I will not be stealing a kiss with my lover in some faraway place this Valentine's Day.No, my husband and I have two kids and we don't even have a babysitter lined up so we can go out for dinner. After we get the children to bed, we'll probably spend the evening curled up with my laptop watching old Arrested Development episodes on Hulu.com. Maybe we'll crack open a bottle of wine.
And so it was fun to scan Lonely Planet's list of "best places to steal a kiss" and daydream about where we might go to celebrate the holiday if we were still young and in love.
1. Paris, France: Our ‘pecking order’, so to speak, would be incomplete without the City of Lights and Love. Without besmirching the other classic places to smooch, our favorite spot is Père Lachaise Cemetery.
2. Hershey, USA: This quiet township is home to the Hershey’s factory, which produces the famous Hershey Kisses- you can literally steal all the kisses you want.
3. Kissing, Germany: The act of puckering up was invented here, in 1808. We jest of course. The origin of this delightful moniker remains a mystery.
4. Kiribati: Island destinations are always a great choice for a romantic getaway, but this tiny nation of rugged atolls offers a little something extra. It’s just west of the international date line, making it the first place in the world to welcome the new day. You and your special someone could be the first people on earth every morning to kiss.
5. Kissimmee, Florida: Just minutes from the famous Walt Disney World, Kissimmee announces its smoochability via its name and is a perfect locale for a romantic stroll through its historic downtown or a classic fairy tale kiss at Cinderella’s castle.
6. Venice, Italy: Local legend maintains that lovers will find eternal happiness if they share a kiss while passing beneath the Bridge of Sighs on a sunset gondola ride.
7. Casablanca, Morocco: ”Kiss me, kiss me as if it were the last time” was just one of Ingrid Bergman’s indelible phrases that catapulted the movie Casablanca to cult status, and forever gave the Moroccan metropolis a certain je ne sais quoi. Gaze into your lover’s eyes and whisper “we’ll always have Paris” (see #1).
This list is from Lonely Planet’s 1000 Ultimate Experiences.
