Who Wants to Travel and Be a Millionaire? Money Can’t Buy Love

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching… Maybe all you can afford this year is a quick tweet to your tweetheart on Twitter.  For some it’s a time of hugs and happiness, but for singles it’s often a time to hunker down in front of the TV with a big dose of comfort food. 

Unless you are a millionaire, or were organised and bagged an early travel bargain, that romantic weekend away may not be possible.  Unfortunately, the Eurozone is no longer so budget-friendly either.  A candlelight dinner and film close to home may be more do-able and if you haven’t seen Slumdog Millionaire yet – don’t miss it. 

There is a bit of good news on the horizon for singles… The travel industry is finally listening and recognising that there are a lot of singles out there who would do more travelling if the dreaded Singles Supplement didn’t make it so expensive. Quite a few companies are already organising holidays for singles, reuniting old friends, and matching travel companions.  However, the majority of singles, it seems, would prefer some privacy on holiday – without being penalised for it.

For couples, nothing is sure to cool the ardour quicker than reaching your romantic destination to find the airline has lost your luggage – including the bag containing your most romantic outfit and Valentine gifts.  Lovers can live on love for a while, but it’s smart to have Travel Insurance to take care of the material things once your feet are back on the ground.  Obtain a cheap quote here.

If your romantic plans involve driving – why take chances – especially with the weather we’ve been experiencing lately.  Impress your love by having Vehicle Breakdown Cover in place – just in case.  Breaking down in the middle of nowhere can be romantic – but not when it’s -4C out!  Unless you have a friend to phone (with a tow truck) we’d suggest you have a lifeline ready to call for 24/7 Vehicle Breakdown Assistance. 

Whatever your plans are - stay warm, travel safe, and Happy Valentine’s Day!
