· Tea For Two And Two For Tea In Canada
It’s nice when you make your sweetie a glass of tea after a hard day, but it’s not nice to drag them to the largest public tea exhibition in North America. The event runs on February 13 and 14 in Victoria, British Columbia, and it’s $20 to get in the door. There will be limitless opportunity to taste teas, learn about them, and to buy some tasty tea treats; however, we doubt that there’s two people that love tea enough equally to select this for their romantic date night. If you just have to attend think about postponing your trip to 2011—it’ll benefit you in the long run.

· Write Your Own Future In SoCal
You just booked a trip to Los Angeles for a romantic getaway—good for you! Too bad you thought that tickets to the Los Angeles International Pen Show were a good addition to the itinerary. Despite the chance to score a free calendar with your paid admission, this is just not a good pick for February 14. Our advice is to avoid the Manhattan Beach Marriott and its conference rooms and head to Manhattan Beach instead.

· Happiness Is A Warm Gun Outside of DC
For those located near the nation’s capital, there’s too many options for a sweetheart escape to list, so instead we’ll list a bad idea. It’s The Nation’s Gun Show in Chantilly, Virginia. This year’s show is going to have over 1,000 tables displaying guns, knives, and accessories—they’re claiming that’s over 1.5 miles of weapons! Admission is $12 for adults, but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a discount available to those celebrating the holiday of love.

· Get Your Heart Racing In Florida
This year the ultimate NASCAR event takes place the weekend following the Super Bowl, and it’s the Daytona 500 on February 14. Despite the event’s popularity there are still tickets available, and we found a decent pair in turn four for about $370 for two. You just better ensure that you have some cash leftover to plan a significant beach layover during your race car Valentine’s getaway. The only time to get down on one knee here is if you spill your beer, so save the proposal for another night and another location.

We’re sure we’ve missed some romantic train wrecks, so let us know if you’ve had some awful Valentine’s travel experiences in the comments below. You never know, you might just save someone’s relationship.
