How to plan the perfect getaway with your partner
There's nothing like a getaway with that special someone to spark romance on a shared adventure. Of course, if not planned properly, such holidays can lead to pandemonium than passion! Here are some essential things to keep in mind that will help in the planning process and will hopefully make for a truly memorable escape.
Consider Joint Needs
Remember, there are two parties involved in this trip so the interests of both must be taken into consideration. This can range from aspects such as the destination to what particular activities to engage in. Even though interests can vary, you can still come up with a plan or itinerary that accommodates both. After all, part of the joy of such a getaway is to share the experience with your partner.
Added to this is the holiday budget which you need to come up with. Sometimes, one person may want to try a full budget trip, while the other would prefer a more indulgent experience. Be realistic about how much you have to spend and see how you both can enjoy the trip; when making the decision it should be reached jointly.
Make an Itinerary
Be it a holiday full or relaxation or recreation, it is a good idea to come up with an itinerary beforehand. This is also an ideal time to research places you can visit as well as to check-out an adventure honeymoon guide if you are after more thrilling activities; remember to factor in added costs including for transport.
Having a clear plan of what you are going to do and which you jointly agree on is bound to help the trip go more smoothly. However, equally important is not to over plan and the need to be flexible while on holiday. Due to last-minute changes, extreme weather conditions or even the need to do something different or spontaneous, your itinerary may have to change; that is totally fine and jointly come up with an alternative plan or thing to do.
Plan Some Surprises
While it is important to involve your partner in the planning process, sometimes you can keep certain things from them; namely putting together a romantic surprise for them when on holiday! An unexpected gesture or surprise will no doubt sweep them off their feet and will make for a lovely moment you can share.

Get Enough Rest
Crankiness can lead to catastrophe for couples on holiday and should definitely be avoided! One of the best ways to do this is to ensure you get proper rest. This can include the days leading up to the trip while travelling and once you have reached the destination. Also, keep in mind aspects such as jetlag especially when flying across different time zones which people feel the effects of in different ways. Make time to get in some quality rest or sleep and maybe even a quick workout to help your body and mind adjust.
Enjoy Time Together
This may seem like an obvious enough point, but sometimes couples can get so caught up in the itinerary they may forget to just enjoy the company of each other. Take time out to relax together, share dreams, hopes and concerns and build a stronger relationship. Added to this, is that couples should find the balance between enjoying the experience and taking all those pictures and videos of their trip for themselves or to post online; don't forget to live in the moment too away from the camera / camera phone lens and make memorable memories together.
