Valentine's Day destinations
I need your help, ladies! I want to plan a trip for myself and DH (just a weekend trip) for the weekend before or after Valentine's day. We've done Paris a few times and aren't really interested in going back, but I could use some recommendations for places to go within 3-4 hours from Eindhoven.
Thoughts?!

Re: Valentine's Day destinations
Had to google map where you are, my geography is shocking.
What about Bruges/Brussels? Is flying out?

Pitt - flying isn't out, but it would have to be a "leave Friday after work, return Sunday" kind of flight. I don't want to take any vacation days for this.
Brugge was on my initial list...it's an easy drive!
I think you should go to Brugge, it's super pretty and seems like it would be a good place for a couple days. We were just there for an afternoon during a weekend in Brussels. It was super touristy but the main square was cute. If it's an easy destination, that makes sense to me.

Have you been to Luxembourg? Seems like a reasonable drive.
This would be a lot easier of I had a list of options!
If you can get a good flight, Naples is fabulous-- it's got me, pizza, and my beautiful pup... who could ask for anything more
?
That said, closer to you, I'd 5th Bruges... so lovely AND the best V-Day chocolate ever!! In all seriousness, Bruges is lovely and I also like Lille, FR (maybe 45mins south).
What about Heidelberg? According to Google maps, it's just under your four hour limit. There's a lovely castle there, you can do river cruises, and walking around the Aldstadt is lovely and relaxing. Overall, I found it to be a scenic, romantic city.
If you wanted, from there you can also easily do a spa day in Baden Baden--nice for a weekend to relax. There are also quite a few opportunities for hiking in the area, if you like that sort of thing.
Can I ETA?
I don't know that it's particularly romantic and it's probably more like a 5hr drive, but I think Copenhagen would be an awesome place to visit.
Disclaimer: I've never actually been to Copenhagen (or Denmark, for that matter), but I have seen the fabulous Michael Frayn play. It's got little to do with tourism and less to do with V-day, but still, I wish I was close enough to do a long weekend in Copenhagen!
My food blog
What I'm looking forward to in 2012:
Eating our way through (northern) Italy on vacation
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home DThanks ladies! I'm thinking that we'll probably stick to Belgium, since it's so close. We've been to Brugges before, but that's ok...it's been awhile (a few years, at least), and I could totally look into Spa as well. We are planning a trip to Luxembourg at some point, but more so to visit the fabulous Mouse!
As for Heidelburg...we've been before and I absolutely love the castle! Haven't been to Copenhagen before, but we did go to Norway and loved it, so Copenhagen might be an option too!
VA - we've not done Naples...hmmm...I wonder if there's a RyanAir flight?
Thanks for the help ladies!!!
