ATTENTION LOVERS - Valentine's Day is for amateurs. Romantics like me celebrate it every day of the year with the one we love. And the 10 Most Romantic places I'd like to spend Valentine's Day with my lover are:
1- Hawaii: Watching the sun dip behind volcanic mountains and into the Pacific in Maui.
2- Paris: Strolling along the Siene holding hands with a bottle of wine in hand.
3- Venice: Cuddling up in a gondola while being serenaded by our driver.
4- Florence: Enjoying a meal out our favorite restaurant next to the Duomo.
5- Shanghai: Looking out over the world's greatest skyline at night from the rooftop of the Peace Hotel.
6- Maldives: Walking along the hot sugary sand that laps the Indian Ocean.
7- Carmel: Running along the jagged coast that defines this California beauty.
8- Barbados: Looking out over beautiful Crane beach from the terrace of the Crane Resort.
9- Vienna: Rushing up the stairs of the Opera House to catch a classical music performance.
10- Anywhere where your lover is: Because really, does it matter where you are as long as it's with the one you love!
