Why not make a long weekend of it? With rooms at the La Fonda on the Plaza — Santa Fe’s oldest, best known hotel — going for just $119 a night, you might as well stay a whole week!

Bring your Valentine. I’m bringing mine. For years, my husband and I have visited Santa Fe in February to celebrate Valentine’s Day and my birthday (Feb. 13, if you were wondering, and it just happens to be my chocolate birthday. Again. Every year. And yes, there will be cupcakes.)

I, for one, will be staying long after the workshop ends to get a soak and massage at Ten Thousand Waves, dine at Geronimo and Coyote Cafe, shop for turquoise at Governor’s Palace, ogle the collections at the Museum of International Folk Art and breathe in the fresh Sangre de Cristo Mountain air.

Maybe we’ll run into each other!

Save up to $300 until Dec. 15.

I have no doubt that this Master Class will be the best money you invest this year on your social media writing. But you can save money, boost the return on your investment — and get a cheap Valentine’s Day weekend in Santa Fe — with our early bird specials and other discounts.
