Of course, the best spontaneity takes a little planning. Start with a getaway bag packed and ready to go as you’re swept away on your journey. What should you pack? For practical purposes, you’ll need the usual toiletries and grooming items, but consider some intriguing incidentals:

• A Toast to Romance – Bring something bubbly or not. Whatever your drink of choice, tuck one in your tote bag with two romantic glasses, like champagne flutes. On arrival, just pour and watch things heat up.
• To Set the Stage – Select a seductive scent – whatever appeals to you both and will set the mood for the adventure you’re planning. Fragrant candles and lotions are a wonderful way to get the weekend’s festivities started.
• The ABCs of Romance – (a.k.a. Astroglide, Birth Control and Condoms) You’ve thrown off the fetters of the commonplace — not common sense. Sexy, exciting and just this side of naughty. When you want to set off fireworks, Astroglide is the spark. Be sure to add Astroglide to the inside and outside of the condom, not only does it feel out of this world, but it also reduces condom-breaking friction.

Where is your favorite romantic getaway?
