Anniversary Vacation Ideas: Warm Spots

• Hawaii : For a unique anniversary travel gift you’ll both remember, the north coast of Kauai has some of the most romantic beaches in Hawaii.

• California : Cozy Carmel, CA is a distance of just 120 miles from San Francisco, and has been one of our favorite spots for a romantic anniversary on the California coast.

• Florida: If you crave fine sand and sunshine, Naples would be one of the top choices for a Florida anniversary vacation on the fine beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

Tips For an Affordable Anniversary Vacation

Keep it simple and relaxing, like sleeping in, going for a long walk by the water, window shopping and enjoying a cappucino in a downtown cafe. Inexpensive, memorable and fun!

Anniversary Getaway Idea No.2: Plan a summer anniversary getaway in Arizona or California (June to August) and you'll discover deep discounts at Phoenix and Palm Springs resorts. Of course, it can get rather hot, but that also means fewer people - you'll get the pool to yourselves, like we did! You can relax, and go for some early morning hikes, tennis or golf.
