Things To Do / What to do, On Valentines Day In Sydney

Here we are again. Love is in air - absolutely.

New Years and Christmas are safely behind us but just when you thought life was back to normal Valentines Day appears on the horizon.

Of course your significant other half doesn't expect you to do anything. Hey a card would be nice but you know, you don't have to kick up a fuss. Sure..... if you really want to risk weeks of silences or worse just get the card.

For those of us who aren't itching outside the Jeweler's window with credit card in hand now is the time to face reality - you are going to have to do something for Valentines Day.

Standard options are, overpriced flowers, under whelming chocolates and the expensive over booked restaurants with lots of time for loving looks whilst waiting ages to be waited on.

Alternatively, avoid the rip off and actually do something together on Valentines Day that you both might enjoy.

Apart from traditional home based activities that we can't really go in without being filtered out by the government you could plan an escape on:

Your Own Private Yacht

A Unique Escape - your own private yacht for the night. No sailing experience required!

Forget the hackneyed hotel room idea. For a really unique and special way to celebrate with your sweetheart, what could be more romantic than lying on the deck of a beautiful, luxurious yacht surrounded by sparkling water instead of people!

You will be provided you with a personal skipper/guide to take you on a 2 hour twilight sail around Sydney Harbour, before leaving you alone at anchor in a safe bay for the night. Included in the package is a seafood platter for two and a breakfast basket with; pastries, yoghurts, fruit, tea & coffee.

This package is the "Gold Winner at the 2008 NSW Tourism Awards - for Unique Accommodation".

Passion Art 'Festival'

I'm not sure if this counts as a festival but it consist of food, wine and art so it sounds like a festival. Passion Art will be held on Sunday, 14 February, Valentine’s Day, along the Bay Run in Drummoyne (Henley Marine Drive) from 4pm to dark.

"Art installations, performances, interactive elements and great food and wine will transform the famous Bay Run into a vibrant and romantic journey" when you put it like that it does sound good.

"..get ready for this exciting new way to enjoy Valentine’s Day with your family, friends, or even by yourself". I'd second that. It sounds like a good place to take your sensitive side. Get off your Facebook and get yourself out and about on Valentines Day, you never know, Love is in the air.

Finally, just one last thought, there is no law against celebrating Valentine Day on 13th or even before then. Probably not a good idea to go after the 14th unless you are both of like mind. Might be seen as an after thought.

What ever you do good luck and try to achieve what the majority of the population do not - enjoy your Valentines Day. You might even look forward to it next year..
