loungers, tell me about your ideal romantic getaway

[fizzgig]

elrond hubbard and i have a rendezvous planned in nyc in a few weeks. it's always been a dream of mine to spend time in the city with someone who is very special to me.

so, loungers, tell me. where would you go and why? be it with someone you were gonna meet for the first time, a new flame or a long-time love.

1. Maybe go to NOLA

or to DC or even to Nashville... or somewhere in Virginia or North Carolina

or Oregon or Washington, or Ft. Collins Colorado :P

:shrug:

it would depend on the person of course

but right now I'd lean towards somewhere with water or mountains.

;)

2. the pac nw is awesome

3. side-by-side penny slot machines in the golden nugget!!!

[fizzgig]

5. i had a wonderful weekend in vegas once

:D

[kid a]

7. i like vegas...the wynn, especially

i had to go to the golden nuggat last weekend for a brief meeting - the smoke was horrendous!
i was just joking around...i like secluded beaches with western views, incredibly tasty meals, and crisp, high count cotton sheets on top of soft pillow mattresses.....ahhhhhh, thats what i like.

24. Vegas is a great place.

Take in a show like Zoomanity, restaurants, gambling, fantastic hotel rooms. My wife and I love going to Vegas.

4. I've lived and worked in places that many would probably

see as the kind of ideal 'romantic' spot they'd like to go with their love, and there's no question that some of the attributes of those locations appeal tremendously to me (though also in just an inherent way). The reality, for me, is that the ideal romantic getaway is to be with the woman I love, wherever that may be and whatever we may or may not be doing. The location and just about everything else are largely irrelevant. Love is pretty much transcendent...if it's a nice spot, so much the better, but if we were to meet in the middle of an ugly, hot, stinky steel mill the greatest sparks would be those between us and nothing else, in that moment, would matter.

I hope that you two have a wonderful time. I know you will. :hug:

[fizzgig]

6. nail on the head, man

and wonderfully put

and thank you :hug:

8. I stayed in Times Square last year

A wonderful place. I was outside at 2am and got a great hot dog from a vendor.

NYC Rocks.

[fizzgig]

9. it's one of my favorite places

ever :)

[LeftyMom]

10. I'd get a cabin in the coast range with a very nice kitchen and nobody'd hear from us for a week.

That would be nice.

[fizzgig]

12. a good kitchen would be essential

and the coast range? i'm not familiar with that area

[LeftyMom]

27. It's hilly with cool sea breezes and redwoods. Very nice.

:thumbsup:

[fizzgig]

29. ooooh

[bridgit]

:thumbsup:

[Fleshdancer]

15. If money wasn't an option???

I would love to stay here: http://www.pangkorlautresort.com/estates_intro.htm

From the site:
The island itself is already well-known as the location of the world renowned Pangkor Laut Resort, a destination that has drawn critical acclaim since it was created in the nineties.

The Resort is a beautifully rustic enclave that provides five star luxury within a two million year-old rain forest, and includes the award-winning Spa Village; a spa that combines the healing arts of India, China and Malaysia into a therapeutic offering that was voted by the readers of Conde Nast as being the world's best.

I feel more relaxed just looking at the pictures.

[fizzgig]

31. oh wow

that looks wonderful

[LostInAnomie]

16. Hedonism II

Pure romance

[lost-in-nj]

17. I don't know

maybe to the beach for those long walks and sunsets or sunrises...

I have never been on a train, maybe a train trip through Alaska or the west
would be cool.

Have fun!!!

NY can be very romantic to.... :)


lost

[fizzgig]

32. the beach would be nice

i prefer the pacific coast, but i wouldn't complain either way

and i've always wanted to take the california zephyr, the scenery would be amazing

[greymattermom]

18. Great Barrier Reef

I went on a cruise to the Great Barrier Reef alone about 10 years ago. It was fantastic. Snorkeling, glass bottom boat, remote beaches. I'd like to go again with my husband (of 37 years).

[fizzgig]

33. i hope you two can make it

that sounds wonderful

[xchrom]

19. a cruisey gay bar in paris.

[fizzgig]

34. that sounds like it could be a lot of fun

[xchrom]

46. lol -- the operative phrase there is ''a lot''. n/t

[Inchworm]

20. Well first I'd dress up like a pirate...

After that I'd abscond with the queen of all things beautiful. O8)

Umm, once we are together, I have no preference as long as we are together enjoying each other. This would last for some time; after which, I would spirit her back to her life. We'd then continue to proceed as planned before the getaway.

*sigh*

:loveya:

[fizzgig]

35. you had me at pirate....

;)

[wildhorses]

21. memphis in the meantime --

paris when i could afford it.

:hi:

[fizzgig]

36. i hadn't thought of memphis

i don't now much about it, but would love to see it some day

[datasuspect]

22. the nite owl motel on route 9 bypass

about 3 miles from the landfill and the polystyrene resins processing plant.

they have clean towels.

the dew drop inn lounge is across the highway.

[fizzgig]

37. you gotta have clean towels

[RFKHumphreyObama]

23. In the unlikely event that I find someone who'll love me

I think it would probably depend on what we like doing together when we plan a romantic getaway ...what our interests and tastes are.

BTW, I hope you and Elrond enjoy NY. I stayed in Manhattan a few years when I visited the US and I thoroughly loved every moment

[fizzgig]

38. that's partly how we picked the city

we both love it there. and thank you

[flvegan]

25. Playboy Mansion...Hef's out of town, the bunnies aren't

Just kiddin'. I'd probably opt for a couple weeks at Necker Island.

[fizzgig]

39. i wouldn't say no to a few weeks there

that's beautiful

[Deep13]

26. Long weekend at Quaker Sq. hotel in bed watching movies. nt
