Go to Prague!

So I was maybe a bit too rough on the editors at Fodor's Travel Wire for posting a too-expensive-for-my-taste deal. However, they redeemed themselves by recommending Aria in Prague, a new, musical-themed hotel (also ranked #13 in TripAdvisor.)

Good job! (Although I might have to ask why do you advertise a Valentine's Day package on Valentine's day?)

Regardless, let's say this promotion (€690 for 2 nights, breakfast, and a dinner) is still valid next Valentine's day. Google tells me

690 Euros = 896.79300 U.S. dollars

I would say: if you are going to fly to Prague, you have to spend at least 3 nights. But why not - if you are still in a romantic mood next year - go to Paris first, stay 3 nights, then continue on (by air) to Prague, stay 3 more nights. Here's to Paris and Prague by air for 6 nights from $589!
