My husband has this dream: he wants to go fly fishing in Alaska. He has done all the research and he likes to tell me about it, in great detail -- about the lodge he is planning to stay in and the rivers he will fish and the food and the weather and ...

No way in hell am I going with him. But I would love to send him.

This Valentine's day, think about giving your guy that manly vacation he has always dreamed of, or some version of it. You know what your guy likes -- cars? camping? skiing? gambling? Arrange it all for him -- you can even see if you can find a buddy to go with him -- and send him on his merry way.

Of course, YOU can go, too, but ONLY if you're going to participate in the manliness. You wouldn't want to take your honey for a pedicure and have him complain the entire time, would you? Same goes for a NASCAR or fishing or football weekend. Think about making this a guys-only trip; he will thank you in the end.
