Ok, I need to think of a romantic getaway for the me and a girl around Christmas / New Year, for about a week or so. It can be anywhere in the world. I have a budget of a little over USD5,000 for this, which is quite a lot I should think. Any suggestions?

The girl suggested a Club Med, somewhere in Africa or South America. I've never been to Club Med before, but it seems to me that it mostly caters to an older population. We're both aged 27.

What does the lady in question like to do? Has she ever talked about a place she'd like to visit? What are her interests? Art, nature, wildlife, shopping, etc. If this is to be a romantic getaway, then you definitely want to go somewhere that she'll like, where there are activities that she'll be sure to enjoy. After nearly 30 years of being married I can assure you that if the lady isn't happy, then you won't be either. It's less important where you go than making sure you go somewhere and do something that'll make both of you happy.
