10th anniversary getaway, suggestion

[hemi68charger]

Hey gang,
Looking for suggestions for a nice getaway for Kim and I for our 10th wedding anniversary. Googles the typical places like Vegas, New York, etc. We both like mountains, antique shopping, etc. Want something close to an airport. It'll be a weekend gig leaving on a Friday. I'm at a loss on knowing where to look or trust. We like a nice resort/hotel with things to do while we're there; sightseeing, dining, shopping with walking distance.

Make friends with a travel agent.  They could put you in some unique places for a reasonable price.

Troy, do you really want to fly somewhere? I hate flying these days and Houstons' big airport or even Hobby is a big hassle now.

You could get a nice room for yourselves at the Omni Hotel at the Colonnades on the NW side of San Antonio (about 2 miles outside Loop1604 @ the Wurzbach exit) for a very reasonable rate (around 109 a night plus fees) and be within walking distance of numerous eateries and shopping. Boerne is just a 10 minute drive up I-10 and lots of nice shops and eateries there.

Think about it and look into the Omni rates there vs down on the Riverwalk. Of course, that area has all you want and is a driving option too.

San Diego.

Great town, lots to do, the USS Midway is a must see, then the coast, drive out to the desert mountains. Visit Ramona, Julian, Balboa, Laguna, the Del. Check out Stone Brewery in Escondido. The Fish House Vera Cruz in San Marcos. Great vacation.

Sedona Arizona, Palm Springs or Aspen Colorado.

Boston, if you like history.

San Diego is a great suggestion.  Check out the Crown City Inn on Coronado Island.  It's a remodeled motor inn.  Not Fancy, but, clean, cozy and a few blocks from the beach.  About $110/night ten years ago.  A taxi will get you over the bridge to downtown and the Gas Light district.   You could spend a nice evening on Coronado as well.

My wife & I went on a week's cruise to Bermuda for our 10th. One of the best vacations we've ever been on.
Not exactly a weekend getaway, but you could look into shorter 3 or 4-day cruises. In the grand scheme of things it was actually affordable.

I do not have a suggestion where to go, just nothing by Carnival Cruise. 

[bill440rt]

Right!
Go Royal Carribean.

I didn't know you had to get away for your 10 th       I guess I owe my wife a getaway   she probably wouldn't come back

I'd like to plan a long weekend with Submit sometime  in the near future. My plan is to fly to northern CA, rent a car & start driving south. Things to see would be the Redwood forest, San Francisco, Pacific Coast Highway, Hearst Catle & end up in LA to see Venice Beach and/or Hollywood. 4 or 5 days would do it for me.

[ACUDANUT]

Right!
Go Royal Carribean. 

That's what we are doing on our 15th. Go R.C....Disney is boring and that mouse stole every dollar I had.

Try the Ozarks in MO.  Some nice places lots of antiques beautiful scenery and you could fly into springfield MO in no time.

My suggestion: STAY HOME! Let the wife get her hair and nails done, let her go shopping at Victorias Secret, buy a bottle of wine and box of dark chocolates, light a fire, anddddddddd......................................remember why you got married! 


(Then with all the money you saved, buy HER a mopar!)

Best advice so far

I never know what to get as an anniversary gift because my wife doesn't want anything. We also don't travel much other than to go visit dying people before they die. We have more frequent flier miles saved up this way than we do for fun. If I had to pick a destination as a suggestion, I'd just choose a place that doesn't have an elderly or sick relative living there to avoid ruining your anniversary trip if they die while you're visiting.

Now if you do what mrsskip suggests & stay at home, I do know what NOT to get each other as a gift based on the fact that my Mom & Dad ended up divorced.

Don't get any of these things.......

Double Chin Remover

This exercise device promises to help your sweetie get rid of her double chin and her unsightly neck folds. Make sure to point out to her just how many of her imperfections your gift will help clear up. Your wife will appreciate your thoughtful anniversary present! PRO TIP: bundle this nonsurgical face lift with some diet pills or perhaps a membership to a weight loss club. This is going to be an anniversary present she will never forget!




Shirt Bib

What better way to tell your lover that he is well past his prime by buying him a bib to catch the drool from his toothless mouth. Your man will love you for this thoughtful anniversary present! If he even knows what day it is.

Your overweight spouse will appreciate this innovative way to lose weight. No more of that yo yo dieting.

PRO TIP: as a nice love game on your anniversary you can practice drawing on her abdomen where the incisions will go with a felt marker - very sexy!




Hairy Lips

Is your wife sporting a moustache? Do you find it repulsive to kiss her hairy lips. Don't worry. She probably just hasn't noticed how much she has let her appearance slip. A helpful hint may help your hirsute wifey get back to being presentable. Buy her this effective lip hair remover.
