Yes the economy is in a downturn, unemployment is still below the national average and many people are watching their finances as well as the stockmarket but why not treat you and your sweetheart to a much needed break from the hassle of life. There is no better time than Valentine’s and even better it’s a three-day weekend (President’s Day id 2/15)!
