Recently I was asked this question and thought I’d share it with my readers here on the blog..

Can someone help with vacation ideas?

“Ok so my boyfriend and I are looking for a slightly romantic vacation to go on to celebrate our 1 year. We have a very limited budget, probably about 700 for a vacation, is there anywhere within about 5-8 hours of Kansas City that could be moderately romantic for that price? Or any other cheap vacation ideas?”

Remember that a romantic getaway is all about spending time together. When you see, do or share new thing together that draws you closer together. Here are some day trips I found in that area. You could go one place or go on a road trip together for very little money.

Olathe – Go to the Mahaffe Stagecoach Stop and Farmstead and experience life from the 1860’s.

Chilllicothe Region – Visit: the home of Walt Disney, an Amish Community, home of J.C. Penny. Mormon Heritage Sites, home of General Pershing and the Locust Creek Covered Bridge.

Excelsior Springs, MO – Spend some romantic time soaking in the healing natural springs of Excelsior Springs

Atchison, KS- Getting scared is always romantic. Try clinging to each other at Atchin one of the nation’s most haunted places. Take a haunted tour on the Atchison Trolley. Visit the Evah C. Cray Museum a very haunted place.

You could always do a stay vacation where you turn off your phones, order in dinner and relax together doing the things that you enjoy together but never have the time.

I know that there are many things that you can do to help with jet lag. The main ones that I recommend are:
• Get lots of sleep for several nights before your trip
• Drink plenty of water
• Get up and move on long flights
• Allow yourself time to relax when you get to your destination
• Travel first class where you can lay down and sleep

Travel is an amusing way to see, do and experience new things. You can get full advantage of what each place has to offer but in a fun way. For a fun and unique travel experience, share it with others who share your enthusiasms or life experiences. Travel can be entertaining and exciting for any age and travel style. These days, loads of diverse and appealing itineraries are available that appeal to travelers in quest of a classic and extraordinary destinations. Whether you take pleasure in cruise ships, all-inclusive hotels, train adventures or backpacking across less-traveled routes, a variety of amazing and unusual travel ideas are available to choose from.

Are you looking for something entertaining and exploratory to accommodate the whole family?  You may want to consider a camping vacation. Hiking, swimming, camping, fishing and sports are a few of the most familiar activities to take pleasure in during a family camping trip. There are a great number of resorts which offer extraordinary, seasonal and themed activities that would  make each destination unique.

I don’t know about you but I really love to go to exotic places. I like to stay in hotel and dine in restaurants that are unique or provide a different experience.
I always thought that staying somewhere really different would be fun. Some of my places to stay and see on my bucket list are:
• The Ice Hotel, Sweden or Ice Hotel in Canada
• White Cliffs underground hotel, Australia
• Cappadocia Cave Suites, Turkey or Gamirasu Cave Hotel, Turkey
• Palacio De Sal Salt Hotel, Bolivia
• Sand Hotel in Dorset, UK
• Water bungalow in Bali
• Ashford castle, Ireland or Chateau Ten Berghe, Belgium
• Vertical Horizons Tree House Lodge, Oregon
• Tree House Hotel in Costa Rica
• A Capsule Hotel in Japan
• A luxury hotel in Dubai
• Poseidon Undersea Resort, Filji or Hydropolis Underwater Hotel, Dubai
