One of the great romantic movies of all time is Gone with the Wind. And one of its most famous lines, asked by Scarlett O'Hara, is “Where shall I go? What shall I do?” Maybe you feel a little bit like Scarlett when you and your partner try to come up with ways to enhance your romance. We're going to try to help you out with that dilemma in this chapter. There are dozens of ways to make a few hours, days, or weeks radiate with romantic energy. At the same time, it's wise to remember the old adage, “Home is where the heart is.” Couples who want to build a more exciting romantic life together need to start by putting their heart into the process. From there, the rest is easy. Romantic places are all around. (And be sure to check out Appendix A for a state-by-state listing of some wonderful romantic getaways.)
