Summer is a time to love.  The sun shines at its best, school is out, shaved ice is for sale, the water feels warmer, and vacations are planned.  What's not to love?  'Tis the season where many feel free, for they have more freedom and time to enjoy daily life.  Even if one's work schedule remains the same, the days are greater, as the sun shines longer, providing an increased amount of daylight to enjoy.  Nights are also extra wonderful, as they are all the more romantic.  At night, the air can be comfortably warm.  If you're lucky enough, you'll be able to embrace the little cicada bugs, as they instill a spirit of unity between civilization and nature; we are all breathing in the world.

The vacation destination is dependent upon: the couple's combined interests; the amount of money each has to spend; and, the time they can afford to leave from work, summer school, or any other responsibility.  If you're an outdoorsy couple, you may enjoy camping or a trip to see the Grand Canyon.  Basically, anything beautiful in which the couple has not seen is a great idea.  On the contrary, those who dislike porta-potties and tents should seek to find some great hotels at destinations with enjoyable indoor and outdoor activities.

Aside from the obvious, there are various destinations that I would highly recommend due to the experience I've
