Valentine’s Day is a day when people express their love for each other through acts of kindness, love and through the exchange of gifts.  The historical aspect of this day shows that it has roots dating back to 496AD and is linked to a now long forgotten religious martyr Saint Valentine.  The root of romantic love being associated to this date started in the high middle ages(11^th-13^th century) Europe. This is a time honoured tradition. For some people it is a day of joy and happiness, others watch the clock accompanied by a box of chocolates waiting for the 15^th to arrive! For some it a day to reflect on the love they have in their lives, for others it is a day to reflect on the love they wish they had in their lives!

Whatever the case it is important for individuals in loving relationships and for those who are alone to look out for themselves and each other.  Pampering yourself or a loved one on this day is a great way to appreciate you and them. Whether you plan to go for a walk, gift your significant other with a luxury spa package, or take them out to some of the cities hot spots for tapas, dinner, dancing, or nightclub touring while travelling in a luxury limousine, make sure you enjoy the occasion.  If you are alone the last thing you you want to do is sit and mope about it, get out and about with other friends who are single and enjoy the day. For those of you looking to do something extraordinary, consider whisking your loved one away to a beautiful location like Whistler, or heading to the airport via limousine and jetting off to an island paradise, an exhilarating romantic getaway that they will never forget. Being that this date is not a holiday, many choose to celebrate it the weekend before or the weekend after.  Gentlemen remember when women say this day is not important, do not believe them!  Bare minimum make sure you have flowers, and a unique card, make them feel special. Love does not have a price tag and Love should not be limited to one day! Remember to tell your friends, family and loved ones how important they are year round. Life is short.  Cherish yourself and your loved ones.

One of the most important thing to remember when taking a Limousine to the airport is that you leave yourself enough time to get there and check in with no problems. Due to the many security concerns that have come about in the last 10 years many airlines recommend that you arrive 1.5 hours before a domestic departure and 3 hours before an international departure.  Many travellers tend to forget this recommendations and end up late or stressed out when travelling. Its always better to get there early and have time to kill, than to be rushing and worried about making the plane. If you get bored easily or dont have reading material, a good tip is to skip whatever meal your going to eat before flying and after checking in you can eat at the airport.
