Spring is here (in the Northern hemisphere anyway!) and the travel bug is giving you itchy feet! Time to get away...but where?
Here's some food for thought on the best romantic travel destinations in May 2012 for getaways and honeymoons.
If your planning a trip to Europe, May is one of the best months of the year...
Amsterdam in May
Spring is a fine time to be in Holland and enjoy a romantic Amsterdam Vacation. The tulips are in full bloom, the weather is warming up nicely, and lots of displays and cultural shows are kicking into gear.
While Amsterdam is not cheap by North American standards, it is probably one of Europe's more affordable cities. And a May vacation in Amsterdam is good for another reason - the summer rush doesn't come for another month yet.
Alaska Cruise
May is one of the best months to go on an Alaska cruise. The season is just starting up, and many of the ports of call will be enjoying their last few minutes of peacefulness before the summer rush.
If you're wondering what to expect for weather on an Alaska cruise in May, it should be sunny and dry with daytime highs of about 55 F.
