Inspiration for Celebrating Date Night at Home for Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine’s weekend, friends! With days passing slowly, it’s hard to believe it’s already mid-February, isn’t it?
This time last year my husband booked a romantic getaway to the Kenwood Inn & Spa in the Sonoma Valley. We had been keeping an eye on the news and understood it might be our last getaway for awhile with the pandemic on the horizon. In some ways that made the trip all the more special and we savored the little details even more than usual. Little did we know how much ‘home time’ we would all have in the coming year.

This year, we will be staying home and celebrating with our tradition of ordering a catered dinner from our local favorite in Chico, Bacio Catering. If the weather cooperates we will dine alfresco as we have on previous Valentine’s Days where we lucked out on the weather. A brilliant sunset would be an extra special bonus, especially this year.

GIVE: The gift of Travel and Memories to Last a Lifetime
Happy Holidays to you! We hope you are enjoying simple pleasures, festive moments and special times with family and friends so far this season.
With all the festivities and merrymaking this time of year it’s also easy to get caught up in the frenzy of listmaking, shopping, wrapping and more. Just keeping track of all the holiday events can be stressful at times. Are you feeling it too?

When it comes to gift-giving this year we’re focusing more on experiential gifts than more ‘things’ that take up space. How about a cooking class, massage, concert series tickets or a weekend away?
At Curated Travel we are currently creating several trips that are gifts for the holidays: a multi-gen family cruise to the Caribbean for summertime, a holiday mother-daughter trip to New York City, and a romantic getaway for two to wine country. Swoon! One of our favorite ‘gift’ trips we put together this last year was a surprise Mediterranean Cruise from one sister to another. We can assure you these dear friends of ours had a fabulous time. What a fantastic gift trip and a way to make memories for a lifetime together.
Contact us to put together a memory-making trip for you to slip under the tree this year.
Merry! Merry!
For some travel inspiration I wanted to share a few images from our travels this last year that I ran through the ‘Waterlogue’ app.
Aren’t they pretty?
