Frank the Sagamore Lake George might be worth a look:

One night Luxurious Accommodation in Deluxe Rooms.
Four-Course Dinner for Two at Award Winning Equus Restaurant.
Castle Breakfast for two. Romantic Turndown with Silk Rose Petals.
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries and Split of Champagne.
Taxes and gratuities are included.

Many moons ago I had a business conference at Mohonk Mountain House also very nice. There are no phones or TVs in the rooms which for a 25th anniversary would be a plus anyway! Don't bring any cigars either.

Castle on the Hudson looks real nice so it is now getting tougher to decide, We were at the Sagamore many years ago. Lawren do you still have that link for the Florida private island house?

Castle is wonderful. We have gone for Dinner at Equus and it is to die for. Never stayed overnight but I'd like to some day...

Frank I'm frantically looking for the place for you. I lost that link when the old computers died last year....

Wow -- that castle looks beautiful -- who woulda thunk it .... a castle in our own backyard

You sound like a very thoughtful husband Frank.

Yup, and yup.

Plus, the castle is only 30 minutes out of Manhattan. Another plus.

There is another one off of Key West, run by Westin, and there's a shuttle to Key West. But June can be pretty hot down there...:

East Sister Rock Island - Luxury Private Island Rental

I am almost positive East Sister Rock Island - Luxury Private Island Rental that this is the resort that Lawren posted about but I think the dining on the beach pictures from Florida Resort - Florida Keys Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive Luxury Private Island has my vote, WOW

I know, that one looks incredible, doesn't it? And Conde Nast Traveler recommends it--they have good taste!

I just got off the phone with them and it is a bit tricky to get to, 3 hour drive from Miami then I have to take there Yacht/boat over. Also the outside private dining on the beach with tiki lights and rose peddles will cost much much much much extra.

much much much much extra.

Ow. Four muches. It must be bad. And what a shlep! Do you have to swim the last couple of miles?

Frank that IS the one I had.

It's a lot of travel for 2 days when you have so many wonderful choices right here in your own backyard. Especially since we are talking June when the weather is nice. Plus your trip in July.

Lawren which one of these two was it? I might be able to do 3-4 days but I am not sure yet, I do not mind doing 3 days here and then a night in a Castle.
