With Valentine's Day just a day away, what is more romantic than planning that perfect getaway?
A trip to Rome, Paris or Sydney would go a long way in showing commitment, but what about those who are looking to break up?
It might be frown upon by some people to do it on Valentine's Day, but imagine how the person feels.
He/she just planned and paid for this extravagant vacation to spend with that one person who he/she knows is or could be "The One" and then finds out that person isn't what they thought.
In that situation, it isn't worth walking away from the trip, but it could be possible to dump the excess baggage.
Below are a few places where the "P.S. I Hate You" conversation can take place.
1) Museum of Broken Relationships, Zagreb, Croatia
If your boyfriend/girlfriend is taking you to Croatia: warning.
If, while in Croatia, the first stop is the Museum of Broken Relationships, it probably isn't to see the art.
Inside the museum are collections and exhibits of dramatic love tales submitted by heartbroken people, according to CNN.
Donations include an axe that was used to destroy an ex-girlfriend's furniture and a wedding dress that represented one lady's recovery and growth from a failed marriage, according to CNN.
If this sounds like the perfect-place to have "it is not you, but me" conversation, Museum of Broken Relationships is located:
Ćirilometodska 2, 10 000 Zagreb; +385 1485 1021; open daily (June 1-September 30) 9 a.m.- 10:30 p.m.; daily (October 1-May 31) 9 a.m.- 9 p.m.; brokenships.com.
2) Divorce Hotel, The Hague, the Netherlands
Even marriages can end sometimes. In most cases, your wife/husband wants to break up just as badly as you do. Need a way to show your significant other that it is time for a divorce? Take her/him to Divorce Hotel.
"The Hague is the best place in the world for a divorce," according to Jim Halfens, CEO of Divorce Hotel, taken from CNN.
Divorce Hotel is a service that gives couples looking to split a place to sort the paperwork quickly and comfortably.
"We only work with hotels which meet our criteria: boutique hotels with minimum of four stars," says Halfens. "Hotels where people feel at home and possibilities outside the hotels are important, as well," reported CNN.
Adding, "They started together and they wanted to end it together," stated on CNN.

3) 'Sleep together shop,' Tokyo
This place is for those males who actually want a girlfriend, but don't have one at the present time.
At Soine-ya, ("sleep together shop") they allow male customers to sleep next to a girl for a fee.
No, it isn't that type of place, Soine-ya enforces a strict code of conduct to prohibit any sexual requests, according to CNN.
However, if one is in need of that type of service, there are plenty of places in Tokyo to check out (but you can turn to google if you're interested in finding those places).
Minimum charge is ¥3,000 (US$32) for 20 minutes. Extra services are available, such as staring at each other for a minute (¥1,000) and stroking the girl's hair for three minutes (¥1,000), according to soineya.net.
There's also a female-oriented version -- Soine Prime offers (non-sexual) time with boys for heartbroken women, according to CNN.
Soine-ya, 3F, KN Building, 2-11 Akihabara, Sakuma-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; +81 3 5829 6274; soineya.net.
4) Any nightclub, Ibiza, Spain
What better way to get over being dumped or find another person to fondle than in the town proclaimed by magazines and celebrities alike as "the party capital of the world."
From never-ending parties to lying out on the beach, Ibiza has it all. For those hardcore partiers, or middle-age crisis types, after a night on this island, you won't even remember your ex.
Advice: don't leave Ibiza without visiting Privilege, "the world's biggest nightclub" and Amnesia "home of the never-ending foam party."
Further Advice: don't take the "Advil."
5) Wellness and meditation retreats, Thailand/India
Breaking up could cause more than heartbreak. For some, it could be over-whelming mentally.
Kamalaya Wellness Retreat and Holistic Spa is tucked away in the southeastern Thai island of Koh Samui. The retreat uses the island's pristine beaches and tranquility to offer some remedy for doleful souls.
Kamalaya Wellness Retreat and Holistic Spa, 102/9 Moo 3, Laem Set Road, Na-Muang Koh Samui, Suratthani; +66 (0) 77 429 800; three-night personal yoga synergy and meditation retreats from THB 54,600 (US$1,833); www.kamalaya.com.
