Italian Island

Charming Lake Como Once well-known for its attractive villas, the Italian island of Lake Como, also known as Lario, has a new claim to fame: George Clooney. Joining the ranks of distinguished 19-centruy artists, writers, politicians, crowned heads and intellectuals, Clooney chose Lake Como as a place to call home. Maintaining the feel of an old-world Mediterranean fishing village, Lake Como continues to inspire artists and visitors with its breathtaking backdrop of the pre-Alps and surrounding olive and orange trees. Wild Northwest Thought to be the best kept secret in the United States, Netarts, a secluded rugged coastline beauty with miles of sandy beaches complimented by dramatic rocky bays, is a small bit of paradise right here in our own backyard. With a plethora of outdoor activities, local attractions, beach life, and a handful of RV Parks and camping grounds with a view overlooking the beach, sporty couples can mix a bit of roughing it, with romance.

Thailand

Aphrodisiac Island One of the most popular tourist areas in Thailand, Pucket’s Patong Beach is said to be Thailand’s best shopping and nightlife atmosphere. Patong's offering of restaurant lounges, beer bars, Go-Go bars, pubs, discos, live music clubs, and transvestite cabarets are complimented by the island's beautiful friendly, charming people, spectacular scenery, stunning tropical sunsets and warm blue beaches. But it’s this perfect summer getaway's cuisine that makes this corner of the globe a top sexy getaway destination. Many say Thai food has the ability to increase sexual desire. On Broadway Many say the energy generated from the neon signs, Times Square and the 24-hour rush is a natural aphrodisiac, or high. Known as The Great White Way because of neon and bright lights, Broadway, between 40th and 47th streets, isn’t just a must see for visitors -- it’s an experience like no other. In this short stretch of road, one can start the day with a fresh-baked pastry fr...

Saint-Tropez

Poor man's Saint-Tropez Think Hollywood A-lister playground, jet-setter rendezvous, outdoor cafĂ©s lining small ports, the yachting elite in haute couture rubbing shoulders with royalty and other sophisticated society insiders -- think Saint-Tropez. Now, think of the afore mentioned hoopla, but without heed to wellborn etiquette and pomp and circumstance. Cassis, the quaint French island less than 20 miles from Marseille, is, at first glance, a charming 18th Century small fishing port. But a quick jaunt through the unassuming port town reveals a perfect summer adventure with intimate beaches and deep blue water open to 13 miles of sandy coastline. It's not hard to understand why this is one of the French Reviera’s best kept secrets. Luxury in the wilderness Surrounded by the largest mass of Ponderosa pine trees in the world lies a secluded getaway quite suitable for romance. In fact, Arizona's Greer Lodge owners say their resort is host to dozens of wedding proposals each ...

Travel aphrodisiac

Sexiest summer excursions Summer's here and SheKnows located 15 of the hottest getaways on the globe perfect for a spicy rendezvous with your honey. Browse through our top picks for this year's sexiest summer trysts. Flamenco in Sevilla The Spanish city of Sevilla (Seville) is thought to be the birthplace of Flamenco -- a powerful, passionate and sexy dance derived from Arab, Jewish, Gypsy and Andalusian music and dance traditions. So, it’s only natural that the city has the ingredients for a spicy, sexy summer getaway. Be sure to seek out one of Sevilla's hidden Flamenco bars. There’s nothing like joining a group of Sevilla locals in a dimly lit, smoke-filled bar as the crowded room jams to the powerful, dramatic, rhythmic Gypsy guitar and cansado (song). Be part of the intimate group and clap along to the strong pulsating dance that is the wonder of Flamenco. But be sure to avoid the touristy flamenco-lite shows that fail to deliver...

4 Romantic destinations for a lovers getaway

From day to day, you and your man follow the same old routine. You go to work, you make dinner, you (sometimes) make love, then go to bed, and wake up the next morning to do it all over again. No matter how in love you are with each other, your days together can get a little monotonous. It's okay to admit it -- you might need some help in the romance department. Since it's so easy to get caught up in our daily lives and obligations, we did the research for you. Read on for four romantic getaways... Romantic destination #1: The Love Boat That's right -- the original "Love Boat" (as in the TV show with the young Scott Baio) was filmed on a Princess ship. Although the Ruby Princess is not the original ship the show used -- in fact, it set sail for the first time very recently -- it might as well be the one. With all of the couples setting sail on this ship the atmosphere makes for a very romantic time. Intimate dinners out on your balcony can be relis...

Traveling alone? Smart advice on how to stay healthy, happy and safe abroad

You do all kinds of things on your own -- so why not travel solo? Whether you are going to Brazil, Bangkok or Barcelona, you can have the time of your life even if you aren’t going with friends and family. Here are tips to stay safe and healthy and still get the most of your solo travels, no matter where you may roam! Taking care of your money and documents Always carry copies of your most important documents -- like credit cards, passports, tickets -- separately from the originals. (You might want to email them to yourself so you can access them online.) Consider bringing an extra credit card -- again, packed separately from the one you usually use. Let your credit card company know where you are going before you leave. If they receive many charges from foreign locations, they are likely to think your card was stolen, and not accept them. Find out what your daily ATM card withdrawal limit is while abroad, and make sure your pin number works in the countries you...

Traveling alone? Smart advice on how to stay healthy, happy and safe abroad

You do all kinds of things on your own -- so why not travel solo? Whether you are going to Brazil, Bangkok or Barcelona, you can have the time of your life even if you aren’t going with friends and family. Here are tips to stay safe and healthy and still get the most of your solo travels, no matter where you may roam! When Natalie Bishop told her friends and family she was going on a week long trip to Cairo, Egypt and Petra, Jordan – alone – the responses were universal: “Wow! That’s amazing!” Of course, those enthusiastic declarations were also followed by, “You’re crazy – that’s insane!” or some variants of the words “crazy” and “insane.” But really, it was neither of the above -- more like "bold" and "independent." Of course traveling solo has its obstacles (and always a real learning experience), but the lack of a travel partner is not a good reason to keep yourself from getting out there and seeing the world. Despite any challenges you might face...

Tips of the Week

Stay connected with your family and friends every week with these simple tips. Remember, it's the little things that count! So make someone's day by letting them know you're thinking of them. Learn a Music Video Dance Routine If it's quality time with your tween or teen daughter you're after, pick out a music video with an elaborate dance routine and learn it with her. (Incidentally, if you have a hard time laughing at yourself, this tip may not be for you.) It's great exercise, you'll do a fair amount of laughing and your daughter will either think you're a clown or you're cool; you win either way. For example, you and your tween/teen can try learning Beyonce's dance routine from Single Ladies . Contorting yourself into Beyoncé's dance moves, or pouring yourself into a one-shouldered black leotard is the stuff lasting memories are made of.
