Ok, admit it. You can be a bit obsessive. Hey, that’s love! It’s not your fault — it hijacks the brain! If you’re like me, you want to spend all your time with your boo. But, is that really healthy?
We all hate it when our best girlfriends go MIA after meeting a new squeeze. So why be that girl? It’s important to have your own life, your own friends, and your own interests. Besides, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
So what’s the solution? A girl’s-only getaway, of course! Here’s how to plan the perfect long-weekend away:
- Start a Facebook Group and invite your best girlfriends. Make sure it’s set to private so you don’t get randos or non-besties trying to join.
- Find a long weekend that works for all of you, to go on a trip together. Make sure everyone comments and confirms! @Tag your friends to make sure they see the most important messages.
- Pick a vacation destination. My favorite way to do this is to pick an event, festival, concert, or destination spa and base the trip around that. If you need ideas, here’s a list of the best music festivals.
What destinations, concerts, or events do you think would be perfect for a girl’s getaway?
My two best girlfriends and I lead very different lives in very different parts of the country, but we choose a destination every year for a getaway. This year the plan is to rent a 4×4 in Costa Rica and plan our own tour. Even though it is difficult to plan these vacations (I have two small children), I come back so refreshed that I know I am a better wife and mother after my little break.)
Nice read! I rated this app on Google Play 4 stars, but I’m not extensively using it nowadays.
Life is busy and time management is a skill. Availability is always the “thing.” For me, deciding on how many days you ALL can escape is the starting point!
or a perfect “girls only” getaway. Plan and set a budget! I believe it all starts there 😉
My friends and I always coordinate packing whenever we have a trip!
Great article! I had fun reading! I used to like Square Cash app but it started to ask for my SSN in order to accept cash / deposit… 🙁
Wonderful tips! My college friends and I go away annually and MIA friends pose a lot of potential issues! Excitement killer *urgh*
Such a great plan/idea! I hate hate hate splitting the bill with a ton of cards — great idea about the app — it’ll make my life so much easier!!!
We are targeting Fall 2017 or 2018 to plan some girlfriend fun in Sin City (Las Vegas).
Thanks! Looks like I’m set on a great trip to take a break from work / life. Chill and have fun with my best girl buddies 🙂
