Let’s face it: for people who like to travel, sometimes the sweetest thing to do is to leave your everyday cares at home and go someplace new and different and exciting and fun. Combine that with Valentine’s Day and you have a perfect excuse to head for the airport with someone you love. Here are some destination ideas from your favorite ride to and from airport terminals around the country, GO Airport Shuttle.
Experience a New England-style Valentine’s celebration using either Boston or Portsmouth, New Hampshire as a base. Boston adapts quite well to the colder temps of February with warm arctic alcoves and private igloo dining, plus cozy Italian eateries and Irish pub crawls. Throw in a cobblestone-walk history tour of the old town area and Boston could be just the break you need.
Looking for warmer hugs? New Orleans could provide a double celebration. Valentine’s Day is Friday this year, so a weekend in ‘Nawlins could be tough to beat. The beignets, the coffee, the jazz. Add in a Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras’ (every Tuesday through February) and your valentine will be refreshed and smiling for months to come. (Luckily, it’ll also be the week AFTER Super Bowl LIX, so the super crowds will be gone.) Interestingly, a British tour company just recently ranked the Top Ten Dopamine-Boosting Vacation Spots in the world (dopamine being a natural mood booster stimulating more joyful experiences) and New Orleans was the only city in the U.S. to make the list. So enjoy everything it has to offer. They don’t call it the Big Easy for nothing!
Winter seems a lot colder this year, doesn’t it? Perhaps, a journey as far south in the U.S. makes sense. Using Miami as a starting point brings a lot of romantic getaway spots into consideration. Miami, of course, offers a tremendous hot Valentine vibe. From romantic restaurants and music venues, to evening beach walks and dinner cruises, and dance clubs, Miami can deliver big time.
For the adventurous, warm-blooded Valentine, think about passport-free Puerto Rico. They proudly talk about PR as perfect for nature lovers, sun lovers, city lovers, food lovers and music lovers, etc. So much love! And if you and your Valentine really want to get away from it all, head for the little island OFF the island, Culebra’ and its world famous Flamingo Beach. You can wash away a lot of worries in the waters of the Caribbean.
Don’t forget about the typical big city spots to cuddle up with your sweetheart. New York, Chicago and San Francisco really know how to provide romantic experiences for Valentine twosomes. Each city offers a multitude of cultural experiences as well: theater, art, museums, comedy and music. Plan ahead early to get reservations at all the great restaurants you’ve read about and would love to enjoy. You’ll be going nonstop to get everything in.
The list goes on and on for favorites romantic getaways: Santa Barbara, Catalina Island, Lake Tahoe, Palm Springs, even Walt Disney locations in either Florida or California. Wherever you go to celebrate Valentine’s Day 2025, get off to a good start. Call GO Airport Shuttle. For parties of two or larger, we can’t be beat.
