A Twilight Getaway

Okay Twilighters, are you looking for a romantic getaway like Edward and Bella share in the book series? Well, what if you could have THEIR romantic getaway? I mean you could stay in the exact locations that you've read about and seen in the films.

The Kalaloch Lodge in the Olympic Peninsula is offering two packages (better hurry cause it only lasts through May 31st) that allow guests the chance to visit and explore locations from the Twilight books and movie. Fans can choose the Bella package ($149) which is for one night or the Twilight package for two nights. (If you are interested follow this link.)

So I may think some of the Twilight stuff out there is pretty ridiculous, but I think this is a really good idea. If you have the location to offer fans the chance to explore the setting of characters in books (and ugh film) why not take advantage of it. And it's not false advertisement, because Forks Washington is real and filming was actually done there.

The Lodge is actually located 30 miles from Forks and there is tons of stuff you can do to mimic your favorite Twilight characters. You can comb the beaches like Bella or hike into the Emerald Forest after dark and hunt for werewolves. Wow, just reading about it makes me want to go (and I confess I haven't even really started to read the book yet).

You also get some of that Twilight merchandise I was talking about when you choose one of these packages from the lodge. With both you also get a Forks area map highlighting all of the locations from the book, Twilight water bottles (maybe they should supply cherry kool aid to put in them, hmm), a special Twilight dessert (I'd be a little afraid of this one), and they also give you some Twilight trivia so you can really impress other (less worthy Twilighters who didn't take this trip) fans.

So if you're a fan and would like the "real" Twilight experience this seems like a good deal. Just remember to pack your rain boots. The weather isn't fictional. :}
