Valentines Day 2007 Travel Tips

Posted by Mr. David Miller on 31 January 2007

Valentine's Day comes on February 14th as a traditional day on which lovers express their feelings for each other and give them candy, flowers and others as a gift. Valentine's day was originated in 5th century Rome as a tribute to St. Valentineand the day became famous with romantic love in the high middle ages.

Its very difficult to know when, where, and by whom the very first valentine was written but we do know that the first one was written by Margrey Brew and the another first was written by Charles, Duke of Orleans in 1415 A.D. when he was in London at that time poems was sent by him to his wife in France.

"Wilt thou be mine? Dear love, reply
Sweetly consent, or else deny;
Whisper softly, none shall know,
Wilt thou be mine, love? Aye or no?"


Nowadays, Valentine's Day is celebrating by every one in all over the world because this is not only to pass message someone you love even you can also enjoy with your dear ones.

But let's not forget that Valentine's day in our time is one of the best reasons to travel! What could be better than traveling with your beloved one to a romantic hotel or island and have a great time with the people you love.

The following destinations are surely going to make the perfect romantic holiday:




BANGKOK

Bangkok has a lot to offer for the Valentine's day. During the day, Bangkok might be overwhelming for some but when the sun sets almost all people would agree that the city changes its face completely. There are a lot of ways how to spend a romantic night in the City of Angels.
One of the best ways could be to take a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River where you can enjoy a candle light dinner under a sky full of stars while listening to the soothing sounds of the river.

Besides, London oozes romantic atmosphere and many restaurants make the perfect candle light dinner.
