Special Tips for a Romantic Florida Bed and Breakfast Vacation
If you are planning a romantic
Florida Bed and Breakfast vacation, there are some things you should consider as essential packing items if you want to make your vacation both romantic and memorable. Because a bed and breakfast vacation is meant to be special, if you go to a little extra effort in planning ahead and packing for your trip it can also be extraordinary.
Set the Mood
Today, many
St Augustine bed and breakfast inns provide Wi-Fi access. Because of that, you can listen to music from almost anywhere in the world, and nothing sets the mood better than the right music. Bring your laptop or iPad and a set of portable speakers with you. When you get to your destination, set up your laptop and go to Pandora.com. If you don’t have an account there already, set one up. It is free and takes seconds. Then, you can create up your own radio stations based upon an artist or song you like. Whether classical, rock, rap, country, smooth jazz or new age, Pandora will help you set the mood and let you change it at any time.
Create Your Own Turn Down Service
You know how sometimes in 5 star hotels, the maid sneaks in while you’re out and you find a special mint or chocolate or other decadent indulgence on your pillow at night? Well, you can surprise your partner with a special turn down service of your own making. Pack a few surprises of your choosing so that at the end of each day, just like the maid who sneaks in at a 5 star hotel, you can have a special treat laid out on the pillow to surprise your travel partner.
Don’t Forget the Bubbles
It might be OK to take a shower when you’re in a hurry at home or on the road for business. However, this is not how it is done when you want to add a little romance and spice to your romantic Florida bed and breakfast vacation.
If you book a room with a tub, then you really are missing an opportunity if you fail to plan ahead by bringing along some bubble bath, fragrant bath salts or other add ins to make for a relaxing and delightful bathing experience. This is best enjoyed just prior to bed, along with the music you have already set up and the turn down service you’ve arranged.
It wouldn’t hurt to pack a great scented candle to complete the ambiance for this pleasant experience.
Did I Mention Champagne?
Depending upon your method of travel this is something you may be able to bring along with you, or you can just pick it up at your destination. If champagne isn’t your thing, then a good red or white wine will do. If you don’t drink alcohol consider sparkling grape juice. Forego the beer and hard liquor. That just doesn’t fit in with the mood and vibe we are creating for this trip. You might consider popping the cork and serving up a glass to yourself and your travel partner to enjoy at the time of your luxurious bubble bath. Don’t forget to first chill it down to make sure it heats things up according to plan.
A Card Seals the Deal
Surprise your travel partner by having a special card waiting for them at the point of your arrival. If you can plan ahead, have the card written and sealed in an envelope and mail it in advance with a note to the innkeeper to have the card waiting on top of the bed or other prominent place in the room where your travel partner is sure to find it when you first enter your room.
Your romantic Florida Bed and Breakfast vacation is sure to be a huge hit when you just plan a little bit ahead. If you do it right, your trip will be one that you and your partner will remember for the rest of your lives.
