Girl Trip?? My favorite travel sites for girls

3/15/2013

42 Comments

 
I can't even tell you how much fun I've had traveling with some of my girlfriends over the years. No offense to the guys but sometimes a girls trip is the best kind! These trips don't have to be expensive ladies! It could be something as simple as going to a local winery or spa for the day. Of course if you do want to max out your credit card (not recommended at all) or blow your entire tax return (wouldn't be the worst thing you ever did) then there are so many fun places to go. At the bottom of this post is a list of some of my favorite blogs/sites for travel...all focused on girls.

If you have some ideas/photos from your trips.. send themto me..I'd love to see them! As I was pulling up these pictures it struck me how many really great friends I have. I am happy to be able to travel and spend time with some of the most fun, kind, adventurous, intelligent, positive women around! Here are photos from some of my favorite trips.....in no certain order.
Picture


BEVERYLY HILLS- I've done three girls trips to Southern California..you can't go wrong with shopping in Beverly Hills, a day at Balboa Island and the beaches in Laguna.
Picture





ARIZONA- This was my second girls trip to AZ. If you and your friends love the outdoors then this is a perfect trip. Awesome hiking, beautiful resorts and golf (yes you CAN do a girls golf trip)
Picture

YOUR HOMETOWN - Why not have your friends come to your home town for a trip.....then everyone can stay with you for free......plan the trip around a sporting event or a concert....here we are at the Lady Gaga Concert in Charlotte...FUN weekend!
Picture

CHARLESTON, SC- I highly recommend planning a trip around a fashion show.......Charleston Fashion Week is a perfect one. So many things to do and see in this city. Great food too! Try SNOB (slightly north of Broad)
Picture


LONDON- I had no idea that two girls could have so much fun in a city. London was such a great spot for a girls trip....shopping in Nottinghill, drinks at cool bars like the one owned by Guy Ritchie (Punchbowl), Afternoon Tea, museums........what more do you want?
Picture
DISNEYLAND- You are never too old for Disneyland! If you have never been to a theme park without your kids .....try it, especially if you love roller coasters and food. My cousin and I loved the Blue Bayou Restaurant! There are obviously so many other things you can do on your trip to Southern California too.
Picture
A LOCAL WINERY- It is very likely that the area you live in has a winery or two. My friends and I loved touring and hanging out at Daveste Vineyards...a winery about 20 miles from where we live. You don't have to do an overnight trip to enjoy yourself and get away.
Picture
ALASKA- If you are a little more adventurous head to Alaska!! We combined our trip with a race, The Mayor's Half Marathon in Anchorage. Alaska is so beautiful. We actually saw a lot in three days but I would recommend a longer trip if you have time. Do take time to go to Denali National Park to see Denali, the tallest peak in North America.
Picture
NEW YORK CITY - I've been on three trips to NYC with three different girls. We ALL had a great time. NYC has something for everyone. Here we are in Brooklyn. There are so many things to do....Central Park.......shopping
.........nightlife.......Broadway......museums.........I could go on and on.
Picture
A LOCAL SPA- Another idea if you want to stay close to home...find a local spa/resort and spend an afternoon or a full day. Many times you can buy one service (massage, etc.) and then spend the day in the spa. Me and some of my best friends/neighbors went to the Rock Barn spa about 50 miles from our house in NC and had a fantastic day...massages, lunch, champagne, hot tubs.......we didn't want to come home!
Picture

A RACE- Especially a race at Walt Disney World......this is one of my most memorable trips.....running the WDW Half Marathon with my cousin and sister! What an experience to have them with me crossing the finish line!
Picture




CALIFORNIA-This is another one of my favorite trips .....with my girl friend
who loves photography like I do. We spent four days hanging out in the
Laguna/New Port Beach area....site seeing, eating, drinking and taking lots of photos for our blogs! Crystal Cove was one of our favorite beaches.
Picture



MYRTLE BEACH- If you live in the South Eastern U.S. Myrtle Beach is a good destination, especially for a race. It is within driving distance of many of my friends in the south so it is a good meeting spot. The Diva Half Marathon was a great choice for a race.......IF you like pink and want a FLAT course.
Picture


BOSTON- Are you and your friends into sports, food or history? Go to Boston!
Me, my two sisters and my cousin had an awesome time on our girls trip. Love
Boston!
Picture
SHEROX TRIATHLON SERIES- For the ladies who would like to do a sprint triathlon I suggest the SheRox series. I've done two of them..Miami and Phoenix and they are a blast. Here is me and one of my best friends at the Expo for the Phoenix event a couple of years ago. I was SO proud of us both but especially her for completing her first race of this kind!
Picture
ASHEVILLE, NC- Love hiking, wine, spas, golf, food or all of it? You should
experience the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. You can see one of the most incredible views of the Appalachian Mountains from their outdoor dining area and they just might have the nicest spa I've ever been to.
Picture
BROADWAY MUSICAL- Broadway musicals and plays are a great girls outing. Of course it is fun to see them in NYC or a major city but you possibly do this in your own town. Me and three of my friends had a fun night out going to dinner and then seeing Legally Blonde in Charlotte. Great excuse to get dressed up!
Picture





NEW YORK CITY - If you go with your friends to NYC you must go to Magnolia Bakery, The Soho Grand Hotel and to see the musical Chicago. I also went to a Yankees game and will never forget it!
This is a list of travel sites focused on women.........you might find them helpful in getting ideas for your next trip

Your blog left me warmhearted. And also the matter was expressed beautifully. I am thankful to you on behalf of all others who cannot read this blog.It also states that the word comes from Middle English travailen, travelen and earlier from Old French travailler. In English we still occasionally use the words travail and travails, which mean struggle.

Agree with you that it'll be so perfect if the area you live in has a winery or two. Chocolate and wine are my two favourite things ever. Thanks for sharing!

Ultimately, all inclusive travel deals are not only part of a bandwagon now. True, people are becoming more familiar with arranging travels especially those bound for other countries. This may be caused by the ever-encompassing Internet that allows for online arrangements of everything that you might need for a better travel experience. But at the end of the day, if you are really after the affordability and convenience of a trip, then going for all inclusive deals is the best decision to make. Just choose the right kind of travel deal and you are off to that escapade you have always dreamed of.
