Propose at the First Spot in the US to See the Sunrise

In May 2007, Henry Hager proposed to Jenna Bush atop Maine's Cadillac Mountain--the first spot in the continental US to see the sunrise.

But if you'd like to propose at the very first spot in the US that sees the day's sunrise, you'll have to head a lot further south.

Point Udall, located on the far eastern end of the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, sees the day's first rays and makes the perfect spot for popping the question. Read about the location in "America's First Sunrise" here on Lovetripper.

5082008: Couples Resorts Offer "Secret Rendezvous" Deal

Do the two of you ever spend so much time planning for a trip you feel everything is just a little too predictable when you get there? We've just received a package that might be the answer if you're looking for a little surprise on your next romantic getaway. Jamaica's Couples Resorts is offering a “secret rendezvous” travel deal.

How It Works: You'll book your days of travel as usual but you you won't find out which of the four Couples resorts on the island you'll be staying at until a week before your departure. (Don't worry: the same international airport is used by all the resorts.) It offers a great discount and adds a little adventure and excitement to your trip as well.

Price: The rates for this package are $390 per room/per night (or $195 per person) from June 1 – 30, 2008. A three night minimum stay is required. The lowest published rack rate for the time period is $606 per room/per night so you'll be saving 35 percent.

The Resorts: The four properties are:
  • Couples Ocho Rios, the first-ever couples only, all-inclusive resort
  • Couples Sans Souci
  • Couples Swept Away
  • Couples Negril
Each of the four resorts is a romantic all-inclusive but each has its own special atmosphere.
