"We love the Scottish highlands. You're able to find seclusion and just be together. There is something so spiritual in the natural beauty of the area that it offers a wonderful connection to experience that with someone you love. We're never more refreshed as a couple as we are after a visit to the highlands." —Jill Masse Stokes

"What could be more romantic than Paris? Sipping champagne as the sun sets. Sailing down the Seine. Cozy bistros. Delicous wines. Lovely fashions. The only way it would have been better is if I had a honey to take with me." —Carol Davison

"Perhaps weirdly, one of our most romantic vacations was at a cabin in Tettegouche State Park in northern Minnesota in early fall. No one else was around, and we had a canoe and a lake to ourselves...perfect. (And yes, we've been to the Caribbean and Hawaii.)" —Susan Campbell Beachy

"Barbados! You can drive around the entire island in a day and each coast brings you something different. Truly amazing to feel like you and your loved one are the only ones on the island watching the waves approach from a birds eye view!" —Melissa Thompson

"So many, it's hard to choose from, but Cartagena de Indias, Colombia is so romantic! Amazing food, people, sights, and places off the beaten path. I also love that it's not the 'run of the mill' destination like Paris (over-hyped and over-done) or Hawaii (which I love, but not very original)." —Heather Wilson

"We had an amazing week on Little Gasparilla Island, near Venice, FL. It's only accessible by boat—our rented home for a week was exactly what we wanted—no neighbors, the beach on one side of the house, and fishing dock on the other. The sunsets on the Gulf are amazing every night." —Brittany Hugley

"Clifden, West Ireland. Amazing food, people, live music, and stunning views." —Samantha Jones
