Q. I am planning a date that is LONG overdue for my husband and I but I have no idea what to plan or do on the date. We live in cleveland, ohio and it's terribly cold. Our wedding anniversary just past and we didn't get to do anything and we rarely get alone time together so I figured I'd create a special/romantic day just for the two of us. Any tips or pointers? Note: staying in is not an option and real answers only please. Thanx!
A. I planned a romantic date for my husband for his birthday and got ideas from a website online. There are a lot of sites but one that I got some good ideas off of was www.lovingyou.com. I got a hotel room and put candles all over the room and it had a jacuzzi tub with candles around it as well (I had a friend go light the candles as we were on our way to hotel after eating). I had a cd player with some romantic music I picked up at Wal-mart that was located by the candles section of the store. I got some smooth rocks for fountains and put them in a crock pot for a massage. I took him to a romantic italian restaraunt and then to the hotel. After the jacuzzi I gave him a massage with the hot rocks and massaging oil. It was a wonderful evening. I would tell you though, do "whatever" you are wanting to do before the massage because it felt so good he fell asleep!!! LoL:o) He said it was the best night ever. Oh, I also put meanings of flowers and got flowers and the meanings and put it together with "The reason I love you is..." and gave him a scavenger hunt with the hints on a business card. I placed them in different places for him to find. It was a lot of fun planning it and we had a great time. Hope you get some great ideas and have fun!
What are some great things to do on a date in the wintertime?

A. Well. The best idea would be to stay at a nice hotel with a spa? You could have a romantic weekend & get spa treatments side by side. While staying warm & cozy!

Need advice on good places to vacation for skiing?
Q. We're a group of 4 college students hoping to go on a ski vacation. We're from Cleveland, Ohio, and hope to travel less than 10 hours wherever we go to (we're driving). We need a place with a hill for advanced skiers and another for beginners. We also need it to not be too expensive of an area. Any recommendations for what ski places we should hit up?
A. Your best bet is most likely Seven Springs in southwestern PA. Snowshoe in West Virginia would also be an OK bet. I haven't been to Seven Springs in years. Snowshoe wouldn't be too bad either. I've never been there but I think it has more trails to offer.
Blue Mountain and Elk Mountain are both in eastern PA. They are both very similar in terrain and amenities. I prefer Elk because you don't have to ski over the same terrain over and over again to get to different runs, but the two resorts are about the best in eastern PA.
Gore Mountain in New York is about 8.5 hours away. If you are looking for a longer trip then I would suggest this or push a little further on to Vermont and hit Killington or Okemo. Western NY and most PA resorts are good for a full day of skiing. If you are looking for a destination, these are not what you want. You'll be bored by day #2, at least at Gore or most of the VT resorts there are plenty of slopes to occupy your time over a mult-day period.
Tremblant in Quebec is just over 10 hours away. Just another option I'll throw out there.
As for cheap...well, you can save on lift tix by buying ahead of time and by using some of the special deals. Many resorts will offer student discounts, so dig around on the websites and you can usually find a deal. Chances are you are going to do this trip over the holiday break or at some other time when a lot of other people also have off...that means deals are scarce. So dig deep. You might score up some multi-day tix and you can always skimp on the hotel room and slum it at the Inn of the Dancing Shiva when slopeside condos are not in the budget.
Consider the Road Trip and hit up a few resorts over a few days. You may be able to get a deal on Monday one place and Tuesday at another. I do this often. My January trip this year will take me to Smuggler's Notch VT one day, Mad River Glen VT the next day, and Stratton VT the next. We are still debating hitting Hunter or Windham NY on day 4. Regardless, the most we are going to pay for a day ticket will be $12 based on the deals we have. These aren't even industry deals...they are out there for everyone. You just have to know where to get them and be able to manipulate your schedule to make the time when the deals occur.
