I have mixed feelings about Valentine's Day. It has always seemed so contrived and artificial, why do we need a day to tell our significant others that we love them? On a personal level, throughout our nearly decade long relationship, my partner and I have attempted many Valentine's Day surprises, which almost always have failed. You would honestly think flower companies would be able to successfully deliver flowers on their biggest day of the year, but not so much.

Regardless of my antipathy towards Valentine's Day, I am a romantic at heart and we have had countless times throughout our travels that were perfect romantic moments. Here is my favourite...

Lana'i - It's hard not to find romance in Hawaii. It's the honeymoon champion for a reason, after all. While I do love Oahu and Waikiki, for a more secluded and private experience, take the quick flight to the small island of Lana'i. Lana'i does not suffer from modern day distractions, rather it is the perfect place to relax and be with your loved one. Our favorite romantic moment was oddly enough on a golf course. We were on the 12th hole at the Challenge at Manele Golf Course and we stopped to admire the breathtaking views while spinner dolphins frolicked in the distance. It was one of those perfect moments when everything just seemed right in the world.

It was my dream a couple of days ago...hope this will become true...and will be my fresh moments for ever...<3<3<3<3 lov u Duh


I love Valentine's Day. Even though I'm single it's great seeing all these lovey-dovey people. And making fun of them.

Why do clubs only play love songs on Valentine's Day??? I mean even if I'm with my girl, we go to a club to dance right?
