Fun vacation ideas

[answersguy]

I booked an extended weekend getaway for my girlfriend and I at a nice hotel on the beach in florida and I told her about it last night (we leave friday). I'm looking for any fun romantic ideas for the beach or the sandestin area. I want to make her feel special and truly loved.

I'm in Florida...sandestin area?? I'm afraid I've never heard of that. Where exactly are you going?

I'm from North Florida, and I assume you'll be near the Destin, Seaside, and Ft. Walton beaches. You'll be on the "Emerald Coast" - very pretty beaches there.

 

So, I'd just do a lot of beach walking, or even rent a couple of bikes and take some leisurely tours around where you'll be staying.

 

You could pack a picnic for either!

Ahhhh...Destin...derrrrr....anyways, it's around spring break time so there will be loads of parties going on up there. You've chosen a great time to come, if you're into that, and you're not all that far from Orlando and Tampa. You know, the theme park central. Disney, epcot, universal, sea world, busch gardens, adventure island, islands of adventure.

 

Just have fun man.

Ha, nothing spells romance like a good old spring break booze up. Chugalugs, frat boys and wet tshirt parties totally put the girl in the mood.

Theme parks? (endless lineups, over the top commercialism, crappy food, crowds, tourists, screaming kids, overpriced rides)

 

I'm with the poster "scout" - rent some bikes, go on picnics and find a secluded beach somewhere. How about rent a boat or something? No, not a paddle boat, a yaught and go for an open ocean ride. Scuba diving?

You never know Clementine...a dream of theirs may be to someday be on one of those "Girls Gone Wild...Spring Break" Videos. Takes all sorts to make this wonderful world go round.

Maybe you're right, I just didn't picture 'girls who immortalize on video tape for the entire world to see, the baring of their breasts on command from a bunch of drunken yahoos (in a desparate plea for attention)' to be the romantic type however now that I've thought about it, maybe they are the ones who need true romance the most.

Yep, Sandestin is about 10 miles east of destin, it's more secluded, more expensive and most of the resorts are 25+. The only reason I bring up the price and age limit for the area is because they are two reasons I don't expect to see many high school and college spring breakers.

okay cool, I definitely think Scout is on to some good ideas.
