The United States of Romance – Staying in the States
Start your domestic life with a domestic trip, where passports and immunization shots are unnecessary and the scenery seems both familiar and unreal. Staying inside the United States is perfect for those just-marrieds short on time and money and for those with a dislike for airline food who want to splurge on the royal treatment.
One of the most romantic cities in the world can be found in Northern California. Nestled among rolling hills with a breathtaking view of the Pacific, San Francisco is a city where ideas become action, culture becomes history and beauty becomes everyday life. Full of such recognizable icons as cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and Lombard Street, the “crookedest street in the world,” San Fran is more of a collage than city, where you must breath in the entire area to truly experience its unique splendor. The city's boutique hotels like the Clift Hotel in Union Square make for unforgettable stays.
For the more sophisticated palate, nearby Napa Valley offers the best ingredients for romance—lush, rolling hills, secluded B&Bs, world-class spas and wineries to tour and toast your new union. Known as Wine Country, Napa is the worlds most densely concentrated wine region with 270 wineries along a 28-mile stretch of breathtaking scenery, offering everything you’ll need for a honeymoon to savor.
Not only is Las Vegas the perfect place to elope to, but also a wonderful honeymoon haven for the couple that wants to cruise the strip, place their bets and catch a show. This electrified city—with new, extravagant resort casinos like the Bellagio, the Venetian and Mandalay Bay—lets you soak in the sun by day and shop and gamble all night long.
Miami is a rare gem of an American city that feels like a different world. By day, you can sit at a sidewalk café and people watch and then stroll the streets of South Beach's Art Deco District to enjoy the stylish buildings. By night, head out on the town, sample the Cuban-inspired cuisine and dance until dawn at a trendy nightclub.

It comes down to timing, for any time of the year is perfect for a romantic visit.
