INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One way to plan a trip is to decide on the end location first. This could be a country (like Mexico), or a city (like Paris), or even a specific destination (like the Grand Canyon). Try to find a place that you both want to visit, even if you have to compromise a little.  If you have a country in mind, you’ll have a lot of options that you can choose from as you research your trip. It will be more romantic if you both are interested in the destination. If you get a place in mind, try to drop some hints about it so you can see how they feel about it. You may have a certain type of location in mind, but you don’t know about specific options yet. For example, you may decide you want to travel to a ski lodge, and you can compare different options. Or if you just want a warm beach somewhere, you can decide how far away you will need to travel.  With this option, you’ll give yourself a much broader range of destinations. You could go skiing in Minnesota, Switzerland, or China. If you have limited time, you can pick based on where you can travel to quickly. Once you have a budget in mind, you can use it to narrow down which places are your best options. You can see what type of accommodations are available in the areas you find. If you don’t live in the city you met in, you could go back there and relive some of your favorite memories. You could go to a favorite place that you’ve both visited separately and make new memories together.  If you already have some specific connection to the place you go for your getaway, you’ll have some romance that already exists in that place. Maybe your partner moved away from their home when they were young and you could surprise them by planning a trip there. The fact that you care about where they came from will add a romantic aspect to the trip. For a successful romantic getaway, you need to go somewhere that your partner will like. If they don’t like nature very much, a cabin in the woods is probably not a good option. If big cities stress them out, their uneasiness will kill the romance.  If you don’t have much experience traveling together, you can casually ask some questions to gauge what places they would enjoy. You can mention somewhere you’d enjoy traveling and see how they respond. Try to remember places they have mentioned during your relationship. Most people have said, “I would love to travel to [insert place here],” at some point, so rely on that. They will be surprised that you remembered and it will be romantic because it gives them something they have wanted. Your partner may not be a big fan of surprises, so you need to take this into account as well. Maybe you can plan the majority of the trip but tell them a little bit for the departure date so they don’t feel caught off guard. You don’t have to go anywhere far away for it to be a romantic surprise. If you go to a local bed and breakfast or ritzy hotel, it can still be romantic. A low-key getaway would most likely involve less planning and therefore less secrecy.  Sometimes the only thing you need to create romance is a change of place. Getting out of your home and daily routine can be a fun way to mix things up. Local doesn’t have to mean 10 minutes away. If you live in the country, you could head into a larger city somewhere nearby. If you live in the city, you may be able to travel an hour or so away to get to a quieter countryside setting.

SUMMARY: Pick a specific destination you have always wanted to visit. Choose a type of destination. Go somewhere that is special to you. Use what you know about your partner. Stay somewhere local.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Corner kicks occur when the defending team plays the ball beyond their own goal lines.  This can be a great opportunity to send the ball back into play and score a quick goal.  Focus on the main concepts behind the kick, kicking technique, and teamwork to make the corner kick work for you. Send a corner kick to the box between the 18-yard line and the PK box.  Strike the lower portion of the ball with the inside of your foot. Send the ball towards your teammates who should be waiting near the goal. Your teammates should receive the ball and quickly shoot it into the net. Avoid kicking it towards the oppositions goalkeeper or other defending players. Free kicks allow you the chance to shoot the ball directly towards the goal.  However, the other team will be allowed to form a wall of players between you and the goal (though they have to be 10 yards away from the spot where you kick).  There are a few kicking strategies that you can use to overcome their defense and score a goal on your free kick.  Shoot the ball above the other players.  Strike the ball low and follow through with your kick.  Practice your aim as you won't want to shoot too high and miss the goal. You can try shooting the ball along the ground if you believe the players defending will jump up to try and stop your shot. It is possible to kick the ball around the blocking players.  This is the hardest technique and will require a lot of practice to get the proper power behind your kick and the right amount of bend in the shot. A throw in will result if the opposing team plays the ball beyond one of the side lines.  Throwing the ball in has specific rules that you will be required to follow.  However, a throw in also presents an opportunity to score a goal.  Work with your teammates and practice various methods of scoring on a throw in.  You must keep both your feet behind the sideline and throw the ball in with both arms. Throw the ball to players who are in a good position on the pitch. Try to throw the ball at your teammates feet, allowing them to quickly trap the ball. Goals cannot be scored directly by a throw in but do allow you to position the ball and your team for a greater chance of scoring when in play.

SUMMARY:
Score from the corner kick. Score from a free kick. Setting up your throw in.
