I have known my boyfriend, Jimmy Vannauker since fifth grade. However, we had not seen each other since high school. February 2011 he reconnected on facebook. Since then we have been dating and falling in love. We have made trips across country to see each other. For Valentine’s Day 2012, he had to decide between floor seats at a basketball game or coming to be with me. He came to California and spent 5 amazing days. We celebtrated Vday on February 13 in San Francisco and it strengthened our relationship and was the most amazing VDay for both of us in way too many years.
Two years ago, my best friend and now husband of 14 days (just married this past Valentines day!), went on our first trip together, without our children. It was our 10 year (unmarried) anniversary. We spent 6 amazing days on the Riviera Maya at a beautiful resort. We rented a car, visited a cultural park, swam with dolphins, shopped the seaside plazas, danced the nights away, and ended each night laughing and reminiscing under the stars on the beach. The sand felt like butter between our toes! We reconnected and fell more in love thanks to that magical vacation in paradise!
I remember taking my love to a local burger joint and just eating and talking away, no stress of life, no burden of chores, just living for today and smiling for tomorrow.
He was visiting the US from the UK; knowing he had to return made our time pass too quickly when we were together, too slowly when apart. When he left, the summer seemed to turn cold. Weeks later, he suggested we reunite on my first trip to Paris. I would see the City of Light AND the man I loved! We explored the city’s tastes, sights, and sounds before another dreaded departure. I love you, I said. Thanks for a great weekend, he replied. He and I had shared a season but I would love Paris for a lifetime.
My husband and I took a very romantic vacation to Paradise Island, Bahamas. The sand there is unlike any I have ever seen or felt. The water is so clear that you can see your feet even when you are completely immersed in the water. That was the start of a beautiful relationship. We are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this year. Later this year, we will be cruising to Bermuda in honor of our silver anniversary. May all of you have a long and happy marriage!
Went to Bahamas to a remote island. Very quaint. Tried to scuba dive, but found I couldn’t go that deep! Too painful(inner ear imbalance)! Stayed in cute cottage with ceiling fans only. It rained the WHOLE time, but I LOVED that! Fell in love with a native there and had a “love connection” on the pink sandy beach! Ate dinner on the island’s point watching the sunset. The only taxi was a Volkswagen bus! Lifetime memory!
Traveling is literally our love story. We met at a summer job in theatre, were together for 6 wonderful weeks, and then I moved to Indiana. When he moved to Las Vegas for work, I helped him and his family( who I had never met! Imagine meeting the parents for the first time on a 27 hour long car ride!) road trip from Chicago to Vegas to move him in, and stayed only for two weeks. In the nine months we’ve been together, we’ve seen each other for 3 of those months, due to traveling cross country to be together. Finally, enough was enough and I moved to Vegas and we now work at the same place. We still travel, mostly to National Parks since we’re both still enamored with the west’s landscape (we’re both from the midwest). I’d love to surprise him with a trip somewhere, for the first time it not ending in us having to leave each other at the end!
i’ve known this friend over 20 yrs we decided to take a trip together to vegas. he had never been there. he didnt want to fly by his self. so i decided to make this a romantic trip. he lives in minnesota i am in wisconsin. i made our reservations so i flew into mn surprised him our seats were together.he was so happy. then i made suprise arrangements for a limo to drive us around vegas on the strip he was elated!when we got to the airport the limo driver had his name held up to follow him he had no ideal why he was following this guy and how the driver knew his name.when we got to the limo he was surprised had tears in his eyes.he never saw vegas and he kept saying looks just like on tv!we had a beautiful time in vegas. not sure whats going to happen next but we are planning another trip
LAST YEAR MY SWEETIE AND I VENTURED TO MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. AND SPENT A FEW DAYS THERE. IT WAS FANTASTIC. NOW I KNOW TO SOME FOLKS MYRTLE BEACH MIGHT NOT SOUND LIKE THE IDYLLIC VACATION SPOT BUT FOR US IT WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES. WE SHOPPED FOR OURSELVES AND FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE ENJOYED THE BEACH. WE DINED AT THE FINEST RESTAURANTS. IT WAS A BLAST. HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET TO GO THERE AGAIN THIS YEAR. MY SWEETHEART HAS A CRAZY WORK SCHEDULE AT TIMES, BUT HEY IF THINGS DO WORKOUT ABOUT WORK, WE WILL BE BACK ON THE GRAND STRAND AGAIN THIS YEAR. GOD BLESS!!!
I met my husband, Terry, on a blind date when I came up to Wa. to visit my kids in Feb, 2009. My daughter rides with Christian Motorcycle Assoc. & so does my husbands sister, Corky. Terrys wife & my husband died in 2006. Corky introduced us a week before I flew home. We hit it off right away & I extended my vacation a week to see more of Terry. I came back a month later for a week & we decided to move in together. I went back home & quit my job at Disneyland & moved up May 1st. We got married Aug. 23rd. Terry got me in to see his polio doctor who has me to where I am walking, now can walk a mile & half & haven’t had to use my wheelchair since I have moved up here.
Meet mu husband 33 years ago Feb 16th, 1979. We were together in my sister/ his brothers wedding. I was Maid of honor and he was Best Man we were love at first site. Two years later we were married and have been inseparable ever since. Not too often sister marry brothers.
My husband Barry brings me coffee every morning and I pack his lunch every day we love to travel. Currently we have a son that lives in Florida and a daughter and grandchildren that live in Conneticut. We travel somewhere every month at least. My husband is my best friend and love of my life!
I visited San Antonio Texas in 1972 and fell in love with the city. I watched the lovers being taken down the river in boats and was enthroned with the many restaurants overhanging the cliffs of the river. I was not able to take the river boat ride – but have dreamed about it for these many years.
I now have someone in my life with whom I would love to take that romantic gondola ride with.
We have to be in my most romantic city in the world on April 11-14′ 2012- but do not have the plane fare.
I would love to have my “dream come true”
Helen Specter
Once upon a time….. hmmmm, I only dream of a travel love story that starts like that. You know the kind where you shut your eyes and see the two of you laughing, walking the beach hand in hand, having a romantic dinner and looking at the person in the plane seat next to you and he is there with you. While I have traveled around the US for different occasions its never been romantic. However, now I have a wonderful man that I would love to travel with. We truly deserve a romantic getaway together. We never dreamed after 10 years of last seeing each other that we would ever get the chance to rekindle our friendhsip and romance and we have! Its an amazing story and getting to fly away and create our travel love story would make our dreams come true! …and they lived happily ever after …….
My fiance and I have a relationship built on travel. He was a West Point Cadet when I met him. I was in school in Boston. Weekends off we were always on the road traveling from Boston to New York to visit each other. We graduated days apart and took off on a month long trip to Europe. It was the best time of our life and we got to be with one another for a month straight! Things got more distant upon our return when he went to officer training school in Georgia and we took week long trip to see the east coast together and drive him out there. We spent about 4 months apart when he was again moved to another training school in Oklahoma. Again we trucked through America stopping along the way and enjoying life together. After living in Oklahoma he was stationed in Germany. He left on a cold winter day and months later I visited him. Again we traveled through Europe when he had the time off. Last May he was deployed to Afghanistan on a very sad day for me. This May I was waiting in Germany for his return! We picked up right where we left off and traveled together on weekends. My parents came to visit for a month and I said goodbye for what seemed like the 1,000 time in our relationship and my parents and I traveled through Europe.
When I returned my guy had a big plan. He wasn’t going to say goodbye again. He told me had a planned a trip to Paris for the two of us. We spent a magical week seeing all the Parisian sights and trying all the amazing food. On a drizzilie fall night we got all dressed up and made our way to dinner. After dinner he lead me under an umbrella to the Arch De Triampf. We spent time talking and enjoying the view. At midnight the Eifel tower went off in the background for it’s last light show of the night. When I looked down my now fiance was on one knee asking me to marry him. It was the perfect proposal and an amazing romantic weekend I will never ever forget!
I was 17 and he was 21 when we were married. As a young married couple living from pay check to pay check we dreamed of traveling. We took several family vacations over the years but for our 25th Anniversary we dreamed of Hawaii and my sweetie made it happen. What a romantic and relaxing place to go. My favorite part of the day was sitting on the beach eating a picnic and watching the sunset. I would go back anytime! We celebrate 35 years this year!!
I HAVE NO LONG STORY TO WRITE BECAUS I HAVE NO GIRLFRIND, NO WAIF BUT I LIKE THAT IS NOT MY FOULT ALL LADYS ARE LOOKING FOR RICH MEN IM NOT RICH I THANK THAT IS WAY I DONT HAVE A LADY THAT WILL STAY WITH ME.BUT I LIKE LADYES I LIKE THIS DAY. VALENTINE’S DAY IS A DAY OF LOVELY PEOPLE BUT THAT IS NOT THE END MY LIFE. ONE DAY I WILL GET MAIN. THANK YOU TO GIVING ME A CHANCE TO SAY SOMTHING ABOUT MYSELF ON THIS ROMAINTIC DAY.
My husband is an alcoholic, so when he said he booked us a trip to Cabo San Lucas at an all-inclusive resort for our 20th anniversary, I dreaded the potential ramifications. Unlimited food, unlimited alcohol.
But despite my dread, I was determined to enjoy myself and make the best of whatever bad might happen.
Magically, nothing bad happened. We are apart so much during most of our typical days, there’s plenty of time for my husband to drink undetected. But on our anniversary trip, we were together 24/7 and although there were drinks, they were slow and measured and monitored. We were so busy enjoying the resort, the scenery and each other, it was like the old days when we were first married and there was no drinking problem. What a joy to travel, not only to a wonderful new location, but back in time as well.
I met my husband on the beautiful island of Barbados, he stood there dark skin with black wavy curls and standing 6ft tall. My father was against the relationship, island girls did not date military men he said. My first date was like a fairy tale you only read about in romance novels or watched on the big screen at the movies. He asked me to have lunch with him, a surprise lunch, he picked me up from work and drove to a small park just outside the harbor where all the visiting cruise ships docked while visiting the island. The park was beautiful with a large variety of summer flowers blooming all around, hibiscus, boganvilas, roses giving of a smell of tranquility. We sat and he opened a picnic basket laid a flower table cloth on the luscious green grass, a bottle of wine, salad and BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) sandwiches her had prepared himself, he then brought out of the basket a bouquet of red roses and handed them to me. We ate and I fell in love with at that moment, he had taken time out of his busy life to think about me, to surprise me, he smiled and we talked for what seemed like forever, I was relax, happy and looking forward to being with him again. I married that Marine 27 years now, he still surprises me and picnics is still one of our favorite things we do together, the difference we do it all over the world together,

Bill & I wanted to be married by a female pastor who was not yet fully ordained on Feb 18, 1989. She told us we had to be married by a judge first in order for our marriage to be valid. The Judge had time at 6:00 PM on Wed, we said OK. We didn’t realize Wednesday was Feb 14, Valentines Day. We were married secretly on Feb 14 by the Judge and again had the ceremony on Feb 18 with Friends & Family present. Our honeymoon was in Cancun, Mexico and we brought my 7 year old daughter, Amie. We purchased Timeshares so we could always travel on our anniversary. Due to the loss of my job and the economy downturn, we have lost our timeshares because we were unable to pay the maintenance fees or sell the timeshares. I would be so happy to win this contest and take my now 77 year old hunny on a real vacation in honor of our 23rd Anniversary.
I take my daughter to Disney World as much as I possibly can. SHe loves it and loves making it only me and her so it can be Mom and Julia memories. Well, she likes make her list of activities and which parks we are going to for each day and of course the rides we will go on whether I like it or not! So, when we went two years ago, we made as many character restaurant reservations we possibly could, especially the Castle. dI love watching her face glow when the fairy godmother and cinderella come out. Then, of course my daughter has finally talked her mommy into surpassing the Goofy’s Barnstormer (mini roller-coaster), and going going on Expedition Everest and Thunder Mountain Railroad. She had a blast wathching her mom scream amd turn red and hold on with one hand because I was holding on to my reading glasses with the other. She couldn’t get enough and said can we go again? I started laughing then, I needed to recuperate. The memories of that year are still so vivid and will last a lifetime.
I met him on the 4th of July and afterwards i couldn’t get enough. My friend and I were taking one of our last week long trips to Ocean city Maryland and he was going that same week. We invited him and his buddy to stay with us and the first night they arrived we didnt even go to sleep we walked the beach and talked until sunrise. The rest of the week was wonderful.. Sleeping all day on the beach, playing music on the boardwalk, burying one another in the sand, and floating down the coast. We’ve been together a year and a half now and I love him with all my heart.
I take my only child/daughter, to Disney World as much as I possibly can on a single mom’s income, so when we go we make as many reservations to restaurants as possible. Then, my daughter makes her agenda for the parks and which rides we are going on whether Mommy wants to or not. I, of course am petrified of roller-coasters but two years ago after only going Goofy’s Barnstormer (a mini rollercoaster), I went on Expedition Everest and had the time of my life while I screamed and my kid laughed her butt off. Then she took me on Thunder Mountain Railroad, and boy that was quite a ride. She laughed even harder. We made some magical and amzing memories that year while she got her Mother to do things I thought I would never do, and I go to see her face glow when she had meals and took pictures with the characters. Especially, mickey mouse. We will remember these special trips forever.
A chance meeting in Washington, DC. A planned meeting in New York City. A ferry ride past the Statue of Liberty wrapped in his arms. A stroll through Ground Zero with his hand in mine. A beautiful afternoon in Rockefeller Center. A sultry show on Broadway. A lifetime love that has finally been found. We love New York.

My husband and I was divorced for about 7 and half years. On New Years Eve night 2008 we started dating again. We went to Niagra Falls where were we engaged. In December 2009 we went on an amazing Eastern Carnival Cruise. Most wonderful trip of our lives, where we got close to each other again. A trip that we will never forget. On Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 we were remarried. Which would have been our 20th anniversary. This year we will be celebrating 2 wonderful years of marriage. We love to travel where we spend most of our time together.

Summer. Oregon. I was filming streetbike races and returning to NY. We spoke and I watched him as he intently watched my face. I blinked and the weekend was over. I drove the U-haul back to NY crushed. We stayed in contact. Within a month I exited the plane, the first thing I saw was his grin. Without thinking we kissed. We went skydiving, elk hunting, and ocean fishing that month. I was magnetized by his untamed, stoic nature. The economy and 3,000 miles crushed us. From NY I think of my partner everytime I look at the moon.
submitted our story twice not sure if it worked dont see it published
Our Story began in High School,we were 16yrs.old,1985. We waited til we were 30 yrs.old to get married. Have been married now for 12 yrs. We have two great kids, 11yrs.and 9. With that said, we dedicate our time to them, our home and work, as many others do, and lack time together. So I hope for this gift to get away for some alone time.
This may not sound like an exciting Love Story, but to us its a great gift.
To meet soo young and the divorce rate soo high, we feel blessed.
We still laugh and love each other very much and see our future growing old together..
This is our Love Story…
After 16 months of dating, my boyfriend and I decided to spend our spring break at his grandparent’s in Florida. Being poor college students, we decided to make it a road trip from MA to Fl. We almost canceled because I caught the flu. I managed to kick the worst before we left so we drove straight for 23 hours south. Apparently my germs were incubating in the car for the 23 hours, because half way through the trip, he came down with the flu. After that, I knew we could get through anything.
After my first marriage, I vowed to never marry again.
Fast foward 18 years.
One night I met a stranger online.
We chatted daily, exhanged phone numbers, talked several times a day. After 5 months he asked if I would consider meeting him, we lived 3,000 miles apart. I had never travelled alone or flown.
Nine months later I took my first trip alone to a strange city and fell in love with the man and the city.
I made the move and we were married 5 years after first chatting and couldn’t be happier.
My destination? HOME ~ to visit family!

Our soul mate story started when we met in high school in nov.1985-86, we were just 16 yrs. old…we waited to get married when we where 30yrs. old, have been married now for 12yrs. Have two great kids, 11 & 9..Of course with that said, we are buzy making them, our home, and work our priority, that we just dont have enough time for ourselves, as many others..So I saw this as a shot to maybe win a great get away..I know this may not sound like an exciting love story.. But to us its a blessing!!!
When you meet soo young and the percentage rate of divorce is soo high and we can still laugh and love each other soo much and see ourselves growing old together..
I cant explain a greater feeling of a love story…
THANK YOU
I was only 16 and lived out in the country, and a family friend was taking care of one of my aunt’s home while she was on vacation, and I went to visit with friends, and there he was, he had just come from L.A. to find some work. We had friends in common, that was exciting. As a couple months past by, I had a party at my home and invited all friends to come, and of course he was totally invited personally. Well, after that party we talked, we danced, and a couple days later we started to see more of each other…a year later we get married, we have a beautiful daugther, and started to create wonderful memories in spite of being young and not being financially stable, we have been through some really tough times, but together we have come through….Now we are only a month away from our 25th Anniversary, and we feel very Blessed for all these years we have stuck through and are looking forward to many more years to come….we hope to renew our vows this year and hopefully have a Honeymoon trip…I always say, better late than never….
My husband and I have been married for 26 yrs. I am a Valentine baby so he has always done something beautiful for me. He had a stroke in 2005 and is confined to a wheelchair. We don’t get to go out and dance, etc. but he always trys to do something special whether it’s dinner, a hotel stay (he would like to go back to the islands someday) but he will always be my love no matter where he takes me and we go. We do like to see the country, whether by plane or car. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.
When I was a kid, I always dreamt flying wherever I want to, until I grown-up, I first flew to Bangkok, Thailand, it was amazing trip….I met someone who cared me….he was a gay person……that was my unforgetable memories with him at that time……but now we lost contact each other, I don’t where he is now……I hope I can meet him oneday in Bangkok again…..with my next trip…..hopefully!!!
One of my most memorable travel love story was when my wife and I were married. We spent our three day honeymoon in the Poconos. Our room had heart shaped bed. I’ll never forget the smile and shine on her face as we bathed together in a heart shaped bathtub. Each night we had a romantic dinner. We took romantic walks and rides in paddle boats facing each other as we talked and paddled. A photograper was able to capture some our most prized moments. We were in love then and we are even more in love today.
Hello,
My story is about a dream. I have had a very challenging life. Then at 40 I met my other half. As soon as we met I knew he was the actual “other” half of me.
We talk and dream of going on a vacation together one day, but up until now it just isn’t in the cards for us. So we keep dreaming. I think after 12 years together we can get away and renew our commitments to eachother.
Its a dream…without dreams we have nothing in life……
We met in extreme circumstances. He was recovering from a severely broken heart and me a severely broken leg. He became my encourager and stronghold. I became the moment he waited for each day, a smiling face. We dated for a few months and needed to get away from everything and just be a couple. We boarded a plane after both working all day and traveled to St. Pete Beach arriving at 1:00am we awoke in the morning to one of the most beautiful sunrises. We spent the day on the beach and strolled along the water’s edge and waited for the sunset on the gulf, we fell in love in that moment with beach and with each other. As we sat and waited for the sun to dip below the ocean we capture that moment with a picture and a kiss. Unforgettable.

I went though a rough patch in my life. Trying to take care of two small children and have an abusive and controlling Husband! Times were very dark!
I escaped the nightmare life and met my Now Husband of 9 short years. He has shown me that you can be loved and not controlled or abused. He took my two children into his life and he gives me the upmost attention and love that one needs. We have been struggling to have a baby of our own, for 8 years of trying, no luck! In 2002 He took me to Hawaii for 10 days and showed me that there is life worth living. I would love to go to another island with my Love and share some island time. Maybe with luck have mirical baby!
Jim was an engineer working in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and I was holidaying at the same hotel at Chrismastime. We met on the beach of the Condado Beach Hotel and two days later we were engaged, married in New York City six weeks later, and left for Madrid to begin a lifetime of love and adventure which soon included three children born on three continents in three years. On February 24th we will celebrate our Golden Anniversary and wonder how many people can truly it was love at first sight and are still together after fifty years.
My wife and I met on a Christian site five years ago and gradually became more acquainted as we emailed and spoke on the phone. While still in our 2nd year of knowing, I was suddenly made aware of her church locally that I never knew existed in my country.
A man servant was pointing out to me from a background picture of her church 9,000 miles from my home the fact that he had seen a small sign that had that same name on it. We went to see the sign which was difficult to find.
On the next Sunday morning, I went to the church and met immediately with the speaker for that day who just happened to be The International Director of that church for the whole world.
Later I was relating a few of the important points to my Christian employer at the time and he suddenly stopped me and said,…”I will buy your tickets so you can go to see this woman”. He felt led of the Lord to do so. I was, for a moment, in shock and disbelief. I accepted and in the next month flew to see this woman (A born-again Christian Pastor). A month after I had been in her presence, we were married and it has been 3 years as of this month of February. After 35 years of being single and waiting on the Lord, this woman is my reward. We are in her country still and have planted several churches and seen many miracles. We are still praising God for our lives together with Him as our guide. There are many more miracles in this story that perhaps I will get the chance to relate to all. God bless you all..!!
It begin 27 years ago, I traveled to Fort Campbell, KY from Georgia to visit a friend of mine and her husband. I was introduced to a young man in the Army his name was Brian. We laugh, talked and got to know each other from converstaion in a short time. I had to leave to go back to Georgia and we kept in touch by phone everyday until we saw each other again which was a week. This went on back and forth for a month, my last visit to Fort Campbell he proposed, we rushed off to the justice of peace and were married. After that he got orders to go to Anchorage AK, Fort Richardson Army base, I stayed back for a few months so he could get everything ready for me to fly out. So you see we only knew each other a month and then were separted for 3 months, today was the day, I was on a flight to Anchorage, Ak from Atlanta, GA to see my man, I stepped off the plane and I will never forget that moment of a handsome young man holding a single rose waiting for his bride to be me again….we are still togtether after all these years, we will celebrate 28 years of marriage this year….love story across the miles do exist!
I had just starded dating Pedro when he took me to Cabo Verde, to one of those enormous hotels with loud music,five swimming pools. I hate that.Then he grabed my hand and took me walking to the poor town nearby . In the beach there was a very small restaurant. No one was there except the owner who played an emotional “Morna” in the guitar. Pedro held me tight, and we danced barefoot in the sand, under the sunset. It was the moment we fell in love…

our youngest would be icing on the cake.
Sincerely,
Lynda Gillis
My story is pretty simple, but complicated, about my beloved. We met on a Dating Site. I live in the USA and she lives in Ukraine. We communicate every day through the Internet by letters. It was love at first sight! Both of us can not go a day without hearing from each other. And it even Seems like we are on the same wave length, if you know what I mean. Like are Hearts & Souls are Joined. We even have to use a translating service to communicate. But it doesn’t matter. Even though the miles are so many, This doesn’t matter either. We both are just in wait of the day of our reunion. The cost of flying to Ukraine is holding our Lives & hearts in limbo. I have saved up some money for the Air-fare, but not enough yet. I know the day will come, regardless of cost, or time, when we will be together. She is by far, the “Love of my life”, The Love that I have searched for, for so very long. I feel like she is an angel that God has gave to me! If only we both had wings to fly, Just to be together. We are both just waiting for that Special Day! And Whenever it does get here, every day will be Valentines Day for both of us!
I have lived in Southern California all my life and had never been to the Rose Parade. In 1971 I decided it was time, so a few of my friends and I Packed a few sleeping bags and decided to spend the night along the parade route the night before the parade . The next morning I met my future husband and we have been married ever since. My husband has been my best friend and partner for 38 1/2 yrs. We have traveled to many places but none as memorable as the time we spent walking down the parade route getting to know each other.
My husband and I meet 2 months before I trecked off on an around the world adventure on my own, ticket aleady purchased we fell in love and he waited and followed my adventures by mail and phone. Til we met 10 months later for a short holiday in NZ before my final return to oz and my true love awaiting. He passed away 5 years ago this 13th of feb and his love letters are read and reread from that time we were apart when I solo travelled the world. miss you babe

Me and my loved one Katrina actually haven’t met but are hoping to this upcoming summer. We met on-line, and we’ve been together for a year, 2 months and 10 days. Some great news is that the prices for the tickets actually dropped (Toronto, Canada) and they’re in the $200 area for a round trip! We surely do have a love story together despite not seeing each other in person, and traveling over to see her really will add tons more to that story!
Well, I’m not sure if this counts since it’s not us meeting by flight, but rather hoping that we will. We met on-line.
Me and my girlfriend Katrina have been together for a year,2 months and 10 days. We’ve been through a lot despite not seeing each other in person yet, and we’ve been together for this long hoping to meet during this upcoming summer. We surely have a love story together, and the travel there will add tons to it! Also, the prices for the ticket there (Canada, Toronto) have dropped so that’s great news! We have a much higher chance of seeing each other now compared to the recent December. Wish us luck!
I went through a horrible relationship with a violent man, I got divorced and had to bring up my daughter whom is autistic on my own, with no financial help, I put all my energy into work to make life a better place for my daughter,I was too scared to even think of another relationship, until 6 years later i met the man of my dreams,
he has showed me what i have missed out on for so many years. we have been togeather for 4 years, he is the best thing that has happened in my daughters life as well, I would love to be able to repay him with a break as he is so deserving, with all that he has done to make our lives so happy, I’m so blessed.

I met my husband in a bar, April 9, 1995. It was love at first sight for him, took a little convincing for me. Since that day, I have received flowers on the 9th of EVERY month to celebrate our “anniversary”. We flew to Hawaii in April 1999, boarded the American Hawiian Cruise ship, were married by the ship’s captain on April 24, 1999 and set sail on a one week cruise of the Hawiian Islands. It was the most beautiful time of my life. Just the two of us alone and the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. The cruise planner did a wonderful job planning the wedding ceremony, music,cake and pictures which will be treasured the rest of our lives!

Work had demanded too much of my time, I ended up single.
I had time off long over due but couldn’t take it for business reasons. A hazard of being a workaholic.
3 months late, I got a week – a cold week in March.
St Croix was paradise, warm, wet & wild
am there again – too much work and no time off.
So need another visit to the US Virgin Islands.

My husband & I will be married for 25 years in May. We have faced many challenges together including a seriously ill daughter. We haven’t gotten a vacation together in what seems like forever. Now in a week, my oldest son is leaving for a semester abroad to New Zealand. We can’t afford to go see him. My dream would be to be able to go in the middle of his semester and surprise him. What an awesome way to celebrate 25 yrs that would be!
Well, My story starts out about 15 years ago .When I met my husband I was visiting my family in California, for a few days. I’m from Mexico City. My family introduced me to him , and was Love at frist site. Since that day we are together with 2 beautifull kids and we love each other like 15 years ago……….
A DEFINITE MATCH!!!! Joe and I met in Oct 2008 on Eharmony. We are both from Upstate NY.I was in North Carolina at the time looking to relocate. My membership to this site was expiring in a week. I got pretty discouraged at this point because I heard about so many people that found their soulmates on Eharmony and my time was running out. On the last day of my membership Joe found me! The only problem was is that I was advised against men that wanted to fast track. His profile interested me and decided I would accept his invitation ,So I skipped the process and called him. We immediately connected!!! We spent hours every night talking. I planned to return home on Oct 17th, which just happened to be on my Birthday. I flew home and right into his arms. We matched! Even though I did move to North Carolina (as I was building a home there when we met online) our Love remains strong. We get together every 2 months and explore a new place.We spend a romantic week together. I guess its the quality of time spent together not the quantity. We are definitely always happy to see each other.We keep our love and relationship alive and new by planning our next adventure together and by anticipating our journey through life. Our time together is spontaneous and fun ….As we grow old together we can only hope that the Love and compassion we have in our hearts now will be as strong as it was the first day we met and as it is everytime we continue to meet.
I am 67 years old and cant afford to go back to see my sons and grandchuldren, havent seen them in 3 years,, I live in florida and my children and grands live in michigan,, my youngest son 45 years old went through a divorce and rasing his son and daughter of 13 and 15 by hmself and has leukemia,, I really would love to go home and be with my son,, and my friend lost her husband in june which would go with me,and is buried just 85 miles north of my children and she cant afford to go either,,, it would mean so much for me expecially to go home and see my children and grandchildren,, thank you for listening to my heartbreak.
I met my soulmate 25 years ago….. and knew it, but lifestyles, age and life situations did not allow for us to connect. So life moved on….. fast forward, life changes and karma sets in!! After wondering, asking old friends and a random phone call…. lead us back together! We lived in different states, shared old friends and were both divorced….. Hmmmm, I said to myself… karma or “meant to be…”! After a flight to Indy and a reconnection, we are now married! Married on the 4th of July, 2010…. 28 years later!!!! and so IN LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! We have 5 girls between us…. from the ages of 29 to 9! Wish us luck or give us a vacation!! It’s all good… my husband’s favorite saying is, “Go Out and Make It A Great Day….!” That’s the positive attitude that we live by…..
Three years ago I was on a flight from Seattle to Oklahoma city to visit some cousins I hadn’t seen in years. I had a two hour layover in Dallas. Figuring I’d kill a little time before departure, I stopped into a small airport lounge. There was a beautiful lady sitting at the counter so I sat down, ordered a beer, and struck up a conversation. Turns out we were waiting for the same flight so after we got on the plane, I politely asked the man next to me if he would mind changing seats with her. He happily did and we hit it off great and are still together today.
Happy Valentine’s Day !
My husband and I have been married for 25 years and have never taken a vacation together and alone. We both work very hard, but only seem to use our vacation funds to visit grandchildren in CO and NC. In our 25 years, we have remained best friends. We each had children from a first marriage. 25 years later, much college money and still very much in love. We would love a romantic honeymoon get away we’ve not been able to have. We got married and went home to 4 children.
I met my bestfriend, my love, my everything by mistake. I had recently gotten out of a relationship, lost my dad and my nephew. A close friend begged me to get out of the house four years ago to attend her birthday gathering. I wasn’t really in the mood and didn’t care about my appearance. While at dinner, I kept to myself and wanted to leave as soon as I got there. I stayed 30 minutes, as I promised I would. On my drive home, I received a call from my friend letting me know that someone was interested in me. I didn’t really entertain it, as I didn’t look my best that day. She asked if she could give him my number, which I said, “Sure!” He called me less than an hour later and made me feel beautiful when I was at my lowest. He has been my bestfriend, my lover, my companion, ever since.
Hiya!
Just to give ya a little intro: I met my guy about 3 years ago at a picnic after a picnic at my Christian bible study. I’m a photographer, so I was snapping shots, not paying attention to where I was walking; and he is a musician, playing a few chords with his guitar strapped on, also not paying any attention to where he’s walking. Someone yelled to him “Nick play a love song!” and right at that moment, we accidently bumped into each other and he looked into my eyes and started singing “You Are the Woman” by firefall. I got very bashful so I snapped a photo of the moment and quickly made a getaway.
He lived on the other side of the country, so we talked on the phone for months, before he invited me on a cruise with his family and his dad’s fan club (he’s a Elvis impersonator). That was our first official date. In the middle of the Caribbean Sea. He was so nervous he didn’t kiss me until the second or third night. It was the most beautiful and romantic adventure I’ve ever been on. I felt like I was in a dream the entire time. The sand felt like baby power, the waters were crystal clear, and I had so much fun on the ship I think we cumulatively slept 5 hours the whole time. I would love to go back there with him someday. He’s the love of my life. Such a great guy with the best heart in the world. I am so thankful.
I HAVE MET MR RIGHT. Never knew Love could feel like this! “I don’t want the man I can live with, want the man I cannot live without”. Romance is everyday starting with “Good Morning, Gorgeous”. Flowers are often surprising me. His cards always contain personal notes. Our song is Bruno Mars “Just The Way You Are” The romance continues with “the guy from the north”. He is very passionate about sweeping me off my feet. My face lights up every time I think of him. Everyone needs to find the love and passion that grows each day!
Jan 2011. I received a message on Facebook. It was from my childhood sweetheart who I had not seen in 34 years. On Feb 10th he arrived at my home. He had flown in from Florida. We spent the next 10 days catching up on our lives, sharing stories about our parents, children and past. We spent our first Valentine’s Day together in 34 years with roses, chocolates, dinner, just the two of us. Two months later I was in Florida. We traveled to Daytona Beach, and Tampa. Now, One year later we are planning the rest of our lives together. Today we are more “in love” with each other than we ever have been. We have not taken any lavish romantic trips, but what we have shared over the last year I would not trade for anything. Time had separated our lives but not our hearts.
My true love is amazing i meet my husband in Japan and im from Philippines he is from USA and we had two children together. And we still together after 20 years and we still love each other like when we first meet. I wish more years to come until the end…I love my life the way it is God is good gave me a wonderful husband…and children…
Well, my story starts out about 5 years ago when I met someone and found out several months later that he was married. I was so angry and swore I wasn’t going to date again until my sister set me up with someone who was (is) unbelievably amazing. We were together 3 months before he had to leave for (Air Force) training in Texas, and a month after he had left I was diagnosed with lung cancer. When his training was over I flew out to see him and we drove back to California and stopped in Las Vegas on our way home and had the most amazing time. We haven’t been anywhere since. Money has been an issue for our not going anywhere; I’ve had to quit my jobs and start SSI because of my cancer. Lord knows we can sure use a vacation get away. Surviving in Cali
After being divorced for 6 years, turning 50 and watching my kids leave home, I sold the house and moved 20 miles north. I had given up on love in “middle age” and decided to move into an apartment complex. Two weeks later a single man landed as the new tenant in the apartment right next door. We briefly said hello, but a week later he locked himself out of his place and needed to use my phone. That led to dinner and him bringing his Harley out one day. I tried to act cool and sat on it, sustaining a HUGE burn on my leg when bare skin hit the pipes.Well…we were married 2 years ago in a Harley themed wedding, and he’s made me laugh every day since. He’s been my “rock” through the recent loss of my mom and I thank heaven for my good fortune every day. Not bad for an “old gal”…marrying the 12 years younger guy next door!
Hi. My partner and I spent 6 nights in Boracay,Philippines last july 2011. As we know Boracay was ranked 3rd as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world in 3 consecutive years. The night before our flight we discover it was a rainy season in there.My partner who is so into beach was pretty disappointed.i told him its ok,we may as well make use of our suite (in Shangri-la) since you pay high price for it. But when we arrived in the island,people are friendly and even rain cnt dumpin our excitement and admiration of the paradise.especially when we took helicopter for an island tour. it wasone of my most wonderful holiday with my love.we set plans to visit it again…soon…
June 2001 was our 20th wedding anniversary. My husband said, ‘we’ve never been anywhere together on a plane, let’s go to Vanuatu.’ He’d been reading about a missionary who went to Vanuatu (then called New Hebrides)in 1858. So we went, loved the people, loved the country and are now going back every year doing charity work in this 3rd world country. We started the charity with a quarter (25 cents)and a prayer. We now have a Canadian Registered Charity and have blessed thousands of people in this beautiful island nation of Vanuatu in the South Pacific.
I met up with my high school sweetheart when he came home on leave from the Army one year. He had asked me to hang out on new years eve where we shared our first kiss.Things started to get pretty serious with us. A month later I flew out to Colorado where he was being stationed in the Army so I could spend the weekend with him. I flew out multiple times and then in March 2011 I went for 9 days. It was the last of my visit when we woke up at 1am to get me back to the airport and before we left he told me he couldn’t wait any longer so he got down on one knee at the door of the car and asked me to marry him. I said YES! We didn’t end up making my flight because on the way we had gotten in a car accident but I was still very happy we had time to take a couple pictures since it would be a while before I would see him again. We are now happily married and still have yet to have our honey moon. But he is out of the Army and get to see him much more often then I did before!
i met barb when i was in high school she was 3 yrs younger,her parents really kept a eye on us.i would come over visit and sometimes we would meet outside her after midnight and talk.anyway after a few years we went our seperate ways and live seperate lives,i became single in my early thirty’s and so was she.we some how hooked again and now have 4 older kids and 4 grand kids.funny thing was when we ask each of our past we were living in certain neighborhoods at the same,almost like we following each other and didn’t know it.
I’m currently in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend, the love of my life. We have been saving up for a special romantic trip. However, last winter, his self made business went under. I used the money I had saved and flew out to be with him, and stayed with him to help him get back on his feet. While it was romantic just to be together during hard times, I’d love to have the getaway for us too.
I thought luck was running out for me and that my relationship was failing, until one day my fiance Michael asked me to take some time off of work so that he could take me on a road trip.. WOO HOO. I love to travel.. He took me on a road trip to Miami, Florida where we went up for a hot air balloon ride and while we were up in the air, a plane flew higher in the distance and tagged in the back was a banner that said’ MELISSA, WILL YOU MARRY ME? I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! We are engaged and are expected to be married in the future.
I know this is supposed to be your typical spouse love, but this is a story of two best friends that share as much love as any lovers. My girlfriend and I left on an impulse trip to Europe. We went to the most romantic places, and would often joke that we were together and on our honeymoon. In Italy we had dinner and wine with a band singing Spanish love songs around us. In Romania, Albania, Poland, Germany, in every one of the 21 countries we visited we had romantic dinners. Almost every one we had Celine Dion playing softly in the background. We spent every waking minute together for 4 months and shared more with eachother than with anyone ever before. After a heartbreaking, tearjerking goodbye we now live in different cities and are hoping to save to go on another “honeymoon”. This would be a great help for our reunion!
Hi everyone,
Hello all
My story is about my love but it is an unusual and for me very emotional. Almost 16 years ago my husband suddenly passed away in my arms. Since that time I continue to work as much as I can and live in the same home we shared for 21 years. Our last vacation together was at least 15 years before his untimely passing. The country we visited some 15 years before his untimely passing was then called Yugoslavia. Since that time there was a war in that country after which it was divided into several smaller countries. I understand the country is no greatly redeveloped and I would so love to go to the places we visited together for the last time. I know this award is only 250.00 but that would be a great help toward paying for an airline ticket.
Thank you for your consideration
I had been discharged from the Navy in California in January, 1968. I married my sweetheart there in Mountain View. We spent 11 days on our honeymoon driving to where we would live in Georgia where I had a job waiting for me. We just celebrated our anniversary on January 14, 2012. It has been 44 years of marital bliss for us. We hope to have many more.
Well….I wanted my chance to tell my story of true love that came back.
I dated a guy in high school
who i was head over heals over. I moved away and lost contact. I thought of him often. 30 years later I see his name on classmates.com. While looking for info on my high school reunion. Wow…I thought. My heart was racing.i was very excited about reconecting with him after all those years. We met and it was
a unbelievable instant connection,love rekindled and we just had to be together….after 4 years we are still together.We are so in love and have relived our past and hate being apart. being in our 50s now.
We feel like we are back in high school again. We need time to get caught up.We have learnt what it takes to be in a relationship and what true love is. We have 30 years of catching up to do. thanks for my story…It is the highlight of my life…
Jason and I met online. We went on several dates before he invited me to his home to cook dinner for me. When I drove down his street, there was a giant Oak tree growing out of the ground in the middle of the road. I’d seen this only once before in my life…..In front of my loving grandparents home, where I played as a child..a giant, mighty Oak tree growing in the middle of the road. Our love has been strong like that mighty Oak!
Last summer we flew to Vegas to get married. He’d never been there so we walked up and down the strip, in and out of all of the beautiful hotels and casinos. We sat at a little bistro and watched the fountains. The night before our wedding day, I did not notice that someone had spilled liquid on the marble floor at a hotel. I fell hard, severely spraining my ankle and knee. I couldn’t walk. He carried me out the door and we had to take a taxi to the hospital. I was unable to walk, in severe pain and on heavy pain medication. He stayed by my side the entire time and we were unable to get married. We hope to return to Vegas so we can fulfill our dream of getting married in Vegas!
Nuestra historia comenzo sin darnos cuentas d que sentiamos una atraccion mutua. Eramos companeros de trabajo y debes en cuando conversabamos de nuestros fracasos y situaciones. un dia yo me fui de viaje a Miami y de momento senti un deseo de hablar con el y lo llame al trabajo. Y despues q enganche me pregunte q hago llamando a este hombre q yo decia q era feisimo. Pero salimos como amigo y nos enamoramos. Nuestro amor fue tan especial y fuerte q convivimos y estuvimos juntos por 9 anos. Hubo situaciones entre los dos q nos separamos. Pasaron 2 anos separados nos volvimos a reencontrar y ahora nuestro amor es mucho mas fuerte q cuando comenzamos. En esos 2 anos no pudimos olvidarnos el uno del otro. Y queremos permanecer juntos hasta nuestra vejez.
It’s been 20 wonderful years since my husband and I have been married. Since then we’ve taken many breathtaken vacations together
from Arizona to the Florida Keys and even honeymooned in Cozmel Mexico. We live our lives with passion and anticapation of what everyday brings our way. So if I had to pick the prefect vacation
spot, it would have to be the Tropical Islands of Mexico. After all it’s where we began our new life together.
About fourteen years ago, my mother, girlfriend Susan and our two kids went to Cancun, Mexico. I had been to Cancun several times and wanted to see more of the Yucatan. So we rented a car and were off to the capital, Merida. What a beatiful colonial city. That evening Susan and I decided to go out dancing to one of the clubs. We were having a great time, when a Mexican man asked me to dance. After the dance he sat down with us and began tochat. He then bought us each a red rose. How romantic, then he said he was going to sing for us. We said alright, let’s humor him. When Humberto went on stage and began to sing, we were amazed. He sounded like Vincente Fernandez, one of Mexico’s greatest crooners. Afterwards he walked us to our hotel and Susan went upstairs. I spent the rest of the evening and early morning sitting on a bench in the plaza being serananded by this romantic and handsome man. Merida will always represent the romance of Mexico.
One month ago I met Vivian on line. We immediately started corresponding using Yahoo IM. We would spend hours chatting and viewing each other using our webcams(clean viewing only). It was love at first sight for us both. We live thousands of miles apart but have professed our love for each other and plan to get married eventually. We hope to meet soon but airline tickets cost between US$2500 – 4000 depending on the period. So I am saving what I can and do extra jobs to be able to afford the tickets. I found my true love. In the mean time we continue to chat when ever we can. Was hoping to meet her on Valentine’s Day but it doesnt seem possible now.
My history is nice, I went to Trinidad to study English, and during 6 month I had hard times so I wanted to come back at my country, when a day I saw him studying under the tree and he talked to me in Spanish and he tried talk more but he doesn’t speak Spanish so for me that was funny, I tried speak English with him, we could get a short and nice talk so I changed my mind, I didn’t want to comeback at my country, after I ask to him his cell number with the excuse to practice my English and since then we started a relationship of friends and then couple now the is coming to my country and we’re getting married, he always says “even though my girlfriend does not speak good English and I do not speak Spanish whenever we can understand”
My sweetheart and I are directors for a non-profit in Austin, Texas. We had been so overwhelmed lately that we decided to get away by backpacking across the beautiful city of Austin as we took in the amazing culture. We started in the heart of downtown Austin near the Capitol, and before we knew it, we had walked, talked, laughed, and hugged all the was to South Lamar.(that’s a lot of walking!) We found ourselves at the train station, and decided to take a two hour train ride on Amtrak to San Antonio that just so happened to drop us off four blocks from the Riverwalk. We had dinner and a few drinks, then we stayed up all night because the train left at 7 AM. That was a romantic getaway TEXAS STYLE!
