I have to agree with most on the statement that romance is not really a place, but a state of mind... it can happen anywhere at anytime, however it surely depends upon the company you're with as well... :lmao:

...trips to expensive jewelry shops...

Hmm.....that in and of itself is pretty romantic if you ask me!

Oh yea...we were talking about diving...

Whoops, you lost me with that one WW. Now I understand why I'm still single! More than one of my SO's preferred more practical things than diamonds, furs or flowers... and I gladly obliged them with food processors, coffee makers, gardening tools, plant identification books, etc! Now I need to find one that considers SCUBA gear to be among the most romantic of gifts!

I'll agree with you all that romance is a state of mind, however, when you think of the place you'd like to be relaxing with your sig-o, what comes to your mind: sharing a hammock on the beach in the Cook Islands sipping a glass of Screaming Eagle, or chuggin' Mad Dog out of a paper bag sitting on that tired naugahide couch on the front lawn?

With a romantic frame of mind, neither Mad Dog nor Screaming Eagle would come to mind.

No single raindrop believes it is responsible for the flood.

Geez, Jamie... how could I miss THIS one?

"Santa Catalina Island, the island of romance, romance, romance." (sung to the tune of 26 Miles, oh it IS the lyric of 26 Miles!).

Well, then, it's rarely worked for me! And I'm sure the two of you want something more erotic... er, ah, I mean exotic.

How about something from Araujo or Harlan Estate instead?

Most romantic setting I have found is on St. Lucia. AND, it was voted the most romantic island in the Carib a couple of years ago. Check out The Hummingbird Resort and Ladera, both near Soufrierre. Diving is awsome, too!

Don't overlook the south end of Puerto Vallarta. The sunsets over Banderas Bay is the best. Lot's of dolphin's and whales. Diving is at Los Arcos.
And I didn't have to drink any Merlot.

Short term solution ... I took Sun's advice and we're off to PV in three weeks. Longer term, I appreciate all the feedback you guys have given and will look forward to more if you feel so inclined.

Good choice!
Dinner at "EL Set" restaurant, on the patio, at sunset. Doesn't get much better.
Great food, good wine list, good service, moderately priced.
I'll look forward to hearing about summer dive conditions, as I was there in February.

We're all dying to hear the answer, Jaime! Wish you both a wonderful trip! Catalina will be here when you two get back. I guess it will be MY turn to buy the champagne.

THE most romantic place? Well, there was this Burger King in Lubbock one time, and they had just mopped the dining room. The floor was not one bit slippery and all the pickles and ice cubes had been neatly swept away by an actual clean-shaven employee.

I'll never forget it.
