're going to stay in the Universal Studios area, it's probably a good idea to know some of the awesome attractions you can visit. By far one of my favorite rides to go on was the Back to the Future Ride. Ladies and gentleman this is a simulator ride that I walked out of dizzy :) :). The effects from subtle movements of the machine working in perfect harmony with the screens around you and added things like breezes, makes this ride just nuts. One of my less favorite rides was the Jaws ride. The wait in line was ridiculous and the plot of the ride was so obvious it was bordering on boring.

Featured Hotel : Milford Plaza in New York City

When I was a young child I remembered a great little jingle that I heard on the Television for Milford Plaza in New York City. I'll do us all a favor and not try and chime it out, especially here online. Regardless, today's wonderful featured hotel New York City's Milford Plaza offers just about everyone a perfect room and location. Great for romantics as rooms are appointed with clean rooms, location is great for those wanting to be near the World famous shopping and stores and you're right around the corner from Times Square. When I had the joy of staying at the Milford Plaza I took in the show the Producers on Broadway when it starred Mathew Broedrick, but I was able to take in the great new additions and renovations that took place in 1998. The property is located very close to the Hilton Times Square, the Belvedere Hotel and few other great places. Make Milford Plaza Reservations by clicking on the link and you'll find great info about discounted rooms and get a chance to see photos and reviews.
