Celebration Vacations for Honeymoons and Anniversaries

AUSTIN, Texas, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A romantic getaway is one of the best ways to celebrate the special days of love in your life. From honeymoons to anniversaries, "celebration vacations" remain widespread, even as travelers undertake recessionary belt-tightening. In a June 2008 survey conducted by Peter Yesawich's Y Partnership, 70% of respondents celebrated a special occasion with a vacation, while 75% vacationed in celebration of their honeymoon or a significant anniversary. Similarly, a May 2009 survey conducted by hotels.com found that honeymooners are not cutting back, despite the recession; its survey of 500 brides-to-be found that 98% are still planning to honeymoon after their wedding.

Celebration vacations and honeymoons require romantic surroundings, and B&Bs fit the bill. A four-day B&B celebration vacation is the new one-week vacation for busy couples. Added amenities and romantic itineraries make B&B getaways a value-rich experience. Breakfast, afternoon refreshments, haute hospitality and the finest in furnishings and decor add up to more than $100 in added value, according to BedandBreakfast.com editors.

BedandBreakfast.com editors roamed America andEurope to compile this list of perfect places to celebrate a romantic honeymoon or anniversary. While nearly all B&Bs are great for romantic getaways, these inns were chosen for their pampering amenities, recreation-rich locations, and quality decor, hospitality, and cuisine.
